Belfast Trolleybus 214 at the junction of Whitewell Road and Shore Road - 1968
This was the on northern section of the last remaining trolleybus route in Belfast, running across city to Falls Road and would cease operation 4 weeks after my visit.
This view is remarkably little changed, although the cottages whose shadow appears in the foreground have been replace by open space between Shore Road and the motorway, which was not yet built.
The trolleybus is a BUT 9641T with locally built Harkness bodywork, built in 1950.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761

Road markings, Greencastle, Belfast (September 2014)
The buildings of the M2 (north approach road) back in the 1960’s http://www.wesleyjohnston.com/roads/m2.html necessitated the introduction of a one-way system on part of the Shore Road from just north of Gray’s Lane http://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/11933 to just south of Mount Street. The two lanes on the left are for outward traffic heading towards Whiteabbey and Rathcoole. Second right is the lane for inward traffic via the M2. The lane on the right is for inward traffic along the Shore Road. The inward lanes of the M2 are almost overhead.

Newtownabbey boundary sign, Greencastle
The Belfast/Newtownabbey council boundary sign (background in Image) beside the M2 inward flyover on the Shore Road. My understanding of the proposed new boundaries, due in 2015, is that this one is unchanged, here, but Newtownabbey will become part of a bigger Antrim and Newtownabbey district.
