This majestic watercourse isn’t shown on the 1:50,000 map or the 1:12,000 Greater Belfast street map. It’s a stream which flows into the Lagan somewhere between Derriaghy and Lambeg. This view (upstream), from close to where it goes underground at Queensway, shows some recent work done under what seems to be the “Minor/Urban Watercourse Maintenance Programme A 2012/2013 - Greater Belfast”. The fields on the right have public access and used to be known as the “Killeaton Amenity Area”. The Goole map and the satellite photograph do not quite coincide. Image shows the stream about to pass under Queensway.
