White’s, in Winecellar Entry Image, claims to be the oldest bar in Belfast (1630). It seems to be excluded from the widespread demolition needed to make way for the “Royal Exchange”. The planning application states “1493/DCA Nos. 17-27 Lombard Street (BT1 1RD), 16-22 Rosemary Street (BT1 1QD), 14-18 High Street (BT1 2BD) and 1-21 Bridge Street, Belfast Demolition to rear of no. 17 Lombard Street and demolition of nos. 17A-27 Lombard Street, 16-22 Rosemary Street, 1-21 Bridge Street and Retention of Facade and demolition of buildings to rear of nos. 14-18 High Street, Belfast (excluding Whites Tavern, 2-4 Winecellar entry).” The view is from the Lombard Street end of the entry.
