In 1925 Vernon Street began almost on Botanic Ave., (Posnett Street) one block south of Shaftesbury Square and ran on a curve paralleling the Donegall Pass east towards the Ormeau Road and ending at Havelock Street which came out at the Ormeau Road. Almost all of the houses on Vernon Street were on the south side of the street and backed on the GNR railway line. On the north side there were many streets intersecting Vernon Street such as Pine, Spruce, Beech, Silvergrove, Auburn, and Virginia. This area was known in Belfast as the 'Donegall Pass' area. Posnett Street is still there. I think many of the others may now be gone. Hope this helps.
