Modern residential development in east Belfast, in the Ballymacarrett area, deriving its name from nearby Bryson Street.
The name continues the commemoration of Samuel Maziere Bryson, apothecary and antiquarian, who lived and died in Ballymacarrett in 1853. Bryson Gardens is a later development and does not represent an original nineteenth-century street name, but reflects the established local toponymy centred on Bryson Street.
