Stained glass - the Crown Liquor Saloon, Belfast

In 1885 a major refurbishment took place at this Great Victoria Street pub, the owner employing Italian craftsmen to create a masterpiece of woodwork, tiling, and etched and stained glass. The building is now owned by the National Trust but is run by the Nicholson's chain. Internally, the pub features ten booths or snugs installed to provide customers with privacy as well as restored gas lighting. This view shows an example of the internal glasswork atmospherically lit by the gas lights.

A visitor to the site has supplied some interesting information about former buildings in Donegall Square South (originally built by Adam McClean J3373 : Donegall Square South (part), Belfast (1981) ) – “ I have a property map showing the row of terraces in Donegall Square South. It depicts No 5 as having almost twice the street frontage of the other eight houses. It seems odd to make one larger than the others.
The map showed that Adam McClean owned the vacant ground (then known as McClean's Fields) from Alfred across to Brunswick St, and from Donegall Square South to the Blackstaff river as far as the old Dublin road. As the area was developed, the name of the purchaser of each block has been written on the lot. This seems to happen until about 1862, with the Ulster Hall being the last entry”.
Charlie Brett described Adam McClean as one of four sons of an innkeeper at Shane’s Castle. That should have been six sons.
