Belfast Streets - 1970's 

Amongst those streets visited are Joy Street, Riley's Court, Maryville Street, the Gas Works, Victoria Street, Chamber's Street, Charleville Court, Lisburn Road, Balmoral, and the Belgravia Hotel.

Brilliant. Almost brought a tear to my eye watching this. Born and bred in Belfast. Thanks for posting

I think I recognise 'Paddy's Palace' on the Lisburn Road. It's a Hostel now, and where I stayed on my last visit recently. A great location, as it's a straightforward walk down to the City and the Bus Station. Wonderful to see so many visitors, and new projects coming on stream. Long may peace reign in our hearts, and on our streets.

We really loved in poverty back then.We didn't starve. Housing was bad. Outside toilets. This wouldn't be allowed now days. Rats in the homes. Really was a ghetto. But as a young child that was the way off life. We went from a good 4 bedroomed house to a two up and two down . It was a shock. But back them neighbours were great. Everyone knew each other. Watched out for each other. But I would love to go back to the 70s.

Great wee video. The memories came flooding back... I've been away for far too long...

Never stop missing my old town no matter how long ive been away thankyou very much for sharing this amazing footage

Stunning Georgian and early Victorian architecture.

Me too but great childhood memories...neighbours looked out for each other .n shared everything when needed .xxx ❤

Wow, some of those houses are so beautifully designed.

such well built houses, here in London the same houses today would sell for millions, sadly many of those houses gone forever and today new houses have thin walls and little space, communitys where then put into the sky, high rise flats was the end of real community and here in London they have gone back to high rise big time, its sad in many ways as people dont want to know there neighbour, but its needed now as just little space left for houses.

Abdolutely superb compilation. Thanks so much. I enjoyed this immensely. Much of the Lisburn Rd's architecture unchanged.

I'm from Meath and this really brought a tear 😢 to my eye's, we hadn't much either, the outside toilet and no running hot water until the end of the late 70s or even early 80s but knew no difference, unlike they poor folks of Belfast and Northern Ireland who had The Troubles.😢😢

New every place in this footage played and walked the very footsteps 60s 70s great memories james casement a big thanks to the people who put these old clips on

Electric is all go now I watched the trolley busses go and tram lines before ĺeaving 64 we left loved going back lots of times miss Ulster ❤️

It was redevolpment caused houses to be bricked up as they were rehoused in new devolpement that made it look very run down ... ❤

A very poignant video. I loved looking at the old streets and cars. I remember many well. Thank you.

I was just in belfast for 4 months. I saw a lot of unused buildings.

All those bricked up houses, back in the day nothing out of the ordinary

There is something in those old buildings and architecture that you can't see it in modern buildings. They have spirit and they talk to us if you listen closely. I'm not from UK or Belfast but I always loved that city. Hope one day I can visit and see those streets. Can someone tell me the name of first song or the singer?

Great time's we all had nothing but lived well. 👌

Brilliant Lee

a then and now video would be great.

This is my ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🍀🍀🍀🍀☘️my home city had wonderful child hood and happy times🙏🙏🙏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

8:39 extraordinary… that must be the lights at Villa Italia!

Great , wee video , brought back tons of memories , from my childhood an Belfast , before My Parents took me to Canada to live in March of 77. Cheers , thank you for sharing. Stay safe .

The film focus more on the red brick up close rather than panning streets, a shame in my opinion.

Got me here because of the movie. lovely place :)

Ahh..... remember Control Zones?

later than 1970 - late 70s - early 80s

It's like an advertisement for Homes Under The Hammer, if it was done in the 70's

Remember playing in derelict houses as a child , there all gone landlords scooped em all up !!

The pic in the thumbnail of the video is bottom of Whiterock Rd, west Belfast but it doesn’t show it in the actual video.

This video is showing the good side of belfasf. But belfast wasn't like this all over. Like I said there were lots of ghettos.

Why were so many windows bricked up ? Was this due to the ' troubles ' ?

please indentify the music tracks?

What's the songs?

What is the 1st song?

whats the building at 10:00 , its spectacular.

Anyone know the location of the steps at 9:30?

Nurse Carlon's house Joy Street 👩‍⚕👍

Donegall pass lots of the streets.

This is pre 1968, as there are trolleybuses

Law & Order.

Unfortunately so many of these houses rose-tintedly described as “beautiful” were slums, even in such recent times. However, having said that Belfast has, since this was filmed, had its heart torn out, like most if not all uk cities in the name of progress. It kept its soul longer than some just due to its political situation, and both the English and Irish governments disinterest in investing in what is a wonderful country. But the Tories bringing an end to Social housing saw to that anyway, making inner cities the preserve of the rich, not the working classes.

Is mafia city any good?

Oscail do shúile agus inis dom cad a fheiceann tú... such a great video...

Basically a depressing video of some zoomed in brick work and shite music

2021 welcome multiculturalism to Belfast.

Terrible song
