Belfast and vicinity town plan 1:2,500 — Sheet 130-2 [Greencastle, M2 motorway, Whitehouse Wastewater Treatment Works and Belfast Lough]
A Troubles-era British Army map of Greencastle and Belfast’s M2 approaches, prepared by the Royal Engineers and printed in October 1979, during the IRA’s sustained attacks on soldiers and police. Its particular security interest is the transport corridor: named bridges, motorway slip roads, railway embankments and access routes are plotted at 1:2,500. Military revisions to Ordnance Survey mapping incorporate aerial photography and Headquarters Northern Ireland information. Orange roads and a 100-metre grid support precise movement planning and location reports. The military key distinguishes roofless ruins from habitable derelicts, flagging potential concealment for gunmen or explosives, alongside archways, telephone boxes and police stations, although none are present on this sheet. Sewage works, an outfall and reclamation ground complete the shoreline detail. The sheet bears the explicit “Limited Distribution” restriction.
