Introduction
Belfast Entries is a website dedicated to the history of our people, places and stories. As such we have covered a variety of historic subjects e.g. historic buildings, pubs, interesting ‘walks’, and historic people.
We are often asked to advise visitors to the city of the locations of the historic places we have covered. This page is intended to help visitors to Belfast in finding the locations and planning their day(s) whether it be pubs, churches, parks or historic walks. The map below shows the locations.
Note that this page is very much a work-in-progress starting in mid-Sept 2023 and will be updated over several weeks to include all of the places covered on our website that still exist today.
