A local terraced house from the 1930s is recreated within Fernhill House: The People's Museum and you get a real sense of the way Protestant people lived in working-class Belfast at the time of the great Depression. It has exhibitions looking at the Shankill Road (a famous area of staunchly Protestant tradition), Home Rule (a form of limited independence granted to Ireland in 1912) and the considerable role played by Ulster soldiers in both the First and Second World Wars. There is wheelchair access and discounts are available for families and students.
