In the 1950s, the city of Belfast grew outwards. Housing estates were built in Finaghy; Benmore, Locksley and Erinvale, which caused the population at least to double. Finaghy now refers to the area along the Lisburn Road from the King's Hall to the start of Blacks Road and between the Malone Road and the M1 Motorway bridge at Finaghy Road North. The heart of the area is Finaghy crossroads, where the Lisburn Road intersects with Finaghy Road North and Finaghy Road South.
