Balkan Court / Cúirt na mBalcán

Balkan Court / Cúirt na mBalcán

The name was chosen owing to its proximity to Balkan Street which in turn gets its name from: “Another fruitful source of names was the Russo-Turkish war of 1877, which indeed caused a district, for a time at any rate, to be named “Turkey”. There are:- Balkan Street, Belgrade Street, Bosnia Street, Plevna Street, Osman Street, Servia Street, and Sultan Street”. "Empire Battle Memories" John J Marshall, Belfast Telegraph - Friday 07 March 1941.
