More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Since 1603, when Sir Arthur Chichester was given the Castle of Belfast, the harbour and its trade has contributed to the growth of that part of the city on the north bank of the River Lagan. Many of the merchants and industrialists built their fine houses in what is now north Belfast. There, too, they built the Poor House (now Clifton House), the new parish church of St Anne, shipyards, cotton and linen mills, a tobacco factory and the oldest grammar school in the city, the Belfast Royal Academy. This fascinating collection of over 200 photographs reflects these developments and charts the history, character and life of North Belfast over the last one hundred years. Chapters showing the churches, schools and harbour are complemented by sections dealing with the everyday life of the people of North Belfast, from leisure and social events to some notable local residents.This informative and interesting compilation is sure to appeal to all those who know North Belfast. Those who remember old times will feel nostalgia as they read this, while newcomers will find it an invaluable guide to the area. This collection of photographs from Lagan to Cavehill has been assembled by North Belfast Historical Society with contributions from members, friends, residents and local institutions.

Format:Paperback
Having grown up in North Belfast, I found the book fascinating, revisiting as it does areas I can recognise and identify with. My only reservation is that at three times the length, and ten times the number of photographs it would still be too short.
