Where’s your favourite place in Ireland for ice cream? Let me know in the comments.

Clifton House is one of Belfast’s most important historic buildings. Opened in 1774 by Belfast Charitable Society, it was originally the city’s Poor House, providing shelter and support for some of Belfast’s poorest and most vulnerable people.

It is also closely connected with Mary Ann McCracken, one of Belfast’s most remarkable women. A philanthropist, abolitionist and social reformer, Mary Ann worked to improve the lives of poor children, supported education and apprenticeships and campaigned against slavery at a time when Belfast was growing as a powerful industrial city.

Her legacy is still felt today through Clifton House and the work of Belfast Charitable Society. This is one of those places that helps you understand not just the history of Belfast, but the people who helped shape its conscience.
