EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Kellys Cellars pub in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 2010. Steeped in history and built back in 1720, this iconic establishment stands as one of Belfast's oldest pubs. Its significance goes beyond serving pints; it holds a place in the annals of Irish rebellion against British rule. During the late 18th century, Kellys Cellars became a clandestine meeting spot for members of the Society of United Irishmen. These brave individuals launched a rebellion against British authority in 1798, fighting for their vision of an independent Ireland. The walls within these hallowed halls witnessed discussions that shaped history. In this vibrant image, we see patrons enjoying their drinks amidst antique furniture and traditional interior design elements that transport us to another era. A man named Peter Thompson is captured at one end of the bar stool while engaging with fellow customers who share his passion for politics and trade. Kellys Cellars remains not just a pub but also a testament to resilience and republicanism deeply rooted within Northern Ireland's heritage. This photograph serves as a reminder that even centuries later, its doors continue to welcome locals and tourists alike seeking both refreshment and connection with the past.
