CRESCENT AREA OF BELFAST MAY 2025 24/06/2014—27/05/2025

Every time I'm in Belfast, I make a point of visiting Upper Crescent. My initial photographic endeavour captured a significant section of the terrace in a state of dereliction or unoccupancy, but by 2025, the transformation has been profound. The area now benefits from a charming public park directly adjacent and the distinct presence of the renowned Crescent Church, which, contrary to my previous mistaken impression, remains a very active place of worship with clearly advertised Sunday services. This vitality adds significantly to the area's appeal.
