Still in Belfast. The Europa Hotel today, and the same location in the early 1970's & the aftermath of one of many bomb attacks that it was on the receiving end of during the 'Troubles'

As a hobby historian...I love these pics.
Every picture tells a story...but these combinations of pictures really do tell a very vivid story.
Thanks for posting them

Great to see your enthusiasm to keep updating this topic and the others you started, fair play to you!
It was just the other day that I was revisiting some of your older ride reports that you created, making notes of places that I hope to visit when the weather improves to my liking.
I’m sure you want mine me following your trails, and hopefully enjoying the same experience.
