THE GREEN MENU OPTIONS ARE MOBILE FRIENDLY AND ARE FASTER SO THEY ARE RECOMMENDED. THE RED MENU OPTIONS ARE SOMEWHAT SLOWER DEPENDING ON YOUR DEVICE OR BROWSER AND ARE MORE SUITABLE FOR DESKTOPS AND LAPTOPS. THE BLUE OPTIONS ARE PAGE LINKS AND WILL BE PHASED OUT GOING FORWARD
This is an old site and because of this there has been a number technical issues and as a result the site was very slow and not at all suitable for mobile devices. Also for security reasons and problems withe hosting services some links no longer work. Currently the site is being reconstructed and it could be described as a Work In Progress as we try to remove all the issues and broken links.
SINCLAIRS DEPARTMENT STORE IN BELFAST
LOADING
During the troubles, the main shopping area around Royal Avenue was pedestrianised with security gates to prevent car-bombs. Sinclair’s was attacked on 12 July 1971 with an explosive device. As a consequence of the troubles, trade was much reduced, and the store closed in 1972. Grade B+ Listed.
The former Sinclair’s department store, at the corner of Royal Avenue and (lower) North Street was completed in 1926 to a design by James Scott, architect and civil engineer. The present Art Deco facade was added in 1935. In 1918 (eight years before its completion) there were branches of the “Sinclair’s” business at 77,81,85, 87, 89, 91, 93, 97 and 103 Royal Avenue.
Now known as Sinclair House with an address of 89/101 Royal Avenue across the road from the Bank Of Ireland Art Deco building.
