What a palaver - my brake warning flashed so I booked KwikFit at Yorkgate

To travel home the train makes you go via the brand new £350m Grand Central station and change trains. 15 minutes in between.

So a previously direct train in 15-20 minutes now takes two trains and 55 minutes. Twice today.

Look - it’s right next to the chapel!
And bears a similar cross - did Carnegie know, I wonder?

For whom? With what? By when? How?

Our beautiful sandstone Belfast Coat of Arms ‘Pro Tanto Quid Retribuamus’ over our front door, and the colourful City Hall carpet version!

Who knows the heraldic features?

The elegant Carnegie Library on Donegall Road - one of three in Belfast (Falls Road, still a library, and ours in the third sector).
This one in private hands, let out as offices.
Carnegie liked hills - I want people to walk up to the enlightenment.
It’s still called ‘Library Hill’!

Our Carnegie counterpart in Manchester the @levyoldlibrary.bsky.social boasts Sir Norman Foster as a child borrower - who passed through our doors?
