City of Belfast - Capital of Northern Ireland : official industrial handbook, c1960
A very detailed guide and review of the City of Belfast's industrial and commercial facilities issued in c1960 by the City Council and published, like so many other 'official handbooks' by Burrow's. The cover links the traditional industries of Ulster, in this case that of linen and textiles, along with the 'brave new industrial world' the Council and the NI Government at Stormont were attempting to build - most noticably through some of the most generous grant aid available for relocation, factory sites and buildings and training. These, such as new man-made fibre production and new works for companies such as Gallaher's tobacco, were intended to compliment existing industries such as ship building and aircraft construction.
