TEXT ON PICTURE:

BELFAST - BEAL FEIRSTE. ENTRANCE TO THE TIDAL FORD - The name is a corruption of Beal Feiriste, "Entrance to the Tidal Ford." The river Lagan was here passed at low water by a ford (near where the "Long Bridge" was afterwards built), which was well known in early times. At the end of the 12th century, when John de Courey set up as an independent sovereign in Ulidia, he had a castle at this point, and it was here that the Mandevilles murdered the last de Burgo Earl of Ulster in 1333. The town owes its origin to Sir Arthur chichester, Baron Chichester of Belfast, who was granted the manor in 1604.
