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'

Re: Northern Ireland then & now
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

Early 1940's & a line up of new Churchill tanks (I think) built by Harland & Wolff, Belfast ready to be dispatched for service.
Only street furniture remaining today is the distinctive gate post

Re: Northern Ireland then & now
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.
