Belfast trolleybuses on Falls Road - 1968
A slow moving funeral cortege on its way to the City Cemetery has caused real problems for the bus service, with 7 vehicles now all bunched together. This must have been a regular headache for the City Transport department in attempting to maintain scheduled services. The view was taken during the last weeks of operation of trolleybuses in Belfast.
This section of Falls Road has changed beyond recognition, and indeed the only building visible here which still remains is the distant Divis Tower. On the right new housing has been developed, and on the left the industrial buildings have been replaced by a leisure centre and the Twin Spires complex.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761

Saoirse / Freedom
This printed tarp on the side of the Falls Road Library Image commemorates the ten 1981 hunger strikers (along with Frank Stagg, Michael Gaughan, Nora Connolly, and Mairead Farrell, paired with international figures Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Leonard Peltier, and Nelson Mandela) and features a poem by Bobby Sands:
“All things must come to pass as one
So hope should never die
There is no height or bloody might
That a freeman can’t defy.
There is no source or foreign force
Can break one man who knows,
That his free will no thing can kill
And from that freedom grows.”
