Belfast City Hall is Belfast City Council's civic building and it
is one of my favorite buildings in Belfast. It is located in
Donegall Square, in the heart of Belfast city centre.
As you can see from my photographs it is a busy time for the City
Hall as they are preparing for the Queen's Jubilee (this weekend)
as well as a free outdoor concert to celebrate the Olympic Torch
tour of Ireland Ireland.
The site now occupied by Belfast City Hall was once the home of
the White Linen Hall, an important international Linen Exchange.
The Street that runs from the back door of Belfast City Hall
through the middle of Linen Quarter is Linen Hall Street.
Plans for the City Hall began in 1888 when Belfast was awarded
city status by Queen Victoria. This was in recognition of
Belfast's rapid expansion and thriving linen, rope-making,
shipbuilding and engineering industries. During this period
Belfast briefly overtook Dublin as the most populous city on the
island of Ireland.
Construction began in 1898 under the supervision of architect Sir
Alfred Brumwell Thomas and was completed in 1906 at a cost of
£369,000. Belfast Corporation (now the council) used their
profits from the gas industry to pay for the construction of
Belfast City Hall.
Local firms H&J Martin and WH Stephens were among the
companies involved in construction. James G. Gamble, architect,
was the clerk of works.
The city hall in Durban, South Africa is almost an exact replica
of Belfast's City Hall.It was built in 1910 and designed by
Stanley G. Hudson, who was inspired by the Belfast design. The
Port of Liverpool Building, designed by Arnold Thornley and
completed in 1913, is another very close relative.
On August 1, 2006 the city hall celebrated its centenary with a
"Century Of Memories" exhibition and family picnic day.

Titanic Memorial
Moved to its current location on 24 March 1960, this memorial was
originally unveiled on 26 June 1920 in Donegall Square North.
It is the work of acclaimed sculptor Thomas Brock who died two
years after its unveiling.
The Belfast-built RMS Titanic, part of the White Star Line, sank
on 15 April 1912. In the memorial, the female figure of Thane
looks down upon two sea nymphs as they rise from the waves with
the body of a drowned seaman in their arms.
The names of the dead include the ship's designer Thomas Andrews
and doctor John Simpson.
