The Shankill Road, Belfast – A Community Shaped by History © Daren Frankish. All rights reserved Few streets in Belfast are as well known as the Shankill Road. Running through the heart of west Belfast, it has become synonymous with the city's complex past, standing as one of Northern Ireland's most significant and recognisable roads. Like its neighbouring Falls Road, the Shankill has experienced decades of conflict, loss and division, yet today it is also a community looking towards the future while remembering its past.
