Belfast's Industrial Pride: A Revival of Steel and Symbolism The £3. 1 million refurbishment of Samson and Goliath, Belfast's iconic yellow cranes, is a significant development in the city's industrial heritage.
This project serves as a reminder that Northern Ireland's manufacturing sector can revitalize and modernize its own symbols of industry.
Built in the late 1960s and early 1970s, these cranes are tangible links to Belfast's past when Harland & Wolff was a byword for industrial grandeur.
