A serious blaze at a historic building in north Belfast was started deliberately, police believe. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

Last night, Crumlin Road Courthouse was set alight, with police believing it was deliberate.
I’m appealing to anyone who may have seen suspicious activity or has footage from the area to contact police.
With plans in place to bring this historic building back into use, we cannot allow it to be destroyed by deliberate fires.

Many people want to @SaveCRC from its current state of #DerelictIreland. One only needs to look across the road at @CrumlinRoadGaol to realise that the building can restored to its #FormerGlory if the will exists.

Listening to the report of the soldier F trial and how he is surrounded by a curtain in court reminded me of this taken in Crumlin road courthouse. There was a curtain rail around this too. I think there were super grass trails held there.

"The Crumlin Road is very much a microcosm for the rest of the city, and nothing sums up our missed opportunities like the juxtaposition between two adjacent listed buildings there which previously played a hugely significant role during our darkest days – the courthouse and the prison."

Solutions are needed to deal with the growing threat of vacancy and arson. Collaboration is needed between Government departments and Councils urgently to utilise/meanwhile use these undeveloped sites, otherwise we risk losing them forever.

8 fires in 7 months this year at Listed Buildings in Northern Ireland! The recent Condition Report published by HED notes that 33% of listed buildings surveyed were noted as being vacant. All 8 fires were in vacant listed buildings.

🚨In what will hopefully be a turning point in the whole sorry Castlebrooke saga, the Council has today officially agreed to make them an offer to buy the Assembly Rooms.🚨
Thank you to @ainegroogan and @Briansmyth99 for their heroic work on this.

Three key points in @ManorArchitects #PublicConsultation on Belfast’s #heritage Courthouse:
1. Genuine openness to fresh ideas
2. Strong narrative on past failed efforts
3. Sustainability of future uses prioritised
SaveCrumlinRoadCourthouse retweeted
The Courthouse has a beautiful frontage, but sadly, like so many Belfast buildings, it has been left to the elements despite much talk.🏛️🏚️

The contrasting fortunes of two Victorian buildings on the same Belfast street.
One transformed into a popular tourist attraction, the other lying empty and derelict.

We gained access this week to Crumlin Road Jail and to the Courthouse opposite it to have a look at how we value - or don't value - our built heritage.

We need to take pride in these old buildings and work to keep them, like other cities do.
