Northern Ireland Industry and Agriculture


This vibrant film depicts Northern Ireland as a hive of activity. First, observe the countryside, an idyllic patchwork of green, a place where crops and cattle flourish and farmers cultivate the land. In Ardglass, the catch of the day is herring, the fishermen's haul being slithered into boxes and sent to Belfast. There, it will feed the men and women who strive and sweat in the city's shipyards and linen factories.
