A GVIR pillar box (BT15 706) at Donegall Park Avenue, east of Castle Gardens.

Five blocks of apartments, at 670-678 Shore Road, which rise progressively in height from south to north. This view is from the north east. Image shows the view from the south east.

An “Enviro-Grate” grating cover at the Donegall Park Avenue end of Castle Gardens – one of several in the street. Described by the makers, Pipeline and Drainage Systems Limited of Sheffield http://www.pds-plc.com/envirograte.aspx, as being made from a unique 100% composite recycled material that has no resale value and no danger of theft. This photograph appears as a matter of geographical and historical record only. It is not an advertisement. I have no connection with the manufacturer.

Residential street off the Antrim Road in north Belfast.

The last trolley bus to operate in Northern Ireland was #202 GZ8566, is travelling along the Shore Rd, towards Belfast passing an area of waste ground that later became Loughside Park

Autumn trees and leaves, along a footpath, close to the southern entrance to Shore Crescent.

A site, at 809-811 Shore Road, described by the agents as “A cleared corner site of c. 0.42 acres between the Shore Road and Strand Crescent; which previously sited a petrol filling station . . . . The site benefits from Full Planning granted in May 2009 for the development of 43no. two bed apartments, with a double basement car park below. The proposed scheme incorporates a ‘stepped’ high rise design, ranging from 7 to 4 storeys”. This photograph appears as a matter of record only. I have no connection with any of the parties involved in the sale.

Despite the name the estate is laid out on strict right-angled geometric lines – in this case a square. The Horizon Building Image is in the background, on the Shore Road. The boarded-up block on the right is a case where appearances can be deceptive. It’s relatively new but still unlet. The agents’ website shows it as completely modern inside.

A vacant site, on the southern side of Donegall Park Avenue, between Castle Gardens and Inisfayle Drive, with an agents’ board advertising a proposed development of seven houses. This photograph appears as a matter of geographical and historical record only. I have no connection with any of the parties involved in the proposed development and sale.
