An information board and map at the corner of North Street and Bridge Street, Belfast.
"The impressive building standing where North Street, Bridge Street and Waring Street meet was originally Belfast's Exchange and Assembly Rooms (1769). Continue along North Street and enjoy its many 19th and 20th century buildings. At its upper end, look for the magnificent twin towers of St Peter's Catholic Cathedral (1866) and follow them to their source off Albert Street.
The Ulster Bank building (1860) on Waring Street is one of the most impressive edifices in Belfast. It stands opposite Cotton Court, a converted cotton warehouse.Nearby, the War Memorial Building, opened in 1963, pays tribute to Northern Ireland's wartime efforts."
