Sevastopol Street is named after a battle in the Crimean War. The Siege of Sevastopol lasted from October 1854 to September 1855. The street features in the 1856 BSD with 16 houses.
"Sometimes the gates in factory porticos were opened to admit a Clydesdale-drawn cart, and the inner courtyard was revealed like that of a medieval castle, smelling of straw and dung. The rhythm of the horses clopping on the cobbles in their tasselled club-footed hooves rang out against the opaque noise that beat against the factory windows from within, where I'd imagine doffers slanging to each other in their language of mime, mouthing silently to back up this writing on the air. From here — The Milfort Weaving and Finishing Works — I'd walk on down Clonard Street on my way home from school, turn down Odessa Street and Sevastopol Street, to emerge at the impressive sandstone façade of the Falls Road branch of the Andrew Carnegie Library."
