1954 footage of Belfast, Divis, and countryside near Coleraine etc

Sorry if this has been posted already but I wanted to share this link to an archive BBC programme:

100 Years of BBC Northern Ireland, Ulster Mirror: Episode 1: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0024y77

It's really interesting – you can see the first work on the transmitter at Divis and (Gah!) removal of Belfast's tramlines. The demolition company is Eastwood, who I believe are still going today – if it's the same firm.

I must say there's definitely a feel of "a view of our colony" about this programme, which I am sure will animate some on this sub…

Be that as it may, the historical footage is just fascinating IMO.

There's also a programme from 1957 about Rathlin in the same iPlayer collection, which is really a great piece of TV.
