That the application of Messrs Thomas Dixon and Sons for permission to name five streets in Ballymacarrett ‘Dee Street’, Humber Street, Trent [?] Street, Mersey Street, and Severn Street be granted. (TIC, 26 November 1873) The name Humber Street is no longer in use. "A Belfast City Council committee has backed down over the naming of a new street in east Belfast. The Northern Ireland Housing Executive had requested that a new development off Medway Street be named Humber Court. But the council’s technical services committee rejected this in favour of the old Humber Street. The Executive hit back by pointing out to the committee that the name Humber had been retained to give an element of historical identity to the new development. It also said “court” had been chosen primarily because the new development was designed with all houses fronting a pedestrian-only courtvard. The Executive claimed the term “street” had been disregarded as “inappropriate”” because of the “non-linear” nature of the design and because a small portion of the old Humber Street still existed. It said the postal authorities had been consulted and were in agreement with the proposed name — Humber Court. The committee has now decided to rescind its previous decision and has agreed with the Executive's proposal." Belfast News-Letter - Saturday 31 December 1983.
