Ballynoe Gardens is part of the Kilcooley estate. The estate was built over a period in the 1960’s/70’s when large estates were fashionable and green spaces such as that in the foreground and here Image were automatic provisions. It housed mainly what was called “overspill” from east Belfast. At the time of planning and construction officialdom considered that Belfast had reached its maximum size and was unlikely to see any significant new development – a doubtful concept as we now know. The 1970 Development Plan makes interesting reading (with hindsight).
