A milepost, at Queensway, outside Derriaghy cricket ground, showing the distances to Lisburn as 2½ miles, Belfast 6 miles and Hillsbro (Hillsborough) 4¾ miles (statute). The post is in poor condition and the distance to Hillsborough is none too clear. A much clearer photograph of this can be seen at Image (January 2012).

See Image The Killeaton River about to go underground at Queensway. The Goole map and the satellite photograph do not quite coincide.

This majestic watercourse isn’t shown on the 1:50,000 map or the 1:12,000 Greater Belfast street map. It’s a stream which flows into the Lagan somewhere between Derriaghy and Lambeg. This view (upstream), from close to where it goes underground at Queensway, shows some recent work done under what seems to be the “Minor/Urban Watercourse Maintenance Programme A 2012/2013 - Greater Belfast”. The fields on the right have public access and used to be known as the “Killeaton Amenity Area”. The Goole map and the satellite photograph do not quite coincide. Image shows the stream about to pass under Queensway.

Telephone box, at the corner of Killeaton Crescent (background) and Queensway, close to Image Today was the first real frost of the 2012/13 winter. The box looks a bit misty as the frost starts to thaw.
