Old night safe, Belfast
Former night safe on the Skipper Street side of the Merchant Hotel Image (former headquarters of the Ulster Bank). The safe bears the name 'John Tann Ltd.' of London. The company was founded in London in 1795 and primarily produced safes for many major financial institutions, including the Bank of England. From what I can establish, the company merged with Rosengrens of Sweden in 1990 to form 'Rosengrens-Tann' http://www.rosengrens.com/ which still trades today, although I have also found the Austrian company 'John-Tann' http://www.john-tann.com/index.php which also produces safes. Clarifications welcomed.

New look for Skipper Street
Skipper Street used to be a bit challenging for pedestrians with its uneven narrow footpath and traffic squeezing past parked cars. The original width, though thankfully not the original uneven surface, can be seen along the section between the muralled wall and the new drainage channel beside the yellow cones. Then some visionary recently decided to take half the road width away from the traffic and create a new wider and safer pedestrian path and also do away with parking here. Common sense rules at last.

Claddagh-style mural. Belfast
What I take to be an officially-sponsored mural in Waring Street. It seems to have been influenced by a Claddagh ring and might symbolise friendship or reconciliation. If anyone has a definitive answer please let me know.
