1969 Belfast Broken Damaged Deprivation Dingy Division Floor Riot Segregation Shabby Slum Slums Troubles
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the tumultuous events that unfolded in the Falls Road area of Belfast, Northern Ireland, during the late 1960s. The image portrays a damaged front door lying on the ground, its once pristine surface now marred by the chaos and destruction of a riot that had engulfed the streets. The door, which appears to belong to a house, is surrounded by a dingy and shabby environment, with peeling walls, broken windows, and debris scattered around. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the deep-rooted issues of segregation, division, and deprivation that plagued Northern Ireland during this period. The woman in the background, dressed in a simple frock and holding a shopping bag, adds a sense of human scale and tragedy to the scene. This photograph, taken in 1969, is a powerful testament to the troubled history of Belfast and the challenges that its people faced during the tumultuous 1960s.
