Our amazing author Marie Therese took on a 5K wheelie challenge with friends for #MarieCurie last month along the Tow Path in Belfast. Having lost four friends to cancer, this was her way of supporting the charity. And she raised an incredible £1705! What an incredible woman!

1967, NI govt announces construction of an elevated, 3-lane motorway encircling Belfast City Centre. 10 years later the plan was dead. 'The Belfast Urban Motorway' tells the story of the most ambitious plan never to be built, combining engineering, ambition & social conflict. @niroads.bsky.social
