Murals of The Troubles A Walk Through New Lodge Road

Step into one of the most historically charged and controversial intersections in Belfast — the meeting point of the New Lodge Road and Antrim Road. Once described as statistically one of the most dangerous places during the Troubles, this area sits between communities divided by history, memory, and violence. In this early morning walk through the New Lodge, we explore powerful murals, memorials, and the haunting legacy of the New Lodge Six, shot dead in February 1973. From towering flats once used as British Army observation posts to hunger strike tributes bearing the names of Bobby Sands and Francis Hughes, every wall here tells a story. This is not just a walk through Belfast — it’s a walk through living history. A place where the past still echoes in paint, stone, and silence. What really happened here in 1973? Why was this junction considered so deadly? And how do these murals shape memory today? Watch to discover the stories behind one of Belfast’s most complex and misunderstood areas. #Belfast #TheTroubles #NewLodge #NorthernIrelandHistory #IrishHistory #BelfastMurals #IRAHistory #HungerStrikes #ConflictHistory #DarkTourism #IrishRepublican #UlsterHistory #WalkingTour #HistoryDocumentary
