◾️ After a month on the run young Henry Joy McCracken was captured whilst trying to escape to America. He was tried for treason here at the Assembly Rooms and hanged on High Street at Cornmarket, Belfast on 17th July, 1798. “Of my death, tell Russell I have done my duty.”…

@1798walkingtour I sincerely hope that building is allowed to go the same way as MaryAnn McCracken's House further along Waring Street directly in front of what is now the Merchant Hotel. It was Benny Conlon's pub in the early 1990s and then demolished in the late 90s.

@1798walkingtour @DebShoes72 That should be a museum. Must get a tour booked Sean.
