Bawnmore Court is a short residential court located off Bawnmore Road in south Belfast, within the Malone Lower area. It forms part of later residential development associated with Bawnmore Road, which was laid out off the Lisburn Road at the turn of the twentieth century.
Bawnmore Road was approved in 1900 following a series of applications by the owner, Mr Edward Stringer. Proposals to name the street Bawnmore Avenue and later Bawnmore Park were declined by the Improvement Committee, before approval was finally granted for the name Bawnmore Road on 27 November 1900. Bawnmore Court takes its name directly from this established street.
No separate Improvement Committee or later council resolution specifically approving the name Bawnmore Court has been identified. The court derives its name from Bawnmore Road and reflects the common practice of applying the principal street name to a smaller adjoining residential court created through later development.
