There is now a mural in Stanhope Street of “Carrick Hill in the old days”, of two women talking in the street, to complement the four printed boards.
Below are two of the fifteen boards around the corner in Regent Street, showing the Carrick Castle public house and the old Unity flats.
Other boards in the collection (not shown) show street games, street parties, and Alton United football club, a team founded in 1921 that played in the Falls League and won the 1923 Free State Cup Final (Bohs Sporting Life).
(All of the fifteen boards in Regent Street can be seen in the Paddy Duffy collection.)
Stanhope Street and Regent Street, Carrick Hill, west Belfast.
