Graham Gardens, Cregagh
Graham Gardens sits just inside the city's municipal boundary and was constructed between 1936 and 1949. The long period can be explained by the effect of WWII - as numbers 17-23 are of a much more austere design. In the early 1990s, a mews development called "The Village Green" was constructed at the far end.

Overgrown Public Park, Ladas Drive
Until the 1980s this was a pleasant park by the Loop River. However it fell into a sharp decline and is now heavily overgrown. The park benches have been removed also.

Former access to Graham Gardens, Cregagh
Prior to the construction of Ladas Drive in the 1940s, this was the access to Graham Gardens from the Cregagh Road - opposite Onslow Parade. Furthermore I believe this may have been a bus terminus at one stage. Nowadays it's used frequently by driving schools as a place for practising manoeuvres. Indeed a driving school car can be seen parked on the left.

Bells Bridge, Cregagh Road
This is Bells Bridge Roundabout which was constructed in the 1940s in line with Ladas Drive and Mount Merrion Avenue - which at that time formed part of a ring road around the outside of the city. I presume at one point there was a bridge near here - as the Loop River passes nearby. This is also the municipal boundary between Belfast City and the Borough of Castlereagh.

Ladas Walk, Cregagh
This is Ladas Walk - certainly part of lesser spotted East Belfast - it is tucked away in a quiet corner off Ladas Way/Daddy Winker's Lane. The taller building in the background is part of the Village Green development, accessed by Graham Gardens.
