My mother was from the Markets. The family owned a barbers shop on Cromac St sadly demolished now. I watched the video in the hope that there wouldve been a picture of the shop and also a picture of the convent primary school Sussex place where I recieved my early education. Otherwise not a bad video.

[@bruceburns1672]

Looking at the conditions that people lived in in Belfast , to me it incomprehensible why they didn't migrate wholesale to other commonwealth countries where the people lived in peace and on the fat of the land , why did they stay ????

[@minanes6549]

Many people did migrate. The Northern Irish are a fairly significant presence across the world, as well as in commonwealth countries. Also, even in those days one still needed money for the journey, as well as to provide for accommodation and living expenses once in the new land. The £10 tickets to Australia were a long way off back then. And then there is also the simple reality that some people needed and wanted to stay with their families, loved ones and friends, which I grant you will seem a strange attitude according to some ways of thinking. Finally, poverty was 'normal' for a lot of folks. Lack of social mobility and economic opportunities would've ensured that many folks would've stayed in their inherited stations of life.

[@bruceburns1672]

They have also been people that have caused serious social and political problems wherever they migrated too , they have been nothing but a pain in the Arse in Australia and are the principal reason we now live in a Neo Marxist Nanny State , and at every opportunity have torn down or still attempting to tear down time proven institutions set up by the original Brits , but that's the Irish there is only one way and that is the Irish way ,always to the extremes , their mentality has infiltrated the Labour Party with the suffering little Potato Diggers and everything should revolve around the bottom 5% of the community .

[@minanes6549]

Bruce Burns I love the English. Lived there a long time. But there is still that old problem of convenient amnesia, as to why the Irish created problems. It's not entirely strange that a brutally repressed nation should hit back occasionally, at its uninvited foreign 'masters'. And of course Ireland and Northern Ireland are, together, a complex mixture of British/Scots/Irish and Anglo heritage. Indeed, England's population is a much more complex mixture of far wider heritages, despite the xenophobic denials. It seems England will never forgive us for being murderously conquered and then having the gall to compel us to build her roads, railways, canals, towns, cities and form the cheap labour force upon which much of her economic wealth depended. Such short memories!

why dont you show your face creep from the deep, history is history, go read a few books, never read such bullshit.
