Episode 1: The Find
1969. Young Billy Stevenson climbs the chimney of a half-demolished house. He鈥檚 about to drop back down when he notices a tin box hidden in the brick. Could it be treasure?
In the summer of 1969, weeks before the Troubles would ignite, children playing in the rubble of a demolition site struck gold! While searching for treasure hundreds, maybe thousands of gold sovereigns, hidden and forgotten years before, tumbled to the ground from a chimney stack. More than 50 years later, author Glenn Patterson visits the Lower Shankill Road to find out who the coins belonged to. Why were they hidden? And where are they now?
