NELSON STREET 4565
We are in the Docks area of Belfast and this is Nelson Street back in 1955.
Standing in the doorway of her house is a housewife and going by her pinnie
she has been working hard. But at the moment she's all smiles for the coalman
is delivering her a bag of coal from Henderson, I bet the coalman's back is
aching by the end of the day. What is interesting is that they have removed
the cobbles from half of the road for tarmac and yet what half needs repairing
already.
GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY STATION
4536
Looking across Great Victoria Street to the Great Northern Railway Station
and to feel safe.lthough the sun is shining it must be very cold for everyone
has got coats on as the people are queued up and holding suitcases back in
1943 at 9.35am I wonder where they are going? It can't be to get to safety
for the bombing of Belfast stopped 2 years past. Perhaps factory work or just
going down South to relatives
