It belongs to an era of repeated IRA attacks on police and troops, when detailed street knowledge was essential for patrols and searches. The Army adapted the Ordnance Survey base using Headquarters Northern Ireland information and aerial photography, then added conspicuous yellow roads in 1975. Together with the magenta reference grid, these changes made routes and individual locations easier to identify and report. Houses, gardens, schools and industrial premises line the Shore Road and railway corridor beside Belfast Lough. The security interest lies in the Army’s revisions of a densely settled coastal approach, where current information on buildings and routes mattered.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54231690183003,"sku":"P-8-007255","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-8-007255a.jpg?v=1790885174"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/whitehouse.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
