In 1850, a set of maps was prepared and printed for Belfast for the purpose of sales through the Incumbered Estates Court. Over a century later, C.E.B. Brett laboriously transferred in pencil the basic information contained in the leases of the Donegall family onto the printed maps. The annotated plans trace the history of individual plots, providing an unprecedented visual record of the buildings and trades of Belfast people through the Georgian period. This source has been known to scholars for some time but not extensively used. Georgian Belfast, 1750-1850 reproduces each of the twenty-eight sheets in large format and colour, drawing attention to this unique documentation of the town. The maps are introduced in part I by an historical essay on the relations between the town and the Donegall family by W.A. Maguire and an account of the maps, the leases and the Incumbered Estates Court by C.E.B. Brett. Part II contains the maps with commentaries on their content by Raymond Gillespie. This section also provides extracts from comparable maps of Belfast and views of particular buildings. Part III completes the books with a directory compiled by C.E.B. Brett on the tradespeople mentioned in the leases.
