Your best bet is Alan Godfrey Maps at http://www.alangodfreymaps.co.uk/ Their online catalogue is at http://www.alangodfreymaps.co.uk/acatalog/ Ulster maps are at http://www.alangodfreymaps.co.uk/acatalog/Northern_Ireland.html Remember Belfast is mostly in Co. Antrim, but partly in Co. Down. These maps are excellent value for money as they show the streets so accurately, even showing the individual properties in most streets. At the price it's not expensive to buy all the Belfast set. Anyone who's really interested in maps and wants to know historical Belfast may be interested in the wonderful collection of Belfast maps available from the Royal Irish Academy, in association with Belfast City Council. They're Irish Historic Towns Atlas project is well advanced, see; http://www.ria.ie/shop/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=3&cat=Irish+Historic+Towns+Atlas These are not cheap, but excellent for those with an interest in historical maps as they show the evolution of the city. I have Irish Historic Towns Atlas No. 12 Belfast, Part I, to 1840, and will buy Part II when it's published - and Georgian Belfast, 1750-1850, when I have some extra cash! Chris Morgan

Thanks Chris, It all looks very promising.

Could someone please explain what part of Belfast comes under Co. Down? I am talking of the period up to 1860. Are there any maps that give a clear picture of what is Belfast Antrim and what is Belfast Down? Thankyou Marie

Chris, A big thank you for forwarding the below website address for early street maps of Belfast. I have ordered and received my maps the following day....fantastic! They are exactly what I was looking for.
