Coming up on the anniversary of one of the fascinating stories. Brookville United, a successful local 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.

I'm trying to learn more about the Upper Falls 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 estate. Figured I'd go straight to the source 🤷
