In the
Past photograph only the roads have changed.There was no Catholic church in
Antrim before 1818 and so mass was held at various outdoor locations. The
first chapel was replaced in 1870 with its Italian-style tower and is at the
junction of Castle Street and Oriel Road. At one time the walls were painted
black but thankfully they have restored them to their natural state, but it
is still known locally as the Black Chapel.
