Neagh Road

Built on land purchased in 1925 by the Corporation from St Teresa’s Monastery, Neagh Road first appears in Thom’s in 1939 when 150 Corporation houses are recorded.¹

The road originally ran from Melvin Road to Derravaragh Road, but by 1949 a further stretch was added, as far as Aideen Avenue, and private houses built.² By 1952 the residents and valuation of the new houses were listed in Thom’s.³

The name of this new part of the road was changed to Aideen Drive in 1954, following a plebescite of the ratepayers.
