Rural Gardens, Glengormley
A street, on the north western side of the Hightown Road, close to the M2 Image The 1966 one-inch map shows it at the limit of developed Greater Belfast. Shortly afterwards the Ministry of Commerce and the Antrim and Ballymena Development Commission began acquiring much of the land between the Hightown Road and Mallusk for industrial and commercial development. One of the attractions of the area was its proximity to the Sandyknowes roundabout Image The Hightown Road ceased to be rural.

The M2 hill section, Glengormley
Image showed the M2 during the construction of a third (inward/southbound) lane in October 2007. Unfortunately the low bridge Image, on the Hightown Road has been replaced by something a bit higher, at chin level, making an exact “before and after” impossible. This view is from the Hightown Road but looking diagonally across the motorway. The lorry is on the “new” third lane. The old corrugated crash barrier has been replaced by the modern concrete variety.
