****PRINT OF THE MONTH**** The Quirky Illustration of The Ulster Hall Belfast. First opened in 1862 is one of the oldest purpose-built concert halls in the UK and Ireland. The Ulster Hall itself has been through the wars, quite literally, having survived two World Wars, as well as welcoming some of globally diverse and famous names through its doors. From Charles Dickens to Snow Patrol, if they’re anybody, they’ll have played at the Ulster Hall. #ulsterhall #ulsterhallbelfast #belfast #northernirelandtourism #northernireland #concerthall #1862

The Quirky illustration of Sir Samuel Kelly Lifeboat. My drawing represented a whale which had been beached. And now it has been saved and you can see it and read about its history in Donaghadee. Link below. #lifeboat #donaghadee #donaghadeelighthouse #donaghadeeharbour @sskellyproject A4 prints with mount only £20 A3 prints with mount only £30 On 31 January 1953 the cross channel ferry MV Princess Victoria foundered in storm force conditions approximately 8.5 miles NE of Donaghadee. The SIR SAMUEL KELLY proceeded to the area and picked up 33 of the 44 survivors of the disaster. The lifeboat has naturally a special link to the local community as it was of course crewed by members of local seafaring families.

PRINT OF THE MONTH The old Gallahers cigarette factory finished prints available 😊🚬 Established in 1857 by Thomas Gallaher and originally opened in Londonderry, the company went on to become one of the biggest tobacco suppliers in the world. Gallaher was a brand that stood alongside power house companies such as Harland & Wolff shipbuilders that put Ulster industry on map. The business flourished and in 1863 it made the move to bustling Belfast city. In 1896, Gallaher opened what was then the biggest tobacco factory on the planet. #gallaher #gallahers #cigerette #cigarettes #factory #belfast #belfastireland #belfastcity #ni #parkdrivecigarettes #parkdrive #quirkypanache #illustration #watercolour

Print of the Month Quirky illustration of The Merchant Hotel Belfast. A4 Prints still only £20 with mount. A3 Prints still only £30 with mount. Also can be framed. A nice gift for someone who has stayed at the hotel. The Merchant Hotel has long been admired for its distinctive architectural style, both in its former life as the headquarters of the Ulster Bank and now, in its current incarnation as a five-star luxury hotel. This formidable sandstone structure was purpose built as the headquarters of the Ulster Bank. The site was originally acquired in 1836. However, the decision to build was not taken until 1857. Bank Directors Robert Grimshaw and James Heron visited Glasgow and Edinburgh to glean as much information as possible on the best banking buildings. It was their wish that the building should appear elegant, substantial and prosperous.
