Roadblock, Velsheda Park, Ardoyne
I believe these were used to separate streets as an attempt to stop joyriders coming down the hill - plaguing residents. If anyone knows otherwise - I'd like to hear.

Community Mural, Ardoyne
This mural which has been painted by the Ardoyne community sets to portray this area, which is synonymous with violence, as one which is making a new start - full credit to them. It replaced this Civil Rights themes mural: https://goo.gl/maps/fXPXjjmgJvK1VMF59

Velsheda Court, Ardoyne, Belfast
This was once all Velsheda Park - it has since been cut in two. An overwhelmingly Roman Catholic area - although in the 60s - it actually had a Protestant majority. Belfast really is 'no mean city'.

Duneden Park, Ardoyne, Belfast
A typical street in the Ardoyne - long terraces are the order of the day, not forgetting the front garden (many now converted into driveways).

"The Divide", Ardoyne Road, Belfast
This is one of the most sudden and certainly one of the most contentious religious divides in Northern Ireland. In the 1960s the whole Ardoyne was a mixed area which was viewed as one step above the slums and terraces of the Shankill.
Although Protestants and Roman Catholics lived side by side as neighbours - everyone knew who was on whose side. When the conflict fired up in 1969 - suspicion arose and Protestants moved towards the northern end of the Ardoyne, towards Ballysillan which was established as Protestant. Roman Catholics, on the contrary, moved towards the Ardoyne roundabout and the Holy Cross Chapel.
This shift eventually caused an imaginary line between Alliance Avenue and Glenbryn Park. The continual violence here prompted the construction of a Peace Wall. Thankfully there has been a marked decrease in sectarian violence here since the 2001 Holy Cross dispute.
This is taken from the Protestant 'Upper Ardoyne' looking towards the Roman Catholic area - which begins roughly where the Peugeot 106 is emerging.
