This fascinating collection of over 200 old photographs sets out to show the reader the variety of South Belfast, from the grandeur of Queen's to the natural beauty of the Lagan Valley. The authors have looked at all aspects of life here, including the parks and the many sports teams, the churches and religious life, and how people lived and worked from day to day. Wartime Belfast is also featured, all the more poignantly now as we approach the centenary of the Great War. Recent decades and developments have brought many changes - some of the old nineteenth-century terraces will be more likely to house businesses than families, and many old landmarks will have disappeared - but this constant change is what makes the record of these times and events all the more important and valuable.

Castlebar derived its name from Barry's Castle (Castle Barry), which was located in the open square of the present Army Barracks, up until the time of "The Races of Castlebar" in 1798. Later on, the Bingham family, also known as Lord Lucan, became the dominant landlord. This bustling town is the capital of County Mayo, and was provided with its own courthouse, prison, famine workhouse, asylum, hospital, four different churches, convent, monastery, schools, airport, hat factory, bacon factory, healthcare factory, hotels, shops, and numerous businesses, and the author captures life in the area with a fascinating collection of images.
