Old Belfast Characters: Rushlight: The Belfast Magazine

They are spending Billions of Pounds throwing up obscene buildings in an effort, as they see it, of changing the face of Belfast, when in reality they are tearing the heart and character out of Belfast, their architects, planners and speculators have done more damage to the character of Belfast than the 30 years of bombing, and they call it progress.?
And disappearing with that character of old Belfast are the characters of the people, never again will we know characters like I refer to here in this wee booklet, in some cases we can thank God.
