Castles of the north
A stunning 18-page photo-essay from Northern Ireland
By prize-winning English photographer Jonathan Olley
Introduction by Liam Clarke

Journalists, photographers and camera crews have followed the conflict
between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland closely for many
years, but attention has rarely been given to the consequences the conflict
had for the urban environment. Photographer Jonathan Olley photographed the
British army ¹s heavily-armed observation posts and forts which define the
street scene in Northern Ireland. They loom over shops, pubs and fish and
chip shops like modern castles. Now that the army is withdrawing as a part
of the peace process, the buildings and towers are being demolished brick by
brick.
