    Designed by Bertie Crewe.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley While I see you there, this one and the one of the Palace blow any theory about basing dates on Lawrence negative numbers out of the water. The Palace photo is Lawrence Royal 8983, and there's nary a sign of the Hippodrome. This one is Lawrence Royal 8383 - and the Hippodrome is built and up and running...

    I see three references to the Van Host Trio in the Irish Times from 1907 to 1910, on the 12th, 15th and 17th of July 1908.

    Notice the vanishing horse and man on the right, clearly the scene was posed for French's camera.

    Post 1905 anyway for the trams are electric. I can't add anymore apart from this streetview maps.google.com/maps?q=Great+victoria+Street,+Belfast&...

    Can't help with the Palace, but Mr Chas Majiltons's celebrated company performed Geo R. Sims' famous farcical comedy "the Gay City" (which has achieved an Enormous Success throughout the Country) from Sept 11th - 16th 1882 at the New Theatre Royal. (Private Boxes 40s, 30s, 25s and 20s; Balcony Stalls 4s; Upper Circle 2s; Pit 1s; Gallery 6d.) (Belfast Newsletter.) So 'The Trippers' wasn't his first trip to Belfast

    Michiel2005 I don't believe it! Younger brother of Harry Houdini - that's excellent.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Robin Parkes Thanks Robin. I've a hunch around 1910, but now we know definitely post-1905.
