Less than a mile from the city centre, opposite the beautiful Ormeau Park, and close to the banks of the Lagan River, lies Neptune Belfast. It’s a store with a story to tell. Formerly the Ormeau Bakery, it was once home to Ormo Bread – the largest independent bakery in Ireland. The building dates back to 1875, and while it’s been renovated (with roof gardens by designer, Diarmuid Gavin), the original façade has been preserved along with various architectural heritage elements, such as the carved mouldings and the landmark clock.
