So there’s this Honesty Box cafe…

2015-05-25 15.39.05As you’re tootling along in the Wee Tram, you have the unalloyed pleasure of my cheerful face popping up on the video screens to tell you a little bit about all the sights we’re passing as we loop around the Titanic Quarter.

The videos were kindly sponsored by Titanic Foundation, and now that they’re complete, we have a set of 21 little 90-second tasters for all the sights, sounds and stories of Screenshot 2015-08-25 09.29.14the shipyards.  Looking at them as a set, it’s quite amazing to realise just how much good stuff is packed into our beloved TQ – from all the amazing heritage assets like the slipways, the Thompson Dock, the Nomadic and the Drawing Offices, to all the signs of new life and new growth (like the clip of the Titanic Belfast time-lapse I posted last week)

So I thought you’d like to see a one of the videos in its entirety – the one (natch) which tells you all about this amazing little Honesty Box cafe where community thrives, hope lives and the busy world pauses for a golden moment:
