Chris, How many streets west of the Crumlin road is it? One? Is it in the area that had two or three streets behind the row of houses right on the Crumlin road, and in the 60's still had the open fields down to the river? Or is it a new development going further west of these streets, and on right over the river and the open fields that used to exist there?

Abbey Dale Crescent is the only other street between it and the Forth River. The Glencairn development is more modern on the western bank, and quite separate from it, accessed from Forthriver Road and Glencairn Road. Chris Morgan
