Road running through the eastern part of the Belfast Harbour Estate. The road was probably first laid out c1920 and is marked on maps from that time as the Connswater Road; it was probably renamed later when it ran to the new aerodrome (opened 1933) which was formed on the reclaimed land at Sydenham. This aerodrome is now George Best Belfast City Airport http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=30014158 and is mainly accessed from the Sydenham bypass, although there is (non-public) access from Airport Road. The Bombardier factory is on the left, this first opened in 1936 Image The BHC marker on the wall can be seen at Image
