If you want to see old Belfast before before it fully disappears then this is an area that you should visit. The main attraction on Princes Dock Street is St. Joseph's a former Catholic Church.
The Sailortown Regeneration Group has a 150-year lease on the derelict church and they obtained about £30,000 from Belfast City Council and the Department for Communities in order to make the exterior of the building safe.
Known as the Chapel on the Quay, St Joseph's was established almost 140 years ago for the growing Catholic population in the docks area. However, The building,was closed and de-consecrated by the Catholic Church in 2001. Since then local residents and the SRG have campaigned to protect the premises and the history of its dockland community.
