On the Falls Road Baths….

Máirtín Ó Muilleoir with a few moments from the history of the Falls Road Baths. It has gone through many changes and iterations in its time. He mentions his mother’s experience during the war when she glimpsed the inside when it, and other public places across Belfast, served as a mortuary for the whole city after one of the worst moments of the blitz – one thousand died in a single night alone – a decision, he says, “she has regretted ever since”.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
