What is Belfastentries.com
Belfastentries.com is a hobby website created to explore Belfast and the neighbouring counties by looking at our history, the people, stories and places of interest through a series of short posts. We hope that the information provided is of some interest to those visiting the site and that site visitors will take the opportunity to interact by way of feedback or suggestions for new topics or posts that may be of interest.
As this is a hobby site, BelfastEntries has nothing to sell and has no commercial affiliation with any services or businesses listed or adverts displayed. Advertisements shown on the site, provided through Google, are used to cover our costs in researching the articles and hosting the website. We have refused Google permission to display personalised adverts as we do not approve of this type of invasive advert.
In coming months we hope to add more local adverts providing information on local goods and services.
