In its heyday, Donegall Street its surrounds were home to the Belfast Telegraph, News Letter, Irish News and The Northern Whig.The Belfast Telegraph had offices on Royal Avenue "So you could dander down at lunch time and have your lunch and a swift half, if you were that way inclined."Hugh Russell, the Irish News's deputy picture editor, said journalism was totally different from when he started at the paper 40 years ago.Photographing Gerry Conlon as he emerged from the Old Bailey after his acquittal is one of Mr Russell's most memorable moments.However, covering some of the worst periods of the Troubles also took its toll.
