.Primark is set to reopen its shop at the historic Bank Buildings in Belfast after major fire in 2018
By Clodagh Rice & Emma CanavanPrimark is to reopen its shop at the historic Bank Buildings in Belfast on Tuesday after a "huge undertaking" to restore it following a major fire.
"I think all of us looked at the shell that was remaining and wondered was it possible to save it," said Stephen Douglas. "Also the social history side of it - everyone in Belfast has some connection with the building, whether we shopped in the building or worked in the building, everyone would have a story to tell.
"[We had to] learn how the building was constructed in the first place as we took it down, to number every stone and detail its condition and then restore it or put it back new."A safety cordon put in place around Bank Buildings meant 14 nearby businesses were not able to trade for several months.
"That was hard - we had such a narrow piece of pavement still open here that people thought the street was closed, unless you knew the city centre," she said.Image caption,
