An EIIR pillar box at Alliance Avenue (foreground) near the corner of Etna Drive. The number is not visible but it should be BT14 201.

Berwick Road, Ardoyne, Belfast
Looking towards Alliance Avenue and the Peace Wall - in the 1960s, this was a mixed area (Protestants and Roman Catholics). In the times since a clear divide has been formed between Alliance Avenue and Glenbryn Park.

Bilingual signage, Berwick Road, Ardoyne
This is now an exclusively Roman Catholic area (not always so) - hence the use of for Irish street signs. I make no apologies for saying I am mystified as to why ratepayers' money goes into these - both for Irish and Ulster Scots. They seem to act more as 'territorial markers' than for Irish speakers.

Alliance Avenue, Ardoyne, Belfast
Runs parallel to the 'Peace Wall'. This is only just on the Roman Catholic side.

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.

Glenbryn Parade, Belfast
In the Upper Ardoyne. Note the strange curve in the layout of the houses left and right - more noticeable from the satellite image.

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'.

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.
