Garden of Remembrance
Cenotaph and Garden of Remembrance. Belfast City Hall.
"A semicircle of Egyptian-style Corinthian columns forming a backdrop to the Cenotaph, erected 1929 to designs by Sir Alfred Brumwell Thomas and located on the W side of the City Hall. The tall columns are paired and stand on mutual plinths, supporting a cornice decorated with roundels and dentils. At the focus of the arcade is a Lutyensesque monument in Portland stone consisting of an inscribed base over a plinth of three shallow steps, with a pair of pilasters front and back supporting an intricate pediment of rosettes, dentils and acanthus leaves. Intersecting with this on either side are lower pairs of pilasters surmounted by wreathes. An associated sunken paved area separated from the rest of the grounds by limestone balustrading forms part of its setting".
