In Belfast, Northern Ireland, the War Memorial stands as a place of remembrance. Opened in 2007 on Talbot Street, this site offers a space for reflection on significant events. It holds the Home Front Exhibition, documenting experiences from a challenging period. The memorial also honours those who lost their lives during the Belfast blitz.

This location succeeded an earlier building, Memorial House, which was situated in Waring Street. That previous site had been affected by bombing in 1941. The current memorial, created by Carolyn Mulholland, serves as the nation's first tribute specifically for the many lives tragically ended in the Belfast blitz.
