Sculptures depicting Commerce, Justice and Britannia, look down benignly from the apex of the Merchant Hotel’s magnificent façade on Belfast’s Waring Street. Originally the headquarters of the Ulster Bank for a century and a half, since 2010 this building has been a luxury hotel.
Bank Directors Robert Grimshaw and James Heron visited Glasgow and Edinburgh in 1857 to glean as much information as possible on the best banking buildings. It was their earnest wish that the building should appear elegant, substantial and prosperous. The location was deemed eminently suitable being, as it was then, in the heart of Belfast’s mercantile and commercial centre.
The Glaswegian architect James Hamilton designed an imposing building in High Victorian Italianate style executed in Giffnock sandstone.
The Merchant Hotel is located in the Cathedral Quarter nightlife district.

These 2 bottle kilns in Longton were built in the late 19th century as part of the Commerce Works pottery. The pottery was run by the Chetham family from 1796 - 1869 and then taken over by H.J Aynsley in 1873. Final closure came in the 1990s and the site has stood derelict since. The building is listed Grade II but I doubt that will save it.
Emmet was once a thriving railway siding with a population of thirty people; today with only two residents. It has a picnic shelter and an interesting historical display in the revamped railway station. Emmet is the western gateway to the spectacular Idalia National Park where dry mulga scrub and rocky escarpments are home to the yellow-footed rock wallaby.
