This is actually kind of fascinating – where is this?
You see this sometimes in Belfast when they’re renovating old shops, you’ll sometimes see the old fashioned 50s/60s signs buried underneath more modern ones like mini time capsules.
Loads of children from Chernobyl came to live here didn’t they? Maybe round Cushendall direction? Probably more.

Irvinestown branch.
We used to have groups of Chernobyl kids come over to stay in our village back in the 90’s.
Local families would host one or 2 for a week or that and they would all go out on big day trips and stuff.
