Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe "Arcadia", Portrush - geograph.org.uk - 676378.jpg |
English: The "Arcadia", Portrush. See 535892. To bring the story up to date. In 1953 a ballroom was added and the "Arcadia" (sometimes pronounced "Arcadja") became one of the great venues for showbands. The advent of the "Troubles" and the disco resulted in its closure in the mid-70's. It lay vacant for many years quickly becoming an eyesore. There were several schemes for the building including replacement by student accommodation but none materialised. The ballroom was demolished (as, I recall, a dangerous structure). Fortunately the café has survived and is now part of a family attraction operated by the Council. See also 1612570. |
