Conway Street / Sráid Mhic Con Midhe

There is a reference to Conway Street in Martin’s Street Directory (1842) “from Falls road to Shankhill road”. It is surmised that the street takes its name from Sir Fulke Conway (abt 1565- 1624). Lowry states that in 1606 Conn O’Neill gave seven townlands to Sir Fulke Conway. (p.23). The 1852 edition of Henderson’s Belfast Street Directory includes this listing: “Kennedy’s mill buildings” between 14 and 26. "The Committee approved the undernoted applications for the ...continuation of existing streets to which the Royal Mail had offered no objection: Conway Street Off Falls Road, BT12 Harry Rolston Architects Ltd".
