A street in Belfast's Titanic Quarter has been named in honour of one of Northern Ireland's most eminent scientist, John Stewart Bell.

John Stewart Bell is considered one of the 20th Century's greatest physicists, who is believed to have been in line for a Nobel Prize in 1990 when he died unexpectedly following a stroke.
