Shore Road, Belfast
The Shore Road is a major arterial route and area of housing and commerce that runs through north Belfast and Newtownabbey. It forms part of the A2 road, a traffic route which links Belfast to the County Antrim coast.
==History==
The Shore Road is one of Belfast's oldest roads and is mentioned in the first census of the city – taken in 1757 – as being home to a colony of "Papists". At the time the Shore Road name was applied to a larger area, including what is today known as York Street.〔(Belfast History Through The Years ), joegraham.rushlightmagazine.com; accessed 4 March 2015.〕 The York Street-York Road and lower Shore Road experienced growth during the Industrial Revolution as a number of factories were located in the area. One of the main factories on York Street was Gallaher's Tobacco factory.〔(Gallahers: Your Place and Mine ), bbc.co.uk; accessed 4 March 2015.〕 It is no longer in operation and the building has been demolished. One of these few industrial buildings still standing is the Jennymount Mill, off the York Road. The building, renamed the Lanyon Building after its architect Charles Lanyon, was reopened as an Office block in 2002.〔("Office Makeover for NI Linen Mill" ), bbc.co.uk; accessed 4 March 2015.〕 According to Irish journalist Susan McKay, the area was the scene of fierce sectarian rioting throughout the nineteenth century until it was eventually established as a bulwark of working-class Protestantism.〔Susan McKay, ''Northern Protestants: An Unsettled People'', Blackstaff Press, 2005, p. 62〕 The areas further up the Shore Road towards Newtownabbey are for the most part more recent than these areas, with some housing developments such as Shore Crescent and the Rathcoole estate dating to the 1960s and later. Many residents of the overcrowded area at the bottom of the road were moved up to these new estates.〔(Tigers Bay profile ), countercultureuk.com; accessed 4 March 2015.〕 Much of the housing throughout the road has been redeveloped and regenerated.
