Former Monarch Laundry chimney, Belfast

Now closed and demolished, the Monarch Laundry, at the corner of the Donegall Road and Monarch Street J3273 : Monarch Street, Belfast, opened in 1904. After closure the premises were let to other businesses. The chimney is all that remains. Not on the “at risk” register but . . . .
