Distance
1
The M2 hill section, Bellevue, Belfast
The view, towards the centre of Belfast, from the Bellevue Bridge on the Antrim Road. This section of the motorway has a maximum gradient of 1 in 15 making the third lane very useful for loaded lorries. The Ulsterbus “Goldline” express (middle right) had little difficulty in making the climb and was overtaking in the middle lane. Image shows the view in the other direction.

Former trolleybus turning circle, Bellevue, Belfast (1)
See Image The last Belfast trolleybus ran on 12 May 1968. Although the route extended to Glengormley some, on the Bellevue service, terminated at this turning circle (still paved with setts- see Image) on the eastern side of the Antrim Road. The recess in the zoo wall (upper left) was to allow a safe spot for passengers using the stop on that side of the road. Image shows the one at Strathmore Park.

Former zoo entrance, Belfast
A now-disused entrance, at a badly-sighted spot on the Antrim Road, opposite Floral Gardens. The name “Bellevue” has not been removed explaining why Belfast Zoo is still sometimes locally called “Bellevue Zoo”.

Floral Lane, Belfast (March 2017)
A short path running from the Antrim Road to the Whitewell Road (background). It looks very tranquil but the sound of the M2 Image (below the fence on the left) is very intrusive.
