In West Belfast 1979, Syd Shelton documents the Catholic communities of West Belfast during the height of The Troubles in Northern Ireland.     “I went to West Belfast because I wanted to photograph the humanity of the people who were vilified in England amidst ‘The Troubles’. Other photographers were doing amazing coverage of ’The Troubles’ but I was looking with a different eye. What I found was almost autobiographical as I felt transported back to the streets I was brought up in the north of England 30 years earlier.” –  Syd Shelton       For More of an idea of what Belfast was like in the 1970s, you can watch the TV show Belfast – No Way Out:     You can buy a great photozine of West Belfast, 1979 at Cafe Royal.
