Street sign at junction of Knockland and Barnett's Road, Belfast BT5 7BE

Freestanding street sign of c.1947 at the junction of Knockland Park and Barnetts Road, a suburban area to the south 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 of 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. Most display a white letter on a black background, in this case spelling KNOCKLAND PARK (one word above the other.) They are set on 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 restrained with a wrought surround, with the whole attached to a low (about 1m) square section concrete post which widens to accommodate the sign itself.
