The courthouse in August 2011

The Crumlin Road Courthouse was designed by the architect Charles Lanyon and completed in 1850. It is situated across the road from the Crumlin Road Gaol and the two are linked by an underground passage.

The courthouse closed in June 1998.[1] It was sold to local investor Barry Gilligan in September 2003 for £1. His plans for the courthouse include redeveloping it as a tourist attraction and a hotel.[2]

On Thursday 12th of March 2009, the courthouse suffered significant damage in a fire[3] and a series of further fires in August 2009 caused further massive damage to the structure.[4], leaving the future of the building in question.

Vicinity

The former Crumlin Road Gaol building nearby has become a very popular visitor attraction.[5] During this first decade of the 21st century, there has been much published and talked about as to how the area can be regenerated for people of the vicinity and Belfast as well as visitors to the city.[citation needed]
