Buoys, Donegall Street, Belfast (3)
See J3374 : Buoys, Donegall Street, Belfast and J3374 : Buoys, Donegall Street, Belfast (2). More than a year later they look particularly woebegone – something made worse by the improvements to the Art College in the background. Continue to J3374 : Buoys, Donegall Street, Belfast (4).
The Buoys, Titanic Quarter, Belfast
The buoys stood outside the Art College, (part of the University of Ulster), at the corner of Donegall Street and York Street. When erected in 1979 they were quite a novelty and included jets of water squirting from below. Time (and various elements of aerosol society) has not treated them well. The jets of water are no more. They were a gift from the Commissioners of Irish Lights.
Subsequently moved to the Titanic Quarter.
