Bryson Court / Cúirt Uí Bhriosáin
BT5
Ballymacarrett

Modern residential development in east Belfast, deriving its name from nearby Bryson Street.

The name continues the commemoration of Samuel Maziere Bryson, apothecary, antiquarian, and early collector of Irish-language manuscripts, who died in Ballymacarrett in 1853. Like Bryson Gardens, this is a later development and reflects the extension of an established local naming pattern rather than an original nineteenth-century street name.
