(Thanks to fellow Youtuber Document Belfast who's video alerted me to this. )
I've dropped down to central Belfast and am just off Cornmarket at one of Belfast's better known historical narrow Entries. This is Joy Street dating from at least the early to mid 1600s.
There is a new bar restaurant in what was the old jailhouse and surprisingly enough it has been named the Jailhouse! In the beer garden smoking area a new statue of Presbyterian United Irishmen 1798 Rebellion leader Henry Joy McCracken. This new Henry Joy sculpture has to be the biggest and best one in Belfast. (At least I haven't come across anything to rival it. ) Well done The Jailhouse for keeping belfasst history alive.
The Jailhouse Bar and Restaurant
'Long thought to be the building where our entries namesake, Henry joy Mccracken was held as a prisoner before being hung in Cornmaket, The Jailhouse as it is now known has been frozen in time for the last 70 years, nearly forgotten about completely. Restored as part of the Joys Entry project, the aim was to keep as much of the original character of the building as possible. Brick walls, inscribed beams and original windows, take a closer look and see what history and tales you can find while you sip on tipples and nibble on rations.'
