Linen Biennale NI

@vmillar2018 @ufm_cultra that's what they are - boot scrapers! Still lots around east belfast and I always wondered

Love these photos of Belfast street lamps from @ufm_cultra's photographic archive, taken in Clementine Street in 1962. Note the built in boot scrapers at the front doors of the houses! 🥾

Catch us and @NIScreen next week at @LinenQuarterBID 's Re[ACT] Festival for a Sustainable Belfast. We will be looking linen's legacy, past and present. reactfestival.co.uk/events/reactin…

Just spotted a great little feature in @BelfastLive belfastlive.co.uk/news/history/g…
