EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland, circa 1880. The focal point of the image is the iconic York Street Mill, a testament to the city's industrial prowess during the 19th century. Originally founded by Alexander Mullholland as a cotton mill, this historic landmark faced adversity when it was tragically consumed by fire in 1828. However, rising from its ashes like a phoenix, the mill was rebuilt and transformed into a flax mill. This remarkable resilience showcases both Belfast's determination and adaptability in an era marked by rapid industrialization and technological advancements. The scene captured here exudes an air of industriousness and progress. The towering structure stands tall amidst a vibrant cityscape that reflects the United Kingdom's textile revolution at its peak. Spinning wheels can be seen dotting nearby streets while workers bustle about their daily tasks. Beyond being merely an architectural marvel or symbol of industry, York Street Mill represents more than just bricks and mortar; it embodies the spirit of innovation that defined Belfast during this transformative period. It serves as a reminder of how one man's vision laid down foundations for generations to come. Published in "Cities Of The World" around 1893, this photograph immortalizes not only an important piece of history but also pays homage to those who contributed to Belfast's rise as an industrial powerhouse. Ken Welsh has masterfully captured this snapshot from yesteryears with his keen eye for detail and historical
