Former "White Gables" hotel, Hillsborough
Image: © Albert Bridge Taken: 5 May 2010
The “White Gables” opened in the mid-70’s at a time when hotels were a scarce commodity in NI and when overnight visitors were reluctant to stay in Belfast. Now closed and demolished but still mentioned on some accommodation websites. My understanding is that the intention was to build houses here but the site (between the Dromore Road and the bypass Image) was not zoned for housing.
