Gates of Hillview Retail Park, Crumlin Road
This failed retail park stands on the former site of the demolished Ewarts' Mill. It managed to attract only one permanent tenant - Dunnes Store - which eventually moved out. The park is now used for car boot sales.

Security concerns at Flax Street
Flax Street runs between a predominantly Protestant part of the Crumlin Road and the overwhelmingly Roman Catholic enclave of the Ardoyne - which in Northern Ireland terms can be a recipe for trouble. Therefore Flax Street now has a ten foot high gate, complete with spikes - and this simple sign dictate that it's a no-through road for 'security' reasons.

Interface barrier across the entrance to Flax Street
Flax Street was permanently closed in the 1980s. To this side of the barrier is Protestant Crumlin Road and the Greater Shankill area, behind it is the Catholic Ardoyne.

Former Brookfield Mill, Belfast
The former Brookfield Mill, on the Crumlin Road, built in 1850 and extended twice, is being converted to social housing. The occupants were variously known as the Brookfield Linen Co and the Brookfield Spinning Co Ltd. The date of closure seems to have been 1962 – a time when the linen industry was starting to contract. Last seen in August 2009

Crumlin Road approaching the junction with the now permanently closed Flax Road
Flax Road linked the Ardoyne and the Greater Shankill area. This road was a major flashpoint and since the 1980s a permanent interface barrier closes off the road.

These extensive mill buildings date initially from 1865 with further additions in the period leading up to WWI. The main mill building has been converted into apartments and luxury penthouses. Another mill - Ewarts - stood on the opposite side of the Crumlin Road. This was demolished in 1999.
