The river in question is the Farset, which in the late 1700s was still open in what was then the Back-Of-The-River area and is now Bank Square. It was all covered over by 1804.
The 2015 installation of ‘life in the old days’ panels is by Annemarie Mullan, Stephen Mackey, and King Street Arts, presenting street scenes inspired by “information from the 1898 census” (CultureNI | Love Belfast).
