Shipbuilders' Belfast, 1911
Belfast in 1911 is a city at industrial height: the world’s greatest shipyard rides the Lagan while linen factories and red‑brick terraces stretch for miles. This walk passes the shipyard on Queen's Island, the new City Hall, the leaning Albert Clock, trammed shopping streets and the kitchen‑house terraces where mill workers live.
34 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Belfast as it stood in 1911 (“History of Belfast”).
