Did you know the most controversial building in Northern Ireland was once covered in cow manure? 💩 In this walking tour of the Stormont Estate near Dundonald on the outskirsts of East Belfast, I'm revealing the hidden secrets, architectural Easter eggs, and "Disney-style" tricks you’ve never noticed before!
From the 365-foot length symbolizing the calendar year to the "secrets" of the tree lines designed to trick your eye (just like Main Street USA!), Stormont is full of surprises. We explore the grounds to find a genuine WW2 bomb crater, the anchor points for the city's barrage balloons, and the Mo Mowlam Park.
In this video:
The Camouflage Secret: Why they painted the Parliament building with manure and bitumen during the war.
The Architecture Code: The hidden meaning behind the 6 floors, 6 columns, and 365-foot facade.
The Disney Connection: How the architect used forced perspective on the Prince of Wales Avenue.
The Grounds: A look at the reconciliation statue, the controversial Lord Carson statue, and the WW2 history hidden in the grass.
Whether you're a local or visiting Belfast for the first time, you'll never look at this building the same way again.
