Wheels Around Ulster
Donegall Square, Smithfield bus station, Gelston's Corner, Castle Place and Bellvue are some of the Belfast locations featured in this book, whilst towns outside the city which are illustrated include Portstewart, Bangor, Banbridge, Lisburn, Ballymena, Portrush, Dundonald, Gilford and Londonderry. Many well-known former transport operators including H. M. S. Catherwood, the Londonderry & Lough Swilly Co. and the Belfast Omnibus Co. are featured, although it would be a mistake to assume that only buses appear in Wheels Around Belfast. Amongst other modes of transport included are the railways, with rolling stock from several different railway companies represented, Moffet, Chamberlain and McCreary type trams, many of the trolleybuses which succeeded them and also cars, lorries and even the odd bicycle.
