"The Boat", Belfast (November 2014)
The flat centre of Belfast and the general absence of “skyscrapers” makes the taller buildings noticeable, even from a distance. This view of “The Boat” (Donegall Quay) is from near the corner of Nelson Street and Gt Patrick Street.

The leaning Albert Clock, Belfast
To understand the reason for the clock’s lean you have to remember that it is built on reclaimed land and that ships once berthed at the bottom of Waring Street
Image and High Street
Image - Skipper Street
Image also refers to this. Much of central Belfast is underlain by a deposit of soft mud and silt - "sleech".
Inst
Image and the Custom House
Image are two buildings which are now lower than when built as a result of sinking into the sleech.
The cross-harbour road and railway
Image Image Image required foundations up to 60 metres deep before reaching firm ground.
The clock is said to be 113 ft tall and to be 14ft off vertical (it was built to imperial measurements). The degree of lean can be appreciated in this comparison with the Custom House Square apartments
Image completed this year.
Image shows, for comparison, the view from the east.
