The Wilmar Road, near Lambeg
Part of a road running (under several different names) from Ballymacash, Lisburn to Black’s Road at Dunmurry and acting as a bypass of Hilden, Lambeg and Dunmurry. For those with an interest in such things it is numbered as the A513. The continuation (behind me) to Dunmurry is the A512 while the bypassed road is the A1. Northern Ireland road numbering does not follow any discernible pattern. Indeed the Regional Development minister, in the previous Assembly had to admit (in answer to a question) that the explanation for its origin had been lost with the passage of time.

Former "Charley" school, Derriaghy (1)
See Image The second “Charley” school was this one (now closed), on the Derriaghy Road, near Dunmurry. The plaque Image records that it was built in 1888 in memory of Mary Charley. It does not record whether it was a National School so it might (only might) have been what was sometimes called a “church school”.
