In the foreground is the ring road, and behind that the few surviving original houses of St Patrick's Road. When this section of the ring road was built in the early 1970's, it was the last part of the ring road to be completed, and involved the demolition of properties on the southern side of St Patrick's Road. At that time there were more properties on the northern side remaining, but some have since been demolished to make way for the open development site in the left foreground. This has had planning permission for a tall block of flats for a number of years, but work still has to start.
