When I was in Belfast a couple of weeks back visiting my dad in the Mater Hospital I couldn't help but notice this massive old courthouse opposite. It's been derelict since 1998 and it has a tunnel that runs under the road connecting it to the prison on the other side of the road which is also currently derelict. I'v read that there are current plans to develop the courthouse into a hotel/luxury app/offices while preserving the exterior and some interior features, and I think they are also planning on turning the prison into a tourist attraction. I was wandering however whether perhaps any of our NI members have managed to get inside? I would have loved to but wasn't really the appropriate time to go diving through barbed wire
Here are some pic of the exterior and a link a bbc article about it...
