Product Information

City Hall has many connections with the famous ocean liner Titanic. Viscount William Pirrie who was Lord Mayor in 1896-1897 just before City Hall’s construction, was also managing director of Harland & Wolff Shipyard. He is the man credited as having the idea for both ambitious builds. He used many of his skilled workmen in the fit-out of City Hall which is why the interiors today are considered an incredible insight into the finish of Titanic’s lounges and suites, the ship’s carving panelling being very similar. If you’re struggling to find an in-person collection, consider donating your coat to one of the 8,000 Salvation Army clothing banks located across the UK. Where can I donate a coat in London?

HandsOn London chief executive Jon Meech told The Big Issue he has already seen the cost of living impacting on demand for coats in 2022.What I love about the idea and what makes it work is the simplicity and simplicity of the name and the concept and the sign. The Belfast City Hall tours take about an hour and are led by an experienced guide who explains the interesting history of the building and grounds. There is also an audio guide that you can use for the visitor exhibition. Tours are free but donations are welcome. 4. The Bobbin Coffee Shop The building includes some stunning features including the Grand Staircase, Banquet Hall and Reception Room. Although much remains from the original foundations, the Banquet Hall was partially destroyed during the Belfast blitz in May 1941 and had to be rebuilt. Public memorials in the grounds In response to their poor treatment, the women formed the textile workers section of the Irish Transport Workers Union and united to organise the Belfast Linen Strike of 1911. The women mill workers showed solidarity and courage and that courage, strength and faith is an inspiration to the women of today. They believed, ‘if you have faith and courage in each other, you can win’. Women, both present and future will continue to play an important role in leading and shaping our city and changing lives for the better. Through celebrating their history and contribution to the city Belfast city council’s women’s steering group hopes this window will inspire and unite women to continue the work for equality for all and for the uplifting of women’s lives. The window was unveiled in the week of International Women’s Day 2016 by the Lord Mayor, Councillor Arder Carson on Thursday 3 March 2016 and was designed, manufactured and installed by Alpha Stained Glass. The council’s Women’s Steering Group worked with the women’s movement across the city and a local historian to develop the window which is an illustration of Belfast women mill workers, and signifies the struggles that women have faced throughout history, some of which still exist today.

City Hall is open daily from 7am to 7pm during the winter months and from 7am to 9pm in the summer months. It’s completely free to enter the City Hall and there are even free public tours available as well. 3. The tour The official Belfast Coat of Arms was adopted in the late nineteenth century. An extract from the Grant of Arms issued by the Ulster King of Arms on the 30th June 1890 reads as thus: Belfast City Hall is located right in the heart of the city in Donegall Square. It’s a 5-minute walk from St George’s Market and a 25-minute walk from both Crumlin Road Gaol and the Botanic Gardens. 2. Opening hours and admissionWorking conditions in the mills were horrendous, wages were low, hours were long, health poor and life expectancy low. Women outnumbered male workers but were paid much less, and employers often issued the women with fines for laughing, singing or even adjusting their hair to keep wages low. Supporters: Dexter, a wolf proper, ducally gorged and chained or; sinister, a sea-horse gorged with a mural crown proper. The window is in dedication to the king’s tribute to Ulster’s contribution in the First World War, particularly to the courage and valour of the 36th Ulster Division. The window depicts a medieval warrior and female figure in front of a stone monument headed with the Royal coat of arms. At the bottom is the Ulster flag between the flags of the allies from the First World War; Britain, France, USA and Ireland. In the centre is the following inscription, “their name liveth for evermore”. Underneath is the king’s message that reads, “Your prompt patriotic answer to the nation’s call to arms will never be forgotten. I shall continue to follow with interest the fortunes of your division. I pray that god may bless you in all your undertakings”. George I. The memorial window was unveiled by his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Field Marshall the Viscount French of YPRES. K.P., G.C.V.O., K.C.M.G. on the 26 July 1920, and was created by Ward and Partners, Belfast. Know ye, therefore, that I, the said Ulster King of Arms, by the power to me given by Her Majesty’s Royal Letters Patent, under the Great Seal of Ireland, and by authority of the same, have assigned and granted, and by these Presents do assign, grant and exemplify to the Mayor, Aldermen and Citizens of the City of Belfast, the Arms following, namely – Per fess argent and azure in chief a pile vair, and on a canton gules, a bell argent, in base, a ship with sails set argent on waves of the sea proper. Supporters dexter, a wolf proper ducally gorged and chained or; sinister, a sea-horse gorged with a mural crown proper. The sea-horse and ship were almost certainly selected to indicate the emerging maritime importance of Belfast as a trading port. The wolf was probably taken as a compliment to Sir Arthur Chichester who was instrumental in the founding and expansion of Belfast in the early 1600s as wolves featured on his own coat of arms.
