Carrickfergus from Knockagh (1980)
The view, from Knockagh, towards Carrickfergus before the zoom lens became common. Carrick had yet to start its outward expansion along the Belfast Road. The Courtaulds factory J3987 : Former Courtaulds factory, Carrickfergus (upper right) was still trading and emitting a light smoke (the smell from which was notable). Kilroot power station J4388 : Kilroot power station, Carrickfergus (2) (middle top) had still to start generating and acquire its mound of fly ash. J4187 : Carrickfergus from Knockagh (2012) shows approximately the same view in September 2012.
