Lisburn (click on photographs to bring up bigger/better versions).

[Lisburn is partly in Co. Antrim and partly in Co. Down - the first three pumps listed below are all on the south side of the city, and therefore in Co. Down. The rest are mostly north of the river and hence, we assume, in Co. Antrim.]
