(71.1 by 30.5cm) Frame Size: 33 by 17in. (83.8 by 43.2cm) A famous Belfast entry that once housed a bar where the United Irishmen met to plot rebellion was opened to the public for the first time in over 50 years in April 2024. Sugarhouse Entry, which runs between High Street andWaring Street on the edge of the Cathedral Quarter, was closed by the Army in 1972. Situated next to a number of government buildings at the time, access was seen as a security risk, with fears the IRA could use it as an escape route during bomb attacks. It took its name from a nearby sugar refinery, owned by the McCartney family in the 17th century. €2,000-€3,000 (£1,740-£2,610 approx.) Click here for more images and to bid on this lot121
