    Correct me if I'm wrong but this looks like Currie Street which runs of Irwin Street in the Pound Loney. The houses on the other side of the wall where the gate is are in Albert Street.

    Great vid, as a wee lad I lived in Carrick til I was 16, as you can imagine I knew every inch of the place castle included, every orchard, every tree to climb, every ditch to jump and wall to climb. Before the troubles started and ruined the place. 5years ago I payed a visit and couldn't belive my eyes how badly run down the town as got, the castle used to be full of wonderful medieval suits of armour, pikes spears, swords, shelds, etc etc and all manner of beautiful things. Sadly someone in their wisdom has taken them away. Can someone please explane why and where they are now? Surely they would be a hugh asset to a run down town in need of development and ecploited. No where else in Britain would this have been allowed to happen. Thank you for a great vid, and if anyone can shed any light on this matter I would love to hear it. Regards to all in carrickfergus.

    certainly interesting, far from nostalgic, destitute people living in hovels, two bedroom shanties, kids head to toe in bed , no electric, gas mantles if you were lucky if not a candle. I was brought up in one. John do away with the twee music, Belfast was a shithole and the Government only came around when there was a shortage of cannon fodder.

    My grand father told me stories of walking to work in the mill in his bear feet in the snow , he was just a boy . Everyone was poor, it didn’t mater if if you were catholic or Protestant. People just trying to put food on the table get work and look after their families. I’m so proud to be from Belfast . Thanks for these memories.

After being caught out myself a few times, particularly by words that are spelled differently depending on what you’re referring to, I stick the sentence into google to get the correct spelling, if I’m unsure.
