Parliamentary boundary post, Ligoniel Road (opposite Wolfhill Road), Belfast, County Antrim

A cast-iron administrative marker post of 1918 marking the outer extent of the jurisdiction of Belfast Corporation (as Belfast City Council was then known), and of Shankill Division and Shankill Ward electoral areas within it. Situated on the N side of the main road, directly opposite its junction with Wolfhill Road and over a culverted stream which flows under the road at this point and which marked the administrative boundary. Directly behind the post is a low random rubble bridge parapet wall that has the cast iron octagonal cap bedded into its coping. The location is entirely rural, with fields all around. Of slightly tapered cylindrical profile, it bears the shield of Belfast Corporation’s coat of arms, below which is a plaque reading “Parliamentary/ and Municipal/ Boundary of/ Belfast/ Shankill Division/ Shankill Ward/ 1918”. The plaque is affixed to the post with four large countersunk screws. It has an octagonal banded base and oversailing flat octagonal top with slightly smaller fluted circular cap. There was formerly a post on the opposite side of the road (on the E side of the road junction), of which no traces survive.
