BelfastEntries

BelfastEntries aims to uncover engaging and little-known stories usually ignored in the history books. The history books tell the big stories - we'll leave them to it. Instead we will look at the smaller stories that impacted the everyday lives of our ancestors, our towns & villages and the famous and forgotten folk who tried to help those in need. Hopefully the posts will be of interest to all readers, home and abroad as we learn and share information on our past..
