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.

The Ballysillan Road, Belfast (1)
The Ballysillan Road runs from the Crumlin Road (behind me) to the Old Cavehill Road. The road (but not all the houses and streets) seems to have been built towards the end of the 19th century. This view, at just under 300ft, is from opposite the Bilston Road. The entrance to the leisure centre is marked by the blue sign at middle right.
