Here’s an incredible photograph of Belfast Castle, taken on the 30th of January1934, it gives you a view of a man walking with dog and shotgun. We’d imagine he’s possibly a game warden or park ranger for the Belfast Castle estate. Ain’t that a great snapshot of time folks.

🫶🏻Today Belfast Castle had the privilege of welcoming Alistair and Patricia.

63 years ago, on 15 August 1961 Alistair and Patricia celebrated their very special wedding day with us.

Currently residing in Ballyclare, Alistair was originally from Cavehill and his father was Reverend McKinley of the Glengormley Presbyterian Church.

It was lovely to meet you both and thank you for sharing your perfect picture with our infamous Italian serpentine staircase as a backdrop. Your always welcome to Belfast Castle 🫶🏻

1889 throwback 🙌🏻👨🏻‍✈️

Thanks to Northern Ireland Historical photographical Society. for sharing!

Anyone any thoughts on this image? Let us know

Here’s an absolutely rare photograph of a park warden looking very dapper in his full uniform and cap at the first cave in the cavehill country park Belfast dated sometime around 1889. Looks like there’s a makeshift fence or hand rail leading up to it for safety. I’m sure you’ll agree, it’s an absolutely incredible photograph. What are your thoughts?
