Kelly's Cellars To Remain A Listed Building
Kelly's Cellars pub in Belfast city centre is to remain a listed building.
Speaking about his decision Environment Minister Mark H Durkan said: "I have listened to the views of consultees on initial proposals for delisted buildings. After careful consideration of all the available information I have decided to retain listing for a number of these buildings, including Kelly’s Cellars. Despite the fact that Kelly’s Cellars has been altered over the years I have concluded it is still of significant historic interest. Sufficient historic material survives to reflect this.
"There were proposals for listing of a number of buildings owned by the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust. I am conscious of pressures on our Health and Social Care budget at this time and am therefore planning to meet with representatives if the Trust to find out what the possible impact of listing might be on their future development plans."
The Minister also announced nineteen new listed buildings in Belfast.
The Northern Ireland War Memorial Building on Waring Street and the modernist Danske Bank on Donegal Square West have been listed.
The Belfast Synagogue has also been listed.
Further listings include, the Belfast Telegraph Offices in Royal Avenue, the Shankill Mission Hall, a working man's club on Danube Street and the West Belfast Orange Hall.
