Belfast Garage 1983
This was when Bill Hunt owned and ran the Belfast Shell garage in Christchurch. The family became as big as Belfast as locals made it the meeting place. It had an ice cream parlor which never before happened.
Belfast Region City Deal partner reception
Belfast Region City Deal partners are forging ahead with their efforts to secure £1bn co-investment from the UK government, regional government, local government and the universities, which will be added to by the private sector. The objective is to create up to 20,000 new and better jobs and to deliver a 10 year programme of inclusive economic growth.
Following months of intensive preparations, Belfast Region City Deal partners (Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council, Ards and North Down Borough Council, Belfast City Council, Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council, Mid and East Antrim Borough Council, Newry, Mourne and Down District Council, working in partnership with Queen’s University Belfast, Ulster University, the Further Education colleges across the Belfast Region and the NI Civil Service), with the support of all the political parties here, submitted their ambitious negotiating position to the NI Secretary of State and Westminster at the end of September 2018.
The partners hosted an event at Westminster on Wednesday 24 October 2018, attended by politicians, business people, and education representatives. It celebrated the genuine partnership and collaboration achieved through the City Deal process and outlined how the partners are creating real momentum to deliver a decade of significant investment to make the region a global investment destination and ensure that we make a positive difference to those living in our most deprived communities.
The Belfast Region City Deal focuses on accelerating inclusive economic growth in the industry areas where we’re experiencing most rapid growth and have the potential to become world leaders. Its four key investment pillars are: digital and innovation, infrastructure, tourism led regeneration and employability and skills.
In this short film, you’ll hear from BRCD spokesperson, Belfast Lord Mayor Cllr Deirdre Hargey, Belfast City Council Chief Executive Suzanne Wylie, Nigel Dodds MP, Owen Paterson MP and Leigh Meyer, MD Citigroup.

To Kill The Cabinet - Brighton Bomb Documentary - 1986
BBC News Special I produced and directed on the police investigation that led to the capture of Patrick Magee: the man responsible for the Brighton Bomb. On 12 October 1984, Magee made an audacious attempt to kill Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet by exploding a bomb at the Grand Hotel in Brighton during the Conservative Party Conference. The Prime Minister was unharmed but five people were killed in the attack and many more injured.
Broadcast on BBC1 in June 1986, around the time Magee and his accomplices were convicted of the Brighton Bomb and plotting another IRA mainland bombing campaign in 1985 when they were captured at a hideout in Glasgow in June of that year.

Ballygally Castle Hotel with its Haunted Rooms - NI
This haunted hotel is possibly one of the most haunted places in the world or at least in UK and it has a very scary story - this part of the hotel is closed to guests staying - but you can visit the tower where the ghost room is and see how the story unfolded. The haunted building has not been touched in the recent upgrades of the hotel - leaving the ghost room as it was.
The haunted hotel is an attraction for ghost hunters and guests have told of ghost screams. The hotel itself is in a beautiful sea side location and it is a fabulous hotel - thankfully the haunted room is slightly separated from the rest of the hotel. You have to go up a round tower to the top and into the tiny rooms and you get a feeling for what it was like to be locked in there. If tempted - do check out this Haunted Hotel in the UK (Ballygally just outside Belfast - Northern Ireland).
For those who might not be well aware of Ballygally Hotel - of the Haunted Hotel as it might be referred to - it is an old castle that has been turned to a hotel and is located in the village of Ballygally in county Antrim, Northern Ireland, and even though it is more known as a hotel, people still visit it - or the tower - in order to check those haunted rooms which are found there and which are separated from the hotel itself.
There are different things that make this castle a different experience - that's of course apart from experiencing the feeling of the ghosts :-) - such as its location; Ballygally Castle overlooks the sea on the Ballygally Bay. The castle is strongly Scots influenced in style featuring corbelled cylindrical tourelles with conical roofs on top. The castle was built with high walls, steep roof, dormer windows and corner turrets; the walls are five feet thick with loopholes for muskets and a water stream used to ran through the outer hall to provide water in the case of siege.
This is one of the different and rare experiences that we have been through while visiting a castle or a hotel, but actually a lot of people agree on the fact that it is one place which they love to visit for the idea of being referred to as haunted and for the fact that the visit paid for it is actually different - not just an old thing to watch and go through.
Since it is now used as a hotel, the Ballygally Castle is one of the oldest 17th century buildings in Northern Ireland that is still used until these days as a residence and is also believed to be one of the best haunted places in Ulster.
The Haunted Castle; a lot of people are asking why it has been given that name. Being considered a haunted place goes back to the ghosts which are believed to be living in the place with the most active of them all is known as Lady Isobel Shaw who used to knock on the doors of the rooms and disappear - yes, it would be scary to be staying at a room like that - this lady was reported to die after throwing herself from the window when her husband locked her in the room and left her starving. Another famous ghost in this castle is called Madame Nixon who used to live in the castle in the 19th century and who could be heard walking around the place in her silk dress.
The question we keep asking ourselves is is it possible that people could think about booking a room in this hotel or castle if they know that it is known as the haunted hotel and is believed to have ghosts living in it? and we never knew whether the answer would end up being a yes or else will be a no.
There are different stories reported about this hotel which are related to guests seeing ghosts or feeling them and running to the lobby in fright and those which are related to finding rooms in a mess after getting them prepared for guests. The most important thing to mention and the one thing we consider the most important is the small room in the corner turret of the castle which is known as the Ghost Room and which is closed and not part of the hotel.
It is interesting to get to this castle - or hotel - and reach the room through this tower to see those pictures and stories written on the wall about the history of the place when it comes to those stories related to the ghosts, but we didn't try to sleep in the hotel to tell you about any other kind of experience there!
There are other different trips we have made to Ballygally before which will be considered close to the Ballygally Hotel - the Haunted Hotel - which include the Ballygally and Ballintoy trip ( We have also visited this hotel before to check one of the doors that appeared in the Game of Thrones movie ( and we also enjoyed the Ballygally Beach which is near the castle (
Are you up to such an experience with some ghosts in it?

Belvoir Park Belfast - One of the Parks in Belfast City
Belvoir Park Belfast - The Forest in the City. Have you ever been there?
Belvoir Park Belfast is located near the city of Belfast, the Belvoir Park Forest is rife with wildlife, including Large Bracket Fungi and flowering plants, such as the Giant Hogweed, as well as birds such as the Long-eared Owls, and mammals such as the red squirrels.
Managed by the Forest Service, Belvoir Park Forest walks within the forest link to the Lagan River 'Towpath' and the Lagan Valley Regional Park (
It is close to Belvoir Park Golf Club, Belvoir Park Hospital and Forestside Shopping Centre and it is open to visitors 24 hours a day.
Interesting Landmarks
• Belvoir Motte
The Belvoir motte dates back to the Norman era when John de Courcy invaded Ulster and established settlements at Dundrum and Carrickfergus. The motes were set up as defense against the southern approaches to Carrickfergus.
• Woodland
The Belvoir Park Forest is home to almost thirty-five species of birds, including common resident species, such as blackbird, song thrush, robin and woodpigeon and more unusual species such as jay and long-eared owl.
• Medieval Graveyard
A private graveyard is located within the Park and has been in there since the 14th century. Currently, it holds the empty tomb of the Dungannon family.
• Arboretum
The previous estate owners, the Dungannons and Batesons, planted many trees in park. Thanks to them, there are now numerous mature specimens of trees, such as redwood and cedar.
History of Belvoir Park Belfast
The Hill family settled at Belvoir in the early 18th century and built a large house that stood on the site of the current car park. In the 19th century, the Hill family sold the estate to the Batesons, whose son became Lord Deramore in 1885. The Deramores returned to England at the end of the 19th century and leased the estate to Walter H Wilson, a partner with Harland and Wolff. The last private tenant at Belvoir was Sir James Johnston, who was the Lord Mayor of Belfast in 1917-18.
“Belvoir’s trees are living landmarks, home to thousands of species of plants and animals, yet sadly lacking the recognition they deserve”, says Nikki Williams, Ancient Tree Hunt project manager. She also adds that “anyone can visit the web site and add their discoveries. Identifying their whereabouts is an important first step in securing their future - both for the benefit of wildlife and for the enjoyment of generations to come... We want to give as many people as possible in Northern Ireland the chance to get to grips with our remarkable old trees, and Belvoir Park Forest provides the perfect venue. With its extensive parkland and woodland, Belvoir is home to an impressive number of veteran trees which have seen centuries come and go. This event is brimming with activity. It’s a chance to learn how to identify and record our ancient trees, and it’s also an opportunity to simply enjoy the beauty of woodland. We have a creative agenda in store for kids as well, so there’s something for all the family.”
Definitely worth visiting Belvoir Forest - there are not too many forests of this size and diversity in Belfast.
Nearby Attractions
• Space CRAFT
Space CRAFT is a shop, gallery and exhibition area owned and managed by the Craft and Design Collective that sells products made by locals.
• Northern Ireland War Memorial
The exhibition features WWII memorials by shedding light on the Home Front, the Belfast blitz of 1941 and the presence of US forces from 1942 to 1944.
The museum showcases a variety of historical objects, including uniforms, photographs and oral histories, as well as the names of the 1100 men, women and children who lost their lives in the Belfast blitz.
There are various original artworks on display; a stained glass memorial window by Stanley Murray Scott, a copper frieze commemorating the vital war industries in N.Ireland, an original portrait of James Magennis VC and a bronze sculpture by John Sherlock.
These different Belfast attractions come in addition to the parks that are found in the city and which prove that Northern Ireland is one of those countries around the world that enjoy a greenery space and thus welcomes tourists to it. Those parks which we could mention some of them now include the Botanic Gardens in Belfast ( Ormeau Park ( Victoria Park ( Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park ( and many others found in Northern Ireland as well.
Belfast parks are numerous, you just have to know which one is the closest to your location and choose to go and visit it, otherwise you will spend your vacation in Belfast visiting parks.

Hotel ghost investigation
Great place very spooky the team heard a woman or child's voice..knocks and bangs was great to spend the night here
Clandeyboye O'Neill Inauguration Stone Chair Ulster Museum
We are in the Saints and Scholars section of the Ulster Museum Belfast. This section contains a lot of medieval Irish history/antiquities.
We are here to find and film the ancient Clandeboye O'Neill inauguration Stone chair made from one complete piece of sandstone that probably was originaly quarried from near Cultra Bangor. I believe that this special 'crowning' chair was dug out of the field in 1750 at Castlreagh where we believe that Con O'Neill's Grey Castle stronghold fort/castle was sited. The chair itself is lob-sided and doesn't look very comfortable but it does remain unlike the Tyrone O'Neill 'chair' from Tullaghoge which was smashed up in 1605 by Lord Mountjoy. This curious but very special chair would have held great symbolic resonance to people of the time.
'The Clandeboye O'Neills were a branch of the O'Neills of Tyrone who settled in south Antrim and north Down in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries in what had been the Anglo-Norman earldom of Ulster. The name Clandeboye, or Clann Aodh Buide, refers to their descent from Aodh Buidhe, or Hugh the Yellow-Haired, who died in 1283. Their chair may have been modelled on that at Tullaghogue, on which the O'Neills of Tyrone were inaugurated, and is the only surviving example of its kind. The Clandeboye O'Neills lost their independence with the rest of Gaelic Ulster as a result of the Nine Year's war. But the family survived, and in 1680 Cormac mac Airt Oig O'Neill sponsored the compilation of Leabhar Cloinne Aodha Buidhe, the Book of Clandeboye, a manuscript collection of O'Neill genealogies and praise poems.'
'Con O'Neill, head of the Clandeboye O'Neills, is a fascinating character. He was the last of the great clan to own the massive areas of Upper Clandeboye, Lower Clandeboye and the Great Ards - which stretched from almost Ballymena to Killyleagh and included the whole of north Down and the Ards Peninsula.
Con's lifetime saw the end of old medieval Anglo/Irish Ireland and the emergence of a new modern Ulster with Scotland at the centre of Ulster's development. During his latter years Con moved from his grand castle of Castle Reagh to Ballylenaghan / Knockbracken (around 1608), and then to the lower tip of the Ards Peninsula to the remote townland of Tullycarnan (around 1616). Con died around 1618, and was said to have been buried at the old church of Knockcolumbkille, which was situated in what is now Glenmachan or Garnerville in east Belfast.
Con O'Neill bridge and the Connswater Greenway
Around 1606 when anything that's useful began, Ballyhackamore was acquired by Sir James Hamilton from Con O'Neill. As was Ballymacarrett. The maps which Thomas Raven drew for Hamilton, for both places and many more, are held at North Down Museum. Slightly south, the townland of Ballyrushboy was given by Con O'Neill to Thomas Montgomery, the man who had carried out Con's dramatic jailbreak from Carrickfergus. And slightly further south again, up in the hills that overlook east Belfast, was Con's home castle of Castle Reagh. The castle is long gone now, but the Presbyterian church (first built in 1650) is said to be pretty close to where the castle once was. Today all of this area is urban East Belfast, packed with rows of houses, shops, small businesses, schools, churches and factories. However, not all of the history has gone. Along the Beersbridge Road, tucked in between Elmgrove Primary School and the local Elim Pentecostal Church, still stands Con O'Neill's bridge.
If you do a search on this blog for Con O'Neill you'll find out lots about him, which I'll not repeat here. He gave the river, Connswater its name (which of course is a common Scottish naming form for rivers, ie Conn's Water), which centuries later (1984 to be precise) became the name of the main local shopping centre (or 'mall' for US readers!). Notes on con O' Neill are lifted from the Mark Thompson Blog ( )
1970s Northern Ireland | Suffolk bacon factory | Belfast drawing the line | This week |1976
An extract from a 'This Week' on housing in Belfast.
But Belfast is also Britain’s worst—housed City: 50% of its population lives in what the government defines as sub—standard accommodation. The housing is worst in the over—crowded Catholic areas, where there is simply no room for new houses. Any attempt to relieve the crisis comes up sharply against the fierce facts of the sectarian divide.
Reporter:Peter Taylor looks at how the closure of the Suffolk bacon factory will affect the local communities.

The Troubles In Ireland
Belfast, Northern Ireland, August 14, 1984
The Truth About the Masonic Lodge
The Masons, aka Shriners aka Freemasons.
Are they a harmless bunch of old guys on mini-bikes in fez hats who run hospitals? Not quite. In this video, Patrick Coffin gives a quick history of the Masonic Lodge, what they believe, and why Catholics cannot participate in their occultic organization.
Modern Freemasonry started in 1717 in England during the dawn of the Enlightenment. It’s a hodgepodge of new age Rosicrucianism, astrology, theosophy, and traditions of cultic groups such as the Druids, Mithars, Egyptian priesthood.
Freemasonry also involves the taking of occultic oaths, keeping the truth of Freemasonry a secret, indifferentism, and the subversion of the Church and the state. Members also open themselves to gruesome deaths if they reveal the inner secrets of “the Lodge.”
Popes since Clement XII in 1738 have said the same thing: Catholics cannot be Masons.
A Look Round Glenview Hotel & Leisure Club Co Wicklow
This is the Glenview Hotel & Leisure Club, Glen of the Downs, Delgany Co Wicklow.

There is a wealth of activities on the hotel's doorstep. Golfing, Family Attractions, Cultural, Heritage & Gardens.
We visited Powerscourt Estate and Waterfall, which were just up the road.
Out the front door of the hotel is a short woodland walk and extensive garden area with seating. This hotel is close to Dublin but away from all the noise and congestion. It has an idyllic woodlandsetting. It is another hidden gem.
Carnmoney Hill - Great Views Over Newtownabbey & Belfast
Hill walking on Carnmoney Hill - a nice walk up and around Newtownabbey, Co. Antrim. A nice walk near Belfast that is pretty quiet. If you fancy a short walk somewhere new - worth checking out this mini hill walk just off the Doagh Road in Newtownabbey (
Carnmoney Hill is a green oasis in an urban area which is rich in both history and wildlife. We choose to walk around the place in order to explore more of it but in addition to the gentle stroll around the foot of Carnmoney Hill which is a lower woodland walk and which would take maximum 30 mins, one could also choose the hilltop walk which is a little bit longer and which could last for almost one hour.
Carnmoney Hill rises 232 meters above Newtownabbey which means that it could be seen from County Down, Belfast Lough, and some motorways in Belfast. The eastern side of the hill is mainly covered by ancient woodland with semi-natural grasslands and other habitats interspersed and the top of the hill has a volcanic tap yet the slopes are mainly of limestone and flint, joining mudstones at the coastel belt below.
There are three different routes which one could choose to take while visiting the Carnmoney Hill and deciding to go for a walk; these are the red, the yellow, as well as the blue. The red route is considered the shortest one of them, the yellow is the one in the middle, while the blue is the longest - so it will always depend on how much you could resist and how much time you want to spend - keeping in mind that the blue route is considered the longest yet it is the one which will bring people to the view which they came to enjoy in the first place. If you are not getting the picture of it all and don't actually know which route is considered the best for you, you will find a map right there at the beginning which will provide you with all the details which you might be searching for.
While walking through the hill, you will come across different historical ruins which we are not sure about what they were - since there weren't any written descriptions to tell us - we came across a chimney like building at the beginning of the trip and we also came across ruins that appeared to us like an old house - it was good to see that history took its place on this hill as well but it was bad because we failed to know more about what these ruins were.
This is definitely a place which we would recommend for all those who are searching for new places where they could walk, enjoy the greenery of the place, sit within all these green areas, as well as get the chance to face different beautiful scenery looking down the city - just take care while climbing up there because it is not as easy as you think but you will get the chance to take your breath in the middle by sitting on the benches that are found there and at the same time you could also choose the shortest route out of those three offered to you - it is worth it, believe us.
If you are still thinking about other places and options to go for in Newtownabbey then there are those which we visited and could recommend and share our experience at. In Newtownabbey, one could visit Antrim Castle Gardens ( Lough Shore Park in Antrim ( and Hazelbank in Newtownabbey ( those are the ones we have been to before and the ones which we would definitely recommend to those fans following us.
Belfast, Northern Ireland, in general hosts lots of places and attractions that one could visit and check and since it is the capital city, lots of tourists tend to visit it and check its historical as well as modern places. Those attractions in Belfast which one could check include Ulster Museum ( Titanic Museum ( Narnia & CS Lewis Square ( the Peace Wall ( Victoria Park ( Stormont Parliament ( City Hall ( St. Anne's Cathedral ( the Milltown Cemetery ( Ormeau Park ( the Crumlin Road Gaol ( as well as other different destinations and even events which might be more related to specific times of the year; Christmas, Spring, etc.
Carnmoney Hill should definitely be the place to go for when it comes to walking a little bit, enjoying some green spaces, as well as receiving a breathtaking view at the end of the road.
