Ardoyne Village grew up in the townland of Edenderry, Edenderry is from the Irish Eaidan Doire meaning the brown of the hill at the oak grove, in the early 17th century Sir Arthur Chichester and Moses Hill of Hillsborough settled a lease of land in County Antrim which included Ardoyne, transcripts of the deeds dated 18th April 1606 are held in the public records office of Northern Ireland. I myself have lived in Ardoyne my whole life and im proud to say i'm a 6th generation Ardonian my ancesters have lived in Ardoyne since the 1800s. Cool video I just came across it by chance a few inaccuracies but not everyones perfect, the 'homeless' guy you videoed is not actually homeless he stands there having a drink everyday but goes home when he has too much lol
A really good read, really informative thanks for the insight, your family must be rich in history awesome, basically the whole line of your family have lived there seen it all been through it all?
@@softgreenfilms yes i've had family members who have fought, been jailed and died defending Ardoyne from Loyalist and British crown forces. The people of Ardoyne are very proud and protective of their district, we stand on the shoulders of giants.
I was drinking in the Crumlin Star club on the night of August 1981 when the hunger striker Tomas Mc Elwee died. I was a visitor from Galway but I had relations in Belfast so I was intrigued with these areas. Suddenly the air in Ardoyne changed and became charged with emotions. The women came out and started banging dustbin lids on the road..some locals advised me to get a taxi out of the area as they were going to be trouble that night. At least one person was shot dead. I got a taxi back into Shaftesbury Square that night and never told my relations where I had been. But I think Belfast is still a beautiful red-brick city in the shadow of Cavehill and the Black Mountain...and anytime I hear a helicopter hovering overhead it reminds me of Belfast during those tense times 🛡
That helicopter was more or less a constant feature over Ardoyne for the duration of the conflict, its inhabitants were little more than prisoners in an open air prison camp , with so-called security forces acting their jailers.
Go and film all the economic migrants in the south of Ireland. There actually leaving England and Scotland to go to the republic as brexit fecked their British honeymoon.
You are what all the other British auditors claim to be, but aren't. You are an " independent journalist ". Those little boys should pay attention to your videos.
The documentary introduction to community life in Ardoyne is completely misleading. It was never and isn't a place of high crime. It is an area that fought against British rule and violence was a form political resistance.
Captain Robert Nairac, was famously photographed in Brompton Park, Ardoyne, talking to locals, during a tour of duty there...shortly afterwards he vanished in South Armagh, on the night 🌙 of 15th May 1977...he was the great enigma of the conflict 🥀
Robert Nairac spent time in Dublin and Galway circa 1967...this was before he joined the Army and became folklore. He stayed in Spiddal, where many of the locals speak Irish. I think it sad that he can't be found and at least he could be buried with his family back in England. But he took extreme chances and forfeited his life. Maybe he had a death-wish. So many died during those days. Time makes ghosts of us all 💀🔔🌻
A bit of a loose cannon who seemed to set his own rules and people were never sure who he reported to. A lot of evidence that he was heavily involved with the Mid-Ulster UVF.
@@drinkingup2157 Yes you are correct, personally I believe he was the Brit Officer Alan Black heard that awful night during the Kingsmill massacre. I'm 100% sure he was there. You'll find false trails on the internet with people claiming he was in Scotland or whatever.
It would have been interesting if you walked up to the Loyalist Glenbryn estate. It's amazing how near it is to the National Ardoyne area ...Northern Ireland never ceases to amaze me with the proximity of these areas 🇮🇪🥁🇬🇧
It doesn't cease to amaze me there are huge walls separating the areas. In North and West London you have multi million aires with picasos in there house living directly opposite to council flats
The Troubles, also known as Na Trioblóidí in Irish, was a violent conflict in Northern Ireland that lasted from the late 1960s to the late 1990s. The conflict was primarily political and nationalistic, and was rooted in centuries of conflict between predominantly Catholic Ireland and mainly Protestant England. The conflict was centered around whether Northern Ireland would remain part of the United Kingdom or split away to reunite with the Republic of Ireland.
The person who passed you and said hello at the bottom of Brompton park, is actually the brother of one of those people killed on the memorial plaque that you read on Enta drive
Just stumbled across your video mate. I come from the newlodge area. It can be dodgy at times. Got a great history to the area to. I'll look forward to watching more of your content. Subscribed 👍🏻.
It's no longer prods and catholics we are being invaded by African muslim men who come across the Chanel then make their way to Northern Ireland, i know this is a fact because i know someone who works in Belfast city airport and between 50 and 60 arrive there daily
Was in Belfast last week, first time in a Decade and I couldn't believe the amount of Africans Muslims and Turks sat in shop doorways and wandering about the place.
there is really only two party's the dup and sf the ones who get voted in to power sharing every four years i don't like politics but i defo believe its a fix thanks for the comment.
You have the back of Cave Hill looking north, sloping to corrs glen then the hills of Ligoniel rising further to the west. Which in turn is the back of divis mountains further west south west. Ligoniel in close proximity to Belfast had the first coal mine. I found a map at a car boot in England circa 1870
I hike up cavehill, it's lovely up there and believe it or not you would get people wearing linfield or rangers tops like myself walking past people with celtic or gaa tops and we say how's it going too each other
Thanks for the comment appreciate it, yes that's no problem if you think its dangerous and deprived and needs to be seen then I'll do it keep a look out ill try and fit it in before Scotland.
The area is inhabited by generations of good, respectable families who were thrust into a war with the British armed forces and RUC/UVF/UDA with British govenment backing. This and many other districts were denied development and investment because of their resistance and were choked and ghettoised because they refused to bend a knee to their occupiers. Thank God we are all on a path to peace now and I am delighted to hear comments on how well Ardoyne looks. How far we have come in a few years from the warzone I grew up in, and a hello to all our Protestant neighbours who came through the same experience. PEACE IS GREAT!!
It has an interface by glenbryn and alliance. On up the Crumlin is mixed until wheatfield and ballysillan which is loyalist. At the other side deerpark is mixed and part of old park road again until ballysillan

@@facta-non-verba yea there were so much atrocities mostly the innocents suffered i must say the people were used for a political agenda
I agree that Belfast is a great city

Interesting video bro. Any chance you could do The Shankill Road and, it's surrounding areas?
of course i will thanks for watching keep a eye out for it ill give you a shout out
@@softgreenfilms y would u want to go to that shitehole
The whole area seems to have been redeveloped. It looks more like a suburb, than the old industrial district it once was.

Think about it
Fair boring,sorry I watched the red brick show and nothing else.
Yes it was mad down there back in the day but has been peaceful for years now apart from some skirmishes between the younger ones but nothing major
Pity about the clicking in the video. It was doing my head in.

The whole world already knows the story.
@@ChrisSmith-xh6ipI would contend that there is still some , dispute, pertaining to the narrative. @Sean-eg8gz is accurate.
Great place ardoyne went out with a girl from there ,come on the sky blues Wembley be off the rockers
thanks for the comment much appreciated, sky blues im sure it will be, if your going enjoy and keep safe.
Is the hole in the wall and the shamrock club still there?

Only 2 political parties, you need to do your homework
there is really only two party's the dup and sf the ones who get voted in to power sharing every four years i don't like politics but i defo believe its a fix thanks for the comment.
The sectarianism of which you speak, is of course, a British strategy, as opposed to an Irish malady.
This area is not dangerous unless you’re dealing drugs and other criminal deeds
What do you call the hills in the background
You have the back of Cave Hill looking north, sloping to corrs glen then the hills of Ligoniel rising further to the west. Which in turn is the back of divis mountains further west south west. Ligoniel in close proximity to Belfast had the first coal mine. I found a map at a car boot in England circa 1870

I’d happily walk through the Ardoyne anytime day or night. And have!
Do video of new lodge down the road from there
Thanks for the comment appreciate it, yes that's no problem if you think its dangerous and deprived and needs to be seen then I'll do it keep a look out ill try and fit it in before Scotland.

Love the visual but the captions are crap. Is the Ardoyne off the Crumlin Rd? Balfor.

Looks quite nice from what I'm seeing........
Hi bud do you go anywhere in N Ireland?

@@facta-non-verba that's how we are controlled with fear thanks for watching.
What are you talking about? Your not even from Northern Ireland are you? Your from Ireland aren't you? 🤔😏
This was fucking woeful 😂😂😂😂

Are you going to do west belfast
yes mate where would you suggest for west Belfast video.
@@softgreenfilms the lower falls divis
I love Ardoyne ❤
Most dangerous time in ardoyne was during the war/troubles. It’s not as dangerous as ur saying now. The bomb squad out for a kid lighting a sparkler.
Is Ardoyne surrounded by other mixed areas
It has an interface by glenbryn and alliance. On up the Crumlin is mixed until wheatfield and ballysillan which is loyalist. At the other side deerpark is mixed and part of old park road again until ballysillan
You should go we’re you are on the 112th of July m8
