A rare view from the (now gone) former RUC - later changed to PSNI Andersonstown police station, in west Belfast, N. Ireland
A rare view from inside the watchtower overlooking the Falls Road from Andersonstown Police Station, former Royal Ulster Constabulary and later changed to Police Service of Northern Ireland. The station has been prominent during 30 years of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. In May 1983, a 1,000lb IRA car bomb exploded causing an estimated £1m of damage at the station. In 2001, an 11-week-old girl was injured after the car she was traveling in was hit by shrapnel during an attack on the station by the dissident republican Real IRA.
