Belfast - McGurk's Bar Massacre

From a long term project in Belfast, Northern Ireland, documenting the Nationalist (Catholic) and Unionst (Protestant) communities of the Falls and Shankill areas. These two roads are a microcosm of the ‘Troubles’ in Northern Ireland, and run parallel to each other, divided by a large ‘Peace Line’.

Falls Area, Belfast, Northern Ireland

I just read the link on the 'Peace Lines' - thank you for the image and the links! Sorry to read that 'a study was released in 2012 indicating that 69% of residents believe that the peace walls are still necessary because of potential violence' :-(
