do you remember Maggie Traceys shop  about halfway down Lonsdale Street on the left comming from Carlisle Circus? there was a big blitz site opposite

[DMW]

I  don't remember shop or the name do recall the blitz site.
The area has all been rebuilt like so many areas in Belfast.

Hi DMW,
This was his life story gwoeing up in the 30s'-40s' has all the old shops, streets and characters. It's a good read and trip dow memomery lane.
I don't have a the book as my cousin sent it to me and wanted it back. I scanned it and have it on a word file.
I could email it if you or any others want it.
I may try putting it into a PDF format but I dont think that would make a file any smaller.
