The Lisnasharragh Story Part1 ( George Best's Belfast school from it’s 1958 opening to the 1970s )
Channel: Chew Valley Films
Date: 2020-09-17

Lisnasharragh High School in East Belfast closed in June 2008. This two part film records many details from the school’s beginnings through to its final days. 
We trace its 52 year history through archive footage and memories of both staff and pupils.
Lisnasharragh will probably be remembered most of all as the school that world famous footballer George Best went to, and these films include memories of George from both teachers and fellow pupils, but they also reveal that for many other pupils it was also the best school.

Part2 records how the school coped through the difficult times of the Troubles in the 1970s until the school gates closed for the very last time in June 2008.
Filmed and edited by ex-pupil Peter Brownlee.
A Chew Valley Films production for NVTV, Belfast, June 2008.
