Origin of Name:
Cantrell Close takes its name from the historic Cantrell and Cochrane lemonade factory, a once-prominent feature of the local landscape. This well-known factory was located at the corner of Millar Street and Ravenhill Avenue, adjacent to the site of the new development that led to the creation of the street.
The naming serves as a tribute to Belfast’s rich industrial and commercial heritage, preserving the memory of a business that contributed to the city’s economic and social fabric.
