It would seem reasonable to surmise that the "Springhill streets" take their name from Springhill Farm which dates back to at least 1833 as can be seen in this advert: "VALUABLE FARM AND RESIDENCE, NEAR BELFAST. To be SOLD by AUCTION, at Mr. HYNDMAN’S MART, CASTLE PLACE, on WEDNESDAY, 1ST March next, at the Hour of ONE o’clock. THE DWELLING HOUSE, OFFICES, AND FARM of SPRINGHILL, adjoining Springfield Bleach-Green, in the Townland of Ballymagarry, Lower Falls, within two miles of Belfast, held by Lease, for the remainder of the term of 46 years, from Ist November, 1833, at the Yearly Rent of £155, 13s 3d.
