Street sign at junction of Eastleigh Drive and Kincora Avenue, Belfast, BT4 3DW

Freestanding street sign of perhaps c.1920 at the junction of Eastleigh Drive and Kincora Avenue, a suburban area to the north of 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 EASTLEIGH 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. Both the post, frame and the back of the sign are now coated in gloss black paint.
