Old doorway, Lurgan

Image: © Albert Bridge Taken: 20 Feb 2011

This doorway, in Queen Street at the corner of Malcolm Road, is not what it seems to be. It and another (hidden to the left) are all that remain of the former Orchard County Hotel. If my memory is correct the hotel was destroyed by a bomb in the 1970’s. What you see is a facade, surviving at ground level only and now acting as a boundary wall for the gospel hall.
