23 nostalgic black and white photos taking you back in time to Northern Ireland in the early 20th century

The nostalgic images show horse-drawn trams making their way up a major shopping street, children paddling on the beach at a famous seaside resort, and the Titanic’s sister ship gliding out to sea for the first time.

They are some of the best photos taken around Northern Ireland between 1900 and 1949.

They range from the devastating aftermath of a Second World War bombing raid in 1942 to fishermen in a pretty coastal village discussing what to do about a glut of herrings in 1935.

Famous races of the era are shown too, including one for which sandbags have been installed outside shops to protect spectators from the cars whizzing round the streets.

What do you think of how Northern Ireland has changed over the last 100 years?
