Coming up on the anniversary of one of the fascinating #Twinbrook stories. Brookville United, a successful local #football team were attacked in a sectarian riot and bundled out of the Lisburn League. Appears to have been tied up in tensions around the Anglo-Irish agreement.

Stories will feature in the Stories on the Estate project. #IrishHistory #OralHistory #soccer #Ireland #NorthernIreland

✨ Northern Ireland Achievement Unlocked: Email the Orange Order ✨

I'm trying to learn more about the Upper Falls #Orange Hall that was located on the edge of Twinbrook estate. I know it was built mid C19th and was active in the 1950s and 1960s; was bombed in 1971, but the BelTel reported it suffered 'little damaged', and; closed by 1976 with the OO aiming active elements in the new #Twinbrook estate. Figured I'd go straight to the source 🤷
