"New names for five stretches of roadway
Belfast Harbour Commissioners yesterday agreed to names for five stretches of roadway in the harbour area. The following designations were given:—
Roadway linking Dufferin Road and Pollock Road—Pollock Road; roadway leading from Dufferin Road, along the east side of Sinclair Wharf Shed, to the Coaling Wharf, Municipal Power Station West—Sinclair Road; roadway from end of Sinclair Wharf to M’Caughey Road—Stenson Road; roadway leading from Dufferin Road, along the south side of Milewater Basin to Spencer Dock—Spencer Road; and roadway along the northwards end of North Foreshore, County Antrim reclamation—Northern Road". (Belfast News‑Letter 18 July 1962).
Pollock Road is beside the Pollock Dock which was named after Hugh MacDowell Pollock. He served as a member of the Belfast harbour commission from 1899 until his death in 1937 and as president of the commission from 1918–21. In 1933 the harbour commission named the new Pollock Dock and basin after him.
