My Grannys brother is in this clip Nortonville Snooker club RIP Cha Morrison.The guy in the pictuire might be one of the McMullan boys possibly Geordie? gr8 Memories of the markets & my old school St.Colmans.....Seany Moore...............
Loved this video, & the nusic was great also. Bill in the USA transplanted from Belfast. Thank's a bunch. Does anyone remember McQiuston school on the Denegall Pass and Bunting's fancy box makers?
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.
Micky's roundabout was ace back in the 80's. Is irwin217 the same irwin born in 79/80? Paul was it? St Colmans/St Malachys were best days of my life. You didn't have any pics of Daltons shop!
In the first school picture that's Mr. Smith, my old teacher and I think that it's me on the front row second from the right.ie Bob Murphy. Ps, my mother, Kathleen's maiden name was Irwin lol.
@@irwin2t7 Not as far as I know John, My name then was just Bob Murphy and my gran lived at no 16 Murphy Street, my grandad was Robins who I was named after and when I was little he worked from home as a shoemaker then later as a Baker. My uncle owned the pet shop at the top of Cromac Street. I still have a brother Bill and 3 sisters living in Belfast But I moved to Wales in 74.
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 ????
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.
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 .
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!
Beautiful
proud to say my late mother was from the Markets Peggy Carey 42 little may street .... rip sweet mum
