Street with Peter's Hill at the bottom of the Shankill Road. Housing The housing in the area developed in the 19th century and was organised in narrow streets of small terraced housing. Many of the streets were named after local mill owners. Alexander Street West was named after John Alexander who was a local mill owner. He also named Milford Street after Milford, Co. Carlow where he had a house. Ardmoulin Street was named after Ardmoulin House, the residence of John Alexander. Craig Street was called after the Craig family who owned the New Northern Mill at the corner of Northumberland Street. By the 1960s the buildings in the area had decayed considerably and the Belfast Corporation introduced a major development plan which involved wholescale demolition of much of the area.

In the Divis Street area, the housing was replaced with the Divis Flats complex which consisted of twelve blocks of flats built on top of the historic district formerly known as the Pound Loney.
