"The city surveyor submitted application from Messers Wm. McMillan and Sons requesting that the street name Norwood Ave to be given to a new thoroughfare and continuation of Norwood Avenue and he recommended that the application be acceded to. The recommendation was adopted". (4th September 1951).
It is likely the "Norwood streets" take their name from Norwood Tower which dates to the middle of the nineteenth century. It was the home of the Henderson Family who at one point owned both the Belfast Newsletter and Belfast Weekly News.
