Default Some pics of The Belfast Grande project

There will be 7 Extira panels flanking the pub's doorways:

There will be a celtic cross in the main sign:

One of the pubs is called the Red Fox:

The birth of the fox from a solid block of HDU

and the finished, but not yet painted product.

That is truly depressing.

Can it be that in all of Ireland there is nobody left who can carve a fox
for a pub sign?

That even in Belfast people are so used to seeing CNC routered MDF in their
public buildings that they may as well be in Disneyland or Las Vegas as in
the heart of an ancient city?

That a celtic cross is reduced to a corporate logo for the sale of beer and
bar meals?

It's all coming true, everything we have been warned about for years now.
Weep, weep, bitter tears of self reproach. We could have stopped those
*******s if we had had more courage.
