Commercial Office Rental Belfast
  • Standing on the east coast along the banks of the
    River Lagan, Belfast is the capital and largest
    city of Northern Ireland. It is the second
    largest city in Ireland and the 12th largest city
    in the UK.343,542 people called her home in
    2019.When Ireland was violently divided,
    particularly in the more recent conflict known as
    the Troubles, Belfast suffered immensely. Belfast
    was an important port in the early 19th century.
    It contributed significantly to Ireland's
    Industrial Revolution, briefly overtaking other
    countries as the world's top producer of linen.

  • "Linen polis" is a moniker. By the time it
    received town status in 1888, it was already an
    important center for  Irish linen production,
    tobacco processing  and rope making. The RMS
    Titanic was constructed at the world's largest
    shipyard, Harland and Wolff, which was also a
    major industry. A significant aerospace and
    missiles sector exists in Belfast as of 2019.
    Belfast is now Northern Ireland's largest
    metropolis as a result of industrialization and
    the inward migration it generated. Belfast became
    Northern Ireland's capital after the island of
    Ireland was divided in 1921. Belfast's prominence
    as a major industrial hub declined in the decades
    following World War II.
  • Belfast is still a port, and the Harland Wolff
    shipyard and other industrial and commercial
    docks dominate the Belfast Lough shoreline. It is

Name
  • The Irish Beal Fairest, subsequently spelled
    Commercial Office Rental Belfast Beal Fairest, is
    where Belfast gets its name. The word fairest is
    the genitive singular of fear rat and refers to a
    sandbar or tidal ford over a river's mouth. The
    word Beal means "mouth" or "mouth of the river".
    As a result, the name can be translated as
    "(river) mouth of the sandbar" or "(river) mouth
    of the ford". The sandbar was created at the
    meeting point of two riversthe Lagan, which
    empties into Belfast Lough, and its offshoot, the
    Donegalnear what is now Donegal Quay ("mouth of
    the Far set" might be an alternative
    interpretation) The original settlement grew up
    around this region, which became its center.

History
  • When Queen Victoria gave Commercial Office Rental
    Belfast city status in 1888, the city's county
    borough was established, and it continued to
    straddle County Antrim on the left bank of the
    Lagan and County Down on the right. 
  • Since the Bronze Age, people have lived on the
    Belfast site. The Giant's Ring, a hence dating
    back 5,000 years, lies close to the city, and the
    ruins of Iron Age hill forts may still be seen in
    the hills around. In the Middle Ages, Belfast
    remained a minor town of limited significance. In
    the late twelfth or early thirteenth century, the
    Normans may have constructed a castle on the
    location now encompassed by Donegal Place, Castle
    Place, Corn market, and Castle Lane, in the heart
    of what is now Belfast City Center.   But
    compared to the neighboring Carrick Fergus
    Castle, which was built at Carrick Fergus and was
    most likely completed in the late 1170s, the
    original "Belfast Castle" was considerably
    smaller and of far less strategic significance.

The industrial city
  • Landless Catholics from remote  Commercial Office
    Rental Belfast  rural and western areas were
    attracted by the nineteenth century's rapid
    industrial boom, and the majority of them settled
    to the west of the town.   Insecurity was a
    result of the easy access to inexpensive labor,
    which attracted English and Scottish money to
    Belfast. The once largely rural Orange Order
    found new life in the town thanks to Protestant
    workers' organizations to protect their access to
    jobs and homes. Movements to annul the Acts of
    Union (which came after the 1798 uprising) and to
    reestablish a Parliament in Dublin exacerbated
    sectarian tensions. It was commonly anticipated
    that this would have had Catholic interests and
    an overwhelming Catholic majority due to the
    progressive expansion of the British political
    franchise.

The Blitz and post-war redevelopment
  • WWII saw frequent bombings  Commercial Office
    Rental Belfast of Belfast. Initial raids were
    unexpected because it was thought that German
    bomber planes couldn't reach the city. German
    bombers murdered close to a thousand people in
    one raid in 1941, leaving tens of thousands
    homeless. This was the most death toll in a night
    attack during the Blitz, outside of London.
  • Two times above Belfast in the spring of 1942,
    the German Luftwaffe was visible. The Belfast
    Blitz also badly damaged or destroyed more than
    half of the city's housing stock, completely
    obliterated the ancient town center around High
    Street, and claimed over a thousand lives in
    addition to the shipyards and the Shorts Brothers
    aircraft factory.

The Troubles
  • The Catholic and Protestant populations
    Commercial Office Rental Belfast of Belfast have
    engaged in numerous instances of sectarian
    strife. Although they are also loosely referred
    to as "nationalist" and "unionist," the opposing
    factions in this struggle are today frequently
    referred to as republican and loyalist,
    respectively.   The Troubles, a civil conflict
    that raged from the late 1960s until 1998, was
    the most recent instance of this type of violence.

Governance
  • The vast "peace lines" (or "peace walls") that
    still divide loyalists from republican districts
    remain as a tangible reminder of the conflict.
    James VI and I gave Belfast borough status in
    1613, and Queen Victoria officially recognized
    Belfast as a city in 1888. It has been a local
    government district managed locally by Belfast
    City Council since 1973. Both the Northern
    Ireland Assembly and the British House of Commons
    have a representative from Belfast. Belfast was a
    part of the Northern Ireland constituency for
    European Parliament elections.
