Belfast Peaceline. Cupar Way. Belfast - Belfast's own Berlin Wall

Cupar Way Belfast, was formerly known as First Street, this was the original address for centuries. It was situated between the staunchly Loyalist Shankil Road and the equally Republican Falls Road. Within this area of Indusrial West Belfast were to be found many Factories and Mills which employed people from both sides of the community. All these folk worked and lived in harmony within this area, until the onset of the troubles in August 1969, when fierce sectarian strife erupted in Belfast and throughout Northern Ireland. The Peacelines which have been erected were as direct result of the conflict.
