Linenopolis

A celebration and exploration of Belfast’s most famous textile, the “linen biennale”, runs until October (web). The Linen Hall library also runs a tour of the “linen quarter” on Thursdays.

Visual Waste’s (ig) Great Victoria Street mural includes various linen quarter buildings: the Grand Opera House, the Europa hotel, and Inst., alongside the H&W cranes and the Titanic museum.

Nomad Clan’s mural in east Belfast also went by the same name.

    Where is this in Great Victoria Street? Side of a hotel?

      Yes – it’s on the back of ETAP. We stood in Gt Victoria St in the evening – the car park was closed so it was long-range but at least there were no cars. ’79 Gt V St’ on StreetView. It looks like you can get in from Ventry St or Harmony St when the gates are open.
