Work to the windows has been undertaken since this art was originally painted (in 2023) by Friz (web) and Gerry Norman (ig); two windows have been bricked up with multi-coloured bricks (best seen in the image immediately below), while others have been extended and narrowed, resulting in patches of black bricks (see the third and fourth images).
The piece is inspired by the seventeenth-century Belfast Castle. Castle Arcade is so-called because it is the site the original castle of Belfast, built by the Normans in the late 12th century and then rebuilt by Arthur Chichester in 1611. Chichester’s castle had “spacious gardens which extended from the river along to Cromac Woods and near Stranmillis” with “orchards, bowling greens and cherry gardens … fish ponds,” for “hunting, hawking, and other sports”. It was destroyed by fire in 1708, after which the area became commercialised as a market (ArchiSeek | Mary Lowry | BBC | Belfast Entries).

Here are a kingfisher, heron, badger, owl, squirrel, fox, and hedgehog by Glen Molloy (ig) in Knockwood Park, Clarawood, east Belfast. The closest place one might be able to see any of these creatures – particularly herons – is in the Marsh-Wiggle pond, along the Connswater (East Side Greenways).
