| Description |
English: I have to admit that I am not 100% certain about the exact location of this piece of public art but if it is not within Pottinger’s Entry it is nearby.
The Belfast Entries are a series of historical narrow alleyways in the city centre of Belfast mostly in the vicinity of High Street and Ann Street. When the town was first laid out, these alleyways serviced dense residential and commercial development. The surviving examples retain pockets of historic development including many Victorian and pre-Victorian period pubs, some of which remain open for business to this day. Former Social Development Minister David Hanson described the Entries as the streets "where Belfast began and developed into the city it is today". Dating back to at least 1630 but most probably earlier than that, these entries are the oldest parts of Belfast city. The entries running north from High Street were largely destroyed during the Belfast Blitz in World War II. Despite this, some remain. In 2006 and 2007, a number of the Entries underwent environmental refurbishment to improve their condition. Pottinger's Entry connects Ann Street with High Street in almost a straight line. The principal attraction is a Victorian pub, The Morning Star. The arched entrance from Ann Street is also Victorian and was retained when the original building was demolished in the 1990s. This entrance is a popular spot for buskers. This is undoubtedly the most obvious of the Entries, featuring large wrought-iron signs above each entrance archway. |
