Dianne, I have searched my 1901 Belfast street directory as well as my 1852 directory. I am sorry but there is not an Abbeydale Park listed in either of them. However, in the 1852 directory there is an Abbey Street, Peter’s Hill. In the 1901 directory there are several Abbey streets listed. All the same street but it runs into different wards.

Abbey Dale Park runs between Abbey Dale Crescent and Abbey Dale Drive, and is to the south-west side of Crumlin Road, running parallel with it for about 250 metres. It is not shown on the 1901 map, the area then being open fields, immediately opposite Ballysillan Presbyterian Church, and running down to the Forth River. Chris Morgan
