NS56NW 376 c.5077 6688

A barrage balloon mooring site has been identified from an RAF WWII oblique air photograph (No.1 CAM, 6089, 13 October 1942) in an area now built over by Glendee Gardens.

Information from RCAHMS (DE), March 2002

Examination of an earlier WW II RAF vertical aerial photograph (A309, 2607, flown 1 May 1941 [SC910887)) shows that this barrage balloon mooring site was located immediately S of Glendee Road. The evidence from the photograph would suggest that this mooring site may not have had a fixed position.
