Description

Women and men at work making ropes as news comes of an export order. 

The Belfast Rope Works at sites across East Belfast was the largest in the world by the Second World War, producing ropes from heavy cable to fine twine. As the shipping industry declined, so did its business and it closed in 1979. 

Credits

An Ulster Television Production.
