Pilot St Belfast

[hendren]

I've just found out that in 1870 my gr/grandfather who was English was a Publican in Belfast.
His address is down as 35 Pilot Street, I think it was by the docks.

If there's anyone from Belfast reading this do you know if Pilot St is still standing and the names of any pubs there

Hi Maureen

Iam looking for a public house in the same area and "the  Rotterdam " on Pilot street name came up.

(check on shipwrights below and some sites were also given for that area)

Hope that can help,otherwise some else will be along  soon who can help you a bit more

Hi Maureen,

I have just returned from a trip to England. I joined the Linenhall Library as a member. I am now in the Central Library in Royal Avenue. The computers in  the Belfast, Ulster and Irish Studies of the Library are busy so I am using a computer in the Music section of the Library. I spotted  your question while looking for one about Beckett Street.

Pilot Street is still standing, Maureen. It runs from Garmoyle Street to Donegall Quay. I have a Belfast and Northern Ireland Directory 1996 in front of me. There are very few buildings listed in the street in this Directory but The Dock Workers, Sports Recreation, Social Club is at no 57. Clow & Co. (Ireland) Ltd is at 22, and St Joseph's Roman Catholic Presbytery is at 38.

Best Wishes in your research, Christopher

Thanks to you all for the information.

I knew he had left there and gone back to England by 1874
but now I know he was there in 1868.
Many thanks

Maureen.
