Summary edit

Description
English: Northumberland Street, Belfast Northumberland Street connects the divided communities of the Falls (behind my position) and Shankill (facing) in Belfast. The two metal gates act as 'peacelines' and can be closed to prevent trouble ('minimize intercommunal sectarian violence') between the two communities. First seen as 'temporary' structures in the early 1970s, peacelines were designed to help prevent riots and to stop the easy access of sectarian murder gangs travelling between rival communities. Despite Northern Ireland entering into a period of peace and reconciliation, many peacelines still exist.
