[5] Towards the Lisburn Road, the many amenities include a petrol station, take-aways and further shops and restaurants in the neighbouring Finaghy area.

[14] In June 2009, this trend of opening tours to visitors from the Republic of Ireland continued with a visit from a group from Manorhamilton as part of a cross-border initiative.

[19] A notable game was their February 2023 match against premier division team, Immaculata F.C., in which they were heavily defeated 10–2, and subsequently crashed out of the Clarence Cup.

[25] Nearby on Upper Malone Road is the Fleming Fulton School for children with physical disabilities.

[34] When the area was first built, the houses consisted of very basic, small, prefabricated aluminium bungalows, with the estate nicknamed "Tin Town".

[41] A predominantly loyalist area, Taughmonagh has for a number of years been a stronghold of the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) with two of the organisation's South Belfast Brigadiers, Alex Kerr and incumbent Jackie McDonald, based in the estate.

[42][14] McDonald assumed control of the UDA's South Belfast Brigade following the assassination of John McMichael by the Provisional IRA in 1987.

[43] With Kerr being on good terms with the UDA's West Belfast Brigade leader, Johnny Adair, Kerr permitted use of Taughmonagh to launch an attack on the Finaghy Road North home of a suspected Provisional IRA Commander, Brian Gillen.

The attack never took place however, as the West Belfast Brigade were promptly arrested by the RUC following their departure from the Shankill on route to Taughmonagh.

A feud between the Donegall Pass UVF and the Sandy Row UDA looked imminent as relations severely deteriorated.

To avoid a war with the UVF, McDonald negotiated a resolution where the Moorehead would be housed on the edge of Taughmonagh and warned to lay low.

[49] McDonald held a crisis meeting following the shooting of Jim Gray by the LVF, suspecting Adair of being involved.
