CITY-CENTRE BOMB (JANUARY 1977)

The aftermath of an explosion at Queen’s Street. Getting to the scene was difficult. I had to climb through a building site. Another night when a bomb went off, I looked up to see the engine of a car dangling precariously about seventy feet above me from a shattered gantry.
