Tea Lane Houses

These photographs relate to the Tea Lane Houses which were dismantled and moved to the Folk Museum in the mid to late 1970s. They came from Rowland Street, off Sandy Row, Belfast. When the houses were built in the early 19th century, Rowland Street was known as Tea - pronounced ‘Tay’ Lane.

Of an original terrace of 22 houses, the building material from 12 were salvaged to rebuild six at the museum. These were Nos.28-38, now numbered 1-11 at the museum.
