Memorials in Belfast

Memorials in Belfast

On this soundwalk, we'll explore the history and significance of the statues and memorials located throughout Belfast's city hall garden. Each stop on our tour will highlight a different figure and share their story, providing a deeper understanding of the city's rich cultural heritage. We will cover 10 memorials that are around the city hall building. I have created 11 zones to guide your tour, which are: Zone 0: The main gate of Belfast City Hall. Zone 1: Queen Victoria statue. Zone 2: Sir James Haslett. Zone 3: Sir Edward Harland. Zone 4: Pirrie memorial. Zone 5: Titanic zone. Zone 6: Royal Irish Rifles Memorial. Zone 7: Sir Daniel Dixon. Zone 8: Sir Robert McMordie. Zone 9: Lord Dufferin Memorial. Zone 10: Cenotaph. I want to assure you that the information you will hear is based on reliable sources, including the Belfast City Hall website. Additionally, I would like to express my gratitude towards Mr. Ken Martin, a Chairperson of Tour Guides Northern Ireland, who kindly offered his guidance and provided me with credible resources for this project.

Lore from the Lookout

Lore from the Lookout

This is an audiowalk/journey that has unconventional stories that have taken place in some of the most beautiful places in Belfast. The walk is called “Lore from the Lookout” because it combines the narrator’s (myself) initial perspective and how that feeling relates to a story that would be said about the place from around the River Lagan. The places covered in the audio walk are the Queen's Bridge, Titanic, Belfast Harbour and the Salmon of Knowledge. This audio walk is multifunctional. The stories have been recorded in a podcast format and can be listened on other platforms like Youtube and Spotify as well. The podcast is dynamic in its storytelling and is filled with subjective experiences and emotions and how they relate to the stories themselves. It aptly fits in with the platforms, due to Spotify and Youtube's storytelling podcast boom. It is highly recommended to listen to this audio walk with earphones for the best experience and use any transportation of your choice to get from one place to another. Enjoy!
