Holy Cross Girls Primary School, Ardoyne
When this school was built - the Ardoyne was a mixed (Protestant and R.C.) area. When The Troubles started and both communities moved to opposite sides of the neighbourhood - this Catholic school was left on the wrong side.
Unfortunately, in June 2001 tensions flared when local loyalist began to harass the school children and their parents while walking along the Protestant section of Ardoyne Road - eventually leading to the walk to school being undertaken between lines of riot police. The situation was eventually eased when children were permitted to enter via St Gabriel's College on the other side of the campus.

Waste ground, Glenbryn Drive, Ardoyne
The demolition of houses here I imagine is a result of Protestants leaving the area.

Glenbryn Park, Belfast
This is on the other side of the 'Peace Wall' visible to the right - which divides Alliance Avenue (Image) and Glenbryn Park (Roman Catholic and Protestant respectively). Since this once mixed area became a Protestant ghetto - it has become known as the Upper Ardoyne, differentiating it from the Roman Catholic Ardoyne.

Ardoyne Road, Belfast
Seen here well up into the Upper Ardoyne - almost at Ballysillan. Ardoyne Road did once continue to meet the Ballysillan Park - it was closed off in the 1970s.
