I think the sketch Millfield 1971 was a derelict building
at the corner of Brown Street.

There used to be a shop facing West Street called Jimmy
Higgins, I think it was a general store but it was their
in about 1965 we used to get things on tick until payday
as most people did in those days.

You are 100% right on Carrols bar Geordy (see below
), it was right next door to my first place of work
in 1969 - McKelvey and Sinclairs timber.

Hello, Does anyone out there remember Clonard Confections
on 142 Falls Road owned by Mrs Ellen O'Hara? If so please
let me know. circa 1935. Thank you.

I remember at the bottom of Convention Street there was Annies
were my Aunt Mac used to work. We'd head up there to
get sweeties and hopefully she'd drop an extra one in
the bag, if Annie or Tommie wasn't watching. Never did
know if Annie & Tommy were a couple ?? Around the
corner was Todds at the bottom of Cable Street. Then
up a few doors from where we used to make sticks for
sale was Alec and Minnie Rutherfords, if I remember
right, where we would get my Da's Gallaghers Blues and
a loaf & cheese on the book until payday from Harlands.
I am sounding ancient now but the kids of today are
missing out on so much history and traditions. It was
a time I would never change.

Hello from Syracuse New York. There was a pub in the middle of Millfield,
almost facing West St, called Pat Carrols. It had an
off licence type front. The only shopfronts were in
that area almost facing West St on the left hand side
if you were going towards Mill St which was then the
lower part of Divis. I went to school at St Anthonys
Millfield and my Mother was from Francis St, Millfield.
Slan.
