The footage is part of the collection posted by ‘Belfast Jack’ on YouTube.

The images show busy shops and crowded streets and many landmarks that are still prominent features today.

But the traffic flow and many of the streets have changed a great deal.

The footage has been dated 1933 and one of the key features is a packed market in what is now Cathedral Square.
