A plaque, at a house on the Belfast Road, Antrim, commemorating the photographer WA Green. This is the link to the Ulster History Circle site http://www.ulsterhistory.co.uk/wagreen.htm but this link http://www.rascal.ac.uk/index.php?CollectionID=89&navOp=locID&navVar=33 gives a much better description of his work and achievements. The collection is now in the hands of the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum which levies a charge for reuse – no Creative Commons Licence in his time.

Bourlon Road, Antrim. Although it has been a cul-de-sac for many years it would once have went from the Belfast Road, where the photo was taken from, to the Greystone Road. After realigning the Greystone Road to link it to the then just completed Fountain Hill, Bourlon Road was terminated near the spot where it would have joined the Greystone Road. This would have happened in the late '60's when Antrim started to rapidly expand with the arrival of the British Enkalon factory manufacturing nylon thread and a consequent growth in the population coming from all over N. Ireland for the well-paid jobs which became available. Unfortunately the boom times ended suddenly in 1980 when Enkalon closed down, unable to compete with cheap nylon products from the Far East.

The Belfast Road on the approach towards the centre of Antrim. On the right a house has been demolished - the site is vacant pending potential redevelopment. I believe that a gate pier at the front of the house, also demolished, had a flush bracket bench mark on it - this has also gone. The bracket was numbered OSBM 3268.

A subway under Fountain Hill. It carries one of the many paths in and around the Parkhall estate.

A roundabout at the junction of Fountain Street and Belfast Road.
