Another important collection within the BAP is the work of the very prolific John White. White was born in the Ballymacarrett/Short Strand district in 1930. Before his death in 1992, he captured the dramatic changes in this small industrial enclave of Belfast. His photography is notable for revealing the everyday lives and practices of those with whom he lived and worked. . . . . . . . . . #documentaryphotography #localheritage#archives#belfasthistory#localhistory #photoarchive#streetphotography#street_vision#love_belfast#streetizm#historicalphotos#documentbelfast#SandyRow
Klondyke Bar, 1974. Bill Kirk. . . . The Klondyke was built in 1872, and was one of many bars in the once busy area of Sandy Row. On 30 January 1976, only two years after Bill Kirk's coverage of the pub and its punters, the Provisional IRA exploded a car bomb outside the Klondyke Bar, killing a middle-aged civilian named John Smiley on the spot and costing the bartender, Vina Galaway, her eye. . . . #documentaryphotography #localheritage#archives#belfasthistory#localhistory #photoarchive#streetphotography#street_vision#love_belfast#streetizm#historicalphotos#documentbelfast#SandyRow
