Sometime around midnight on 13 July 1972, I was making my way down
Lindsay Hill after having just seen my girlfriend Margaret home to her house in
High Street.
The night was
dark, this was not because of any natural occurrence, or anything to do with
our weather; it was dark because the Security Forces in the interests of their
own personal safety had turned off some of the street lighting.
The scans below are of a pamphlet
handed out by the security forces, to the local population regarding the
switching off, of some of the streetlights in Newry at night.
