Donegall Pass was “one of the avenues or passes through Cromac Woods by Arthur, second Earl of Donegall in 1666. On a map dated 1795, it is marked “The Pass Loning”. (Carson p26) It is included in the list of streets in the Belfast Directory 1835-1836 with a reference to Malone Road as an adjoining street. The 1839 edition of Martin’s Belfast Directory lists people living here.
