Haypark Avenue

Haypark Avenue
Year approved: 1879
BT7

"Resolved that Mr Martin's new street hear Ormeau Park be named Haypark Avenue".  (8th January 1879).  "That on the application of Messrs H and J Martin two new streets off Ormeau Road be called Parkmore Street and Haywood Avenue as shown on plan submitted". (24th March 1886). It is thought this street gets its name from the fact that George Augustus Chichester (14 August 1769 – 5 October 1844) who was heavily in debt had moved to live in the Ormeau area, 'Haypark,' was a part of the home farm of the Marquis when residing at Ormeau (1807-1844).
