I found these wonderful photos amongst my late father's possessions.
He was called Bob Ryan and worked in Robinson & Cleavers . The photos show flooding in Belfast in 1903 in Donegall Square. The note attached to them was sent by his work colleague Jack Herriot and reads as follows. "Bob, you remember these photos of R&C. Someone gave you or me them. Floodwater in 1903 taken taken from the same spot probably using a camera by Rodman who were opposite the Irish Bank at the time. Note the little straw hat on the girl with the can. Odd that nowadays in B&H Cafe waitresses wear similar bonnets."

For more than a century the Belfast Telegraph has been reporting the news of Northern Ireland and recording the lives of the people who live here.
During that time, we have amassed a picture archive that is unmatched in its breadth and its beauty.
In our print edition, from Monday 11 to Friday 15 June, we'll be giving away free photo supplements showing pictures of the decades that shaped Northern Ireland; a pictorial record of the great news and sporting events, the people who shaped them and were shaped by them, at work and play, what they wore and what they said.
Starting on Monday with the 1920s, the age of jazz, flappers and the first talking films, the series continues with every decade up to the swinging sixties, when our own George Best was the 'Fifth Beatle'.
