Joanmount estate was developed by Sir William Frederick Neill (1889-1960), an estate agent and an Ulster Unionist politician. He was Lord Mayor of Belfast from 1946 to 1949 and MP for North Belfast from 1945 to 1950. Neill bought the land from Cliftonville Golf Club, which was thereby reduced from 18 holes to 9 holes, and he named the estate after his daughter Joan. Some of the streets in Joanmount were named after places in Great Britain - Hoylake, Formby, Meyrick, Coombehill and Prestwick. From the blog of Nelson McCausland. "Resolved - That the following names for new street be approved: "Hoylake Park", "Formby Park", "Wallasey Park" and "Prestwick Drive", for new streets off Oldpark Road on the property of Mr. W. Neill". (IC, 20th January 1936).
