This rebuilt Loyalist tavern on the corner of the Shankill and Cambrai roads was the site of a Republican shooting and bombing attack on Grand National Day (5 April) 1975 in which five people lost their lives and 60 others were injured. The getaway car used in the attack was found abandoned in the nearby Nationalist Springfield area.
