Check this little slice of the past out. At first glance, can you tell where this is and guess what year? Any stories about what Clark’s Spa was?

 If last week’s Throwback Thursday photo looked familiar, it’s because it was Christmas Night 1884 in Belfast and the opening of the roller skating rink in the Coliseum, the large building on lower Main Street. By 8 o'clock in the evening there were over 600 people present, 350 were seated in the gallery overlooking the floor and 250 were skating. The Coliseum was destroyed in the fire of April 1974 and the lot was never re-built upon, it is now the Washington Street parking lot. Info and photo courtesy Belfast Historical Society and Museum

Note: So we don’t give the photo away, the photo credit will be revealed in next week’s Throwback Thursday.

Happy New Year!
