  • The West Belfast Peace Wall or Peace Line runs for 5 kms dividing the Loyalist, Protestant community from the Catholic, Nationalist community. It begins at the lower Falls/Shankill and runs as far as Springmartin in the west of the city. We visit several interface gates in this video (Townsend Street, Northumberland Street, Lanark Way and Workman Avenue) as well as discussing the wall's origins in the Belfast civil unrest in 1969 - in that context we walk down the redeveloped Bombay Street, originally burnt down in riots at the start of the Troubles.
    A lot of work goes into these videos. You can now buy me a pint as a means of appreciation for my work on Naked Ireland, no obligation, obviously - only if you can afford it... I appreciate it. Cheers.
