GREAT VICTORIA STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN BELFAST

GREAT VICTORIA STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH - BELFAST 24 JUNE 2014

I think that this building has been painted all white since I photographed it in 2014 which is a pity because I liked the colours shown in my images.

This church, described as classical stucco, was built to accommodate 800. It was designed by 'Mr McNea' and it opened in January 1861. It was originally the Sandy Row Presbyterian Church.

Great Victoria Street is a major thoroughfare located in the city centre and is one of the important streets used by pedestrians alighting from Belfast Great Victoria Street railway station and walking into shopping streets such as Royal Avenue.

The street connects with the Donegall Road and the Lisburn Road which are also linked into Shaftesbury Square in the southern direction and towards the Donegall Square in the northern direction, which links via Howard Street into Donegall Place.

The street itself was named in honour of Queen Victoria. It features has the Monument to the Unknown Woman Worker, which is in a prominent walking route into Belfast Great Victoria Street railway station. There are also a number of churches located along the street.
