Shankill is a west Belfast ward in Belfast, Northern Ireland, centred on the historic Shankill Road which runs roughly parallel to the nearby Falls Road. The area is traditionally working-class, with rows of terraced housing, small shops and local businesses, and lies within easy distance of the city centre.
It has a strong loyalist cultural identity, visible in murals, memorials and community organisations, and was heavily affected by the Troubles with interface areas and peace lines still shaping the local geography. In recent years there have been ongoing regeneration and community-led projects aimed at tackling economic challenges and promoting social and cultural renewal.
