A Century of Belfast : Events, People and Places Over the 20th Century Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This fascinating selection of photographs illustrates the extraordinary transformation that has taken place in Belfast during the 20th century.

The book offers an insight into the daily lives and living conditions of local people and gives the reader glimpses and details of familiar places during this century of unprecedented change.

Many aspects of Belfast's recent and often turbulent history are covered, famous occasions (even infamous) and notable individuals are remembered and the impact of national and international events is witnessed. The book provides a striking account of the changes that have so altered Belfast's appearance and records the process of transformation.

Drawing on detailed local knowledge of the community, and illustrated with a wealth of black-and-white photographs, all chosen from the impressive collections of the National Museums and Galleries of Northern Ireland, this book recalls what Belfast has lost in terms of buildings, traditions and ways of life.

It also acknowledges the regeneration that has taken place and celebrates the character and energy of local people as they move through the first years of this new century.
