A letter in the Belfast Telegraph (13 January 1939) from a contributor who called himself Old Contemptible complained about the state of the Ardoyne Road and in particular the number of potholes.
As an 'old soldier' who had served in the First World War he compared the state of the Ardoyne Road to 'the dreaded Menin road in Belgium where we had to be watchful for shell holes.'
As to the residents on the Ardoyne Road in 1939, the following were listed in the 1939 Belfast Street Directory.
