A TRIP ALONG DONEGALL STREET IN BELFASTURBAN DEPRESSION AND SOME URBAN EXPRESSION

Ever since I was about four years old I really liked visiting Belfast and I now still visit at once a year to spend a week photographing the built environment. One thing that I have noticed about Belfast is that there are many once attractive buildings in the city but many of them are unoccupied or could even be described as derelict and this is especially true in and around Donegall Street.

To make things worse, about six or seven months after I last visited the area there was a major fire which resulted in a report by an engineer indicating that repairs following a major fire in the Cathedral Quarter are likely to take years and that a cordon may need to remain around the listed Old Cathedral Building on Donegall Street, restricting access for several business owners, pedestrians and traffic.

ADELAIDE STREET IN BELFAST PHOTOGRAPHED IN MARCH 2022

When I last visited in March 2022 A scheme to revitalise Adelaide Street to make Belfast a more "accessible and liveable" city had been substantially completed. The pilot project was funded by Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon’s Blue/Green Infrastructure Fund and was delivered in partnership with Belfast City Council.

Because of issues that we have had with hosting services and because our web sites were not mobile friendly was have decided to implement alternative solutions but as much time and effort will be required the changes will be introduced on a phased basis beginning in February 2023. If you are a mobile user it is suggested that you select the mobile friendly options included here.
