Amazing to see my old house when I lived there and the streets I played in .....made me feel quite nostalgic...sad and pleased at the same time. How many others paused the vid and stared at their old haunts as a child. lol Absolutely brilliant to see, well done sir, for preserving those memories. I'm so pleased I clicked this.

The music you get when you ring the dole up ..

[@ssammut1966]

Isle of Man TT i rang Team Knowhow recently and they had this tune on, when the phone was finally answered i asked the guy who composed it.

[@kevinconnolly5710]

I'm not sure Mozart is quite appropriate for a video about Belfast in 1970. Tchaikovsky would have been my choice.

[@aland8295]

I was a porter in the Belgravia Hotel in 1969. The head porter was called Burton. It was around then coaches of tourists stopped and the troubles kicked off. One of my jobs was to check behind the curtains of the ground floor bay windows at night in case of fire bombs. The Richardson sisters ran it then.

[@HistoricAntrim]

The coach load of tourists have stopped again

Terrific footage!!

Thank you for the old film here-well done too!!

Miss playing in derelict Houses as kid , no derelict Houses these days !

[@stephensmith4480]

some of the architecture on those buildings is amazing. They must have been something when they were built.

[@ThatOneSandwichGuy]

While they look nice they certainly weren't great for large families back then as the interiors to houses like that are very cramped

[@paulbrowne5049]

@@ThatOneSandwichGuy the 3 storey houses with their high ceilings were quite spacious. Just lacking outside space.

[@paulbrowne5049]

Where was that hotel at 9:58 ? Looks impressive. Would love to know more about it. Anyone??

[@stephensmith4480]

@@paulbrowne5049 Paul, I think it was the Belgravia Hotel, which was situated on Ulsterville Avenue. It has been knocked down now I believe and there are apartments or flats on the site which were built in the mid 80s.

[@garydavid1788]

@@paulbrowne5049 late reply here. As Stephen Smith says, the Belgravia hotel. I think it was described as a ' private hotel'. Quite a few older permanent residents. I lived quite near in Eglantine Avenue in the 70s (oddly had a couple of smaller hotels also, can't think where their business came from!)

[@STRANGFORD1]

one of my teachers back60s, 70s, had grown up in one of those Georgian houses in Joy St, she was always telling us off for our bad manners, always on about etiquette, but one thing that had us all puzzled was how a man came round each morning to take away the night sand, only when I was very much older I learnt it was the emptied chamber pots!! There's one of the old houses in Wellington Place, left side below Queen St, grey, an interior designer's set up shop in it I asked if I could come in to take a look, it's a wow!! place, like the ones who have survived in Dublin

Forgot how bad housing was. Why were we so happy

[@RSimusic]

because you were young

[@meyou-gi8xq]

Cause housing was affordable back then.

i grew up in Lindsay street ,we never noticed how bad things were back then . Thankfully the district of Donegall Pass was completely modernised in the 80's .You'd pay a small fortune for all that Belfast brick . Great video Thanks

[@Scrutator2]

Looks ok, but it would be nice to know what we are looking at.

[@arfer]

I might subscribe if you described each part of the video

Great video but the background must is not Irish....

Joy street

[@Thomas828]

I don't know about Golden Memories. I grew up in an area of North Belfast not unlike this. For every house that was kept clean and respectable there was another that was in its final stages of decay. 9:34 And this was when a packet of cigarettes cost 46p.

[@belfastjack]

Me too was born there

Borne in Ballymena Street of oldpark road in 63, watched whole street get destroyed as we prods moved out spent at the rest of my childhood years in Southport st down the toad at the end only 10 houses were occupied out of roughly 80 i called it no man's land was an extremely violent interface !!!!!!
