Townsend Street's industrial development in the 1800s was instrumental in making “Boomtown Belfast” - the largest city in Ireland at the start of the 1900s. The Soho Foundry on Townsend Street developed and fabricated the largest steam turbine in Ireland, and was innovative in the implementation of allowing power to be generated from weak flowing rivers, and paved the way for the significant expansion of Belfast's industrial footprint. The owner of the foundry was Robert Shipboy McAdam - a remarkable Presbyterian industrialist and Gaelic Scholar who worked tirelessly as a bridge between Belfast's cultures, faiths and communities. He recruited a workforce from both communities based on merit alone and left a profound mark on Belfast's social and cultural history.
