1978: Redeveloping The Markets Area of Belfast | Ulster in Focus | BBC Archive

"An island haven, set in the very heart of the city." The Markets is a close-knit, working class area of Belfast, just a few minutes' walk from the city centre. It is one of the oldest residential and commercial parts of the city, and some parts are in dire need of renovation. Ulster in Focus follows the housing association's attempts to rebuild the area, while maintaining the distinctive character of the old Markets. Narrated by Bill Hunter. Clip taken from Ulster in Focus, originally broadcast on BBC One Northern Ireland, 23 February, 1978.
