Alliance Avenue, Belfast
Quite a long (and by no means straight) street running from the Oldpark Road/Cliftonville Circus (behind me) to the Ardoyne Road. Developed after 1906 when it had four houses and Cliftonville showgrounds.

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.

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.

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