Wansbeck Street is situated off Lockview Road in Stranmillis. It first appears in the BPU Directory for 1899.
"That on the application of Mr Saml. [Samuel] Gelston, for the owner Mr H. K. Vaughan, a new street on his property situate off Strandmillis Road be named Wansbeck Street". (27th April 1898).
A report in the Irish News and Belfast Morning News on Thursday 28 April 1898 refers to Wansbeck Street in a different location on the north side of the city:
"On the application of the owners a new street off Crumlin Road named Wansbeck Street”... The explanation for this discrepancy is unclear at present.
