The contractor (Dixons Contractors Ltd) has proposed Emersons for the street names because the Emerson family had a large mill in the area which was powered by the Ligoniel river which connects Emerson’s Mill with the site. The contractor has advised that the slopes of Wolfhill were the focus of the linen industry in the 19th century with a number of important works such as the Mountain spinning mill and Emerson’s spinning mill which were located along the Ligoniel and Crumlin Roads (People and Communities Committee, minutes, 7th March, 2017).
