"That the York Street Spinning Company be informed that Mr Wilson applied to have a new street off the Antrim Road named Jubilee Street that the Committee did not think it is a suitable name for that street, that in opposition to the Committee's wish Mr Wilson named and advertised the street as Jubilee Street and the Committee do not see any reason to alter their opinion, and must request owners to submit another name". (6th April 1887).
"Mr E. W. Pim attended as to Mulholland Street, having taken a shop at the corner of the street, he would be glad if an arrangement could be come to about the nam, and he was informed, that the Council had approved of the name, but that if another one than Jubilee was submitted the application would be favourably considered". (27th July 1887).
Pim Street was built about 1890 by Robert Wilson, a builder, who came to Belfast from Lame, Whether without consulting the City Council or against their wishes, he named it Jubilee Street, in commemoration of Queen Victoria’s Jubilee, the Council refused to ratify the name as there was already a Jubilee Terrace, but Wilson persistedThe authorities had the offending name removed and put up ‘Pim Street” instead, from Pim Bros, grocers, High Street, who at that time had a branch shop on the comer. This squabble between the builder and the Council created a lot of amusement throughout the city, and the enterprising builder was ever afterwards known as “Jubilee Wilson”. The name Pim Street appears first in the Directory of 1892. This street had previously been called Mulholland Street.
