Newtownbreda, Ormeau Road, Belfast: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the charm of rural life in Belfast, Northern Ireland, circa early 1900s. The scene unfolds on Ormeau Road in the Newtownbreda area, where quaint cottages line the street, their whitewashed walls adorned with ivy and their thatched roofs sloping gently towards the ground. The peaceful ambiance is further accentuated by the lush greenery surrounding the houses, with trees and shrubs framing the image and casting dappled sunlight onto the cobblestone path. In the foreground, a lady in a flowing, Victorian-era dress, her bonnet adorned with a delicate ribbon, walks her beloved dog along the road. The dog, a loyal companion, trots faithfully by her side, its ears perked up in anticipation of their next adventure. The lady's serene expression and the dog's joyful demeanor convey the simple pleasures and close bond between human and animal in this idyllic setting. Newtownbreda, located in County Antrim, was once a picturesque village nestled on the outskirts of Belfast. Its name is believed to have originated from the Irish 'Tuaim an Bhreatha,' meaning 'the mound of the priest,' a testament to the area's rich history. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, inviting us to imagine the stories and memories that were once a part of this charming rural street scene.
