Probably wont find this on the internet as it was quite a while before it was around but when i was in my teens i remember granada reports reporting live from the street next to the pub ( adelphi ) at the bottom of avenue parade

i was there while they were recording it and reporting about a car that had been parked on the carpark just across the road.The car had a white tent put around it and there were all sorts of response units there.It turned out to be loaded with explosives that were thought to have been left for collection at a later date to make bombs with

it would have been the mid 80s

if i remember correctly an IRA fugitive was later picked up living on spencer street ?
