On the recommendation of the city surveyor, the committee approved of the name Kensington Gardens South for a thoroughfare In continuation of Kensington Gardens South, situated off Kensington Gardens for Mr Gilbert E. Logan. (6th February 1951).
The Belfast And Province Of Ulster Directory 1863-1864 lists Kensington House as part of a wider entry: "James P. Corry & Co., timber merchants and shipowners; residences, James P. Corry, 1, Upper Crescent; John Corry, jun., 2, Lower Crescent ; John Corry, sen., 138, York Street; Robert W. Corry, Kensington House, Knock". It is likely this street name can be traced back to the name Kensington House. "On the recommendation of the city surveyor, the committee approved of the proposal of Mr Joseph Kerr to name two new streets on his property adjoining Kensington Gardens, Kensington Gardens South and Kensington Gardens West". (19th May 1959).
