The Grove Road gable of Spa's Assembly Rooms
This fine building dates back to the 1840s and was built by the Ker family of innovative local landowners as a ball-room for visitors to the Spa. The building has been variously known as the ball room, the assembly rooms, and the Spa road-house. The Spa was particularly popular with visitors from Belfast from the 1790s. The Spa thrived until the construction in 1869 of a railway from Belfast to the seaside town of Newcastle after which The Spa went into rapid decline. The building now houses a masonic lodge.
