Tboy, The Serpentine Road is opposite St Gerards and beside the golf course on the Antrim Road but the Wrigley or Snakey path is about 10 mins walk up the road on your right towards Bellevue :)
oh yes i remember it   now, twas a short cut to whitewell and saved on bus fares along the shore road :)

I didn't realise this was the White City, we called it the flat roofed houses.  I had some friends that still live there.

The White city is on Whitewell Road opposite the Arthur Bridge which leads down towards Abbeycentre. The old Throne Hospital is still there but has been renovated into offices. :) The houses at Doagh Road is Fernagh estate :)
