The Falls Curfew of 3-5 July 1970 is considered by many to be the turning point in Catholic-Army relations throughout Northern Ireland & Belfast in particular & ultimately led to Catholic alienation from the state. The curfew was intended to dispel the violence it lasted 36 hours during which 4 people were killed at least 75 were wounded (including 15 soldiers) & 337 people were arrested. Allegations of army brutality towards Catholics & destruction of property have also popularised this belief. However the seeds of Catholic mistrust were sown decades before. The partition of Ireland in 1922 the subsequent Unionist domination of government & the ignorance of the British government towards the province ensured that it was only a matter of time that the initial welcome for the army in 1969 faded. This is the story of the Falls Curfew its causes & the subsequent polarisation of a community under siege. It is a story many wish could be forgotten but its legacy still lives on. ...

This is the era captured in the photographs of the Lytham Sea Cadets who in 1958 ventured from coast to coast via the canals of Lancashire & Yorkshire aboard Training Ship Queenborough. As they journeyed from the Ribble Estuary via the Leeds & Liverpool Canal & the Aire & Calder Navigation to the Humber Estuary the Sea Cadets witnessed regular merchant shipping on the Humber & the dying throes of commercial traffic on Britains tired neglected canals. They also glimpsed the occasional pleasure boat. Little did they know that such craft & their owners would be the salvation of Britains waterways.
