The Roof Top Gardens of Francis Street

 

Bangor Seafront and the elevated greenery or Francis Street Newtownards please send any pics to – info@jgm-ni.com 

Having worked on many roofs in Bangor Town Centre Newtownards I kind of assumed that Bangor Seafront had the edge as far as Roof Gardens go but as I regularly go to Ards I have noticed recently that they too have a few gems. All anyone really has to do is take a stroll down Francis Street…(and look up of course) I just came out of the Barbers today and found this beauty across the road. Note the natural back drop giving it extra depth.

These chimneys also on Francis street use a more restrained theme yet the added variety of this particular one gives it a more rounded overall depth.

 This Chimney only a few yards away has gone for the 

“Mountain with a tree growing out of its shoulder look”

which is simple yet quite effective.

Ards Main Street

Someone recently tried to imply there was more Craic in Ards?

But even though my Father was born in William Street Ards.

I must say I would find that statement intellectually flawed.

But less than 5 Miles down the road we can see some real big hitters here on Bangor Sea Front and you can clearly see we are moving up in class with this formidable display of the “Desert Island Tidal Turf” look which is very much in at the moment “or is it out”? Its certainly very current (Strong current?)

The long Beard effect is achieved by the torrents of rain cascading off the back of this Bangor Seafront haunted house.. (I wonder does the gutter need cleaned?) But top marks must go to this…..

 Buddleja davidii on Bangor Seafront

Buddleja davidii (spelling variant Buddleia davidii), also called summer lilacbutterfly-bush, or orange eye, a flowering plant from central China, and also Japan. So this one seems to have come via China and probably through a hundred Pigeons before the one who ate it on Southwell Road and later “planted” it here in this very gutter to be nourished by its winged mentors daily. Ipeak shape and form in Aug this decadent context convey drama and tragedy steeped in irony beside temporary metal box’s paid for by the people of Bangor replete with bored Artists looking for something to paint.

This picture of Queens parade lays out a much fuller context of the story of Bangor Seafront than any whitewash ever written in the Bangor Spectacular. Below we can see the same Buddleja in context with one of these “Box’s” “Project 24” “Art never sleeps” In reality – “Nature never Sleeps”

                                                  Revival

We’re all hoping for a revival. like these Palm trees which had clearly been through a few local pigeons then imprisoned in this seafront gutter before being rescued by

Belfast Builders Roofers

a local builder (seen below in the back of his van) and taken to new home in White-spots. 

(A mates Garden) gives hope to us all 🙂

As you can see here below, most of these Cordyline Palms have now found a

Here’s a nice Bramble Plant on Holborn Avenue off High Street Bangor. I wonder (since most species are hermaphrodites) will we be able to make some Jam soon?

Hey look there’s the Ferry! No wait a minute the guttering has been replaced, No wait a minute the Bramble has been removed Crikey they are really prickly that must have been a big job – must have used scaffold for that one? OK so what about this amazing pic from the back of a “House”(for want of a better word) on Holborn Ave Bangor Co Down – just in today 10th Oct 2014. This was taken from the roof of house next door. I will try and get another couple to get a better idea of whats really going on.

Hard to believe this is Holborn Ave?

 

At Bangor Seafront Development we find the aptly named “King Street” in all its glory. We can clearly see that these guys don’t need Sunbeds to thrive.

This is becoming a cake walk for Bangor

There was some big Newtownard’s talk about plants growing up through houses in Court Street Newtownard’s but nothing Materializing yet? Actually talking about Cake there’s a nice Coffee Shop a few yards from here? what’s this they call it?KING STREET, BANGOR BT20 3AH Roofers Builders Holywood Belfast Helens Bay Newtownards

Holywood 

Hey this came via email without a name. Well at least it puts Holwood on the Holywood Roofers Garden Map

It’s actually the Bangor side of  Francis Street but what about this couple of  totally amazing pics from Mr Kane in Ards? Is this a possible winner? Certainly has that End  of days – Ebola / Disaster / Back to nature vibe about it. Certainly a bit of class. 🙂
