To be precise the photographer here was standing in Donegall Place, looking across into Castle Street. The prominent building is the former Ulster Reform Club - mindlessly demolished like so many of Belfast's fine buildings.
its standing at basically the entrance to Zara, the black building to the right on the corner is McDonalds and the far building was knocked down to become a post office (black glass building) but then became DV8, and then was just knocked down a few months ago and something new is being built currently.

Well in Ireland we were all British subjects then. Thank God the Easter Rising of 1916 happened and we cleared the brits out of 26 counties, only 6 to go and that will happen this decade with a border referendum.

Thank you for sharing this amazing footage
Good footage considering this was over 120 yrs ago

remarkably clear for 1897.
great footage
I see castle street hasn't changed much!
Great to see
+fossie32 Thank you.

A time when Loyalists identified themselves as British AND Irish. Sad how things developed.

Somebody wasn't very imaginative in 1897 just filming one street and the same buildings in the Irish city of Belfast.
Irish and British at the time, just British now
