Former national school near Carrickfergus
Image: © Albert Bridge Taken: 22 Dec 2006
A former national school on the Beltoy Road - slightly surprising that it has survived as a ruin and not been converted to or replaced by a house. There is a plaque above the door but the name of the school has been defaced. A visitor to the site has commented "The name of this school is Bellahill National Male School - there was a similar one for females located about 3 miles nearer Carrickfergus but no ruins remain of it (that I am aware of anyway)" and given the date of construction as 1858.
