Street sign at junction of Clonlee Drive and Upper Newtownards Road, Belfast, BT4 3ET

Freestanding street sign of c.1923 at the junction of Clonlee Drive and Upper Newtownards Road. This sign is typical of those used throughout the then Belfast Corporation area in the early to mid 20th century, being composed white on black tiles sporting slightly elongated sans serif lettering. The glazed tiles themselves are roughly 12cm high and of slightly varying widths according to the nature of the character thereon, with most displaying a white letter on a black background, in this case spelling CLONLEE DRIVE (one word above the other.) They are set on what seems to be a (cement?) back plate with additional blank tiles used to fill the extra space on the lower row. Moulded tiling frames the sign and this is encased with a wrought iron frame, which is attached to a plain iron post.
