The Orange Hall, Clifton Street, Belfast, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, was opened on January 27th, 1885. To mark the bi-centenary of the “Glorious Revolution” of 1688 an equestrian bronze statue, by Henry Hems of Exeter city, of King William III was placed on the Hall, the cost was £600. The statue on the roof is the only one of King William on any Orange hall in Ireland. Also on the imposing frontage of the Hall is placed the City of Belfast Crest along with the motto “pro tanto quid retribuamus”.

The stirrups, saddle and pistol holders of the bronze statue were actual castings of the original items used by King William while the uniform was copied from specimens preserved in the Tower of London. So both artistically and historically the statue is almost perfect.

The hall is now surrounded at lower levels by a a protective cage to prevent arson and vandalism.

Some good work is now being done on our streets, and we hope more will be accomplished ere the fall sets in. A sidewalk from the railway crossing to Orange Hall is needed.
