Green space, Ballybeen, Dundonald
There was a UK-wide (and possibly even throughout northern Europe) utopian idea, back in the 1960’s, that large greenfield housing estates should feature extensive areas of unused green space, both for their own sake and because they fulfilled an ideal of design and planning. The idea never really caught on with the residents and quietly dropped out of sight. Today’s drive is to rebuild the inner city at a lower density http://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/5917.
This green space is at Davarr Avenue, Ballybeen.

Refurbished flats, Ballybeen, Dundonald
Refurbished flats at the north eastern end of Davarr Avenue (middle left in Image). The remaining bit of brownish grey brick, popular in the late 1960’s/early 1970’s gives an indication of how they used to look. It was also common in railway platform shelters Image

Loyalist mural, Morven Park, Ballybeen
A mural of the Red Hand Commando (RHC) Youth 'C' Company - which was based in the estate. The RHC was effectively a branch of loyalist paramilitary group the Ulster Volunteer Force - both of which were outlawed in 1973. The RHC were responsible for 12 civilian deaths and decommissioned their weapons in June 2009.
"Lamh Dearg Abú" is in fact an Irish Gaelic expression meaning "up the Red Hand [of Ulster]".
