    Hardly definitive, but the arching on the 2 windows (left background) and the "bay window" (right background) do seem to match the facade in these exterior shots and the below postcard. (Left-most windows as you look at the frontage, with the "bay" window corresponding to the "tower"?).

    I found a mention of it in an 1839 directory. streetdirectories.proni.gov.uk/media/0dy7vD9Z0rFwJKu5-Yxi...

    From this exterior shot in the nli archive, this hotel looks to be the Ramada Hotel today. The OSNI maps of 1896 and 1904 says it is the Northern Counties Hotel. it isn't there at all on the 1853 map. Aha, from a Wikipedia article on the Northern Counties Committee railway: The BNCR purchased a share in the lease of the long standing and well thought of Antrim Arms hotel at Portrush and in 1883 formed a separate company to manage what was renamed the Northern Counties Hotel

    The Antrim Arms was renamed the Northern Counties Hotel in the 1880s (after being acquired by the Belfast & Northern Counties Railway Company in 1881). A quick search for "Northern Counties" throws up a number of nice old pics of Portrush and among them this dining room image (which looks the same as "your one" Carol). So I'd say the label is right. I wonder if the date is right though? Given the renaming could the date be earlier?

    From Wiki The BNCR purchased a share in the lease of the long standing and well thought of Antrim Arms hotel at Portrush and in 1883 formed a separate company to manage what was renamed the Northern Counties Hotel. Situated on an elevated site, the hotel overlooked the Atlantic Ocean at front and back. With more than one hundred rooms, it was intended to accommodate high-class tourists visiting the Giant's Causeway. The hotel was enlarged and improved in 1884 and 1892 and in 1902 the BNCR purchased the freehold outright from the Earl of Antrim. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Counties_Committee

    I can't believe they demolished this after just a year. Bloody vandals!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I believe the arcade was where this massive shed is now: Streetview

    Mildly disappointingly, the barrels aren't the ones from Clare Island.
