Minor Cinema,
Ballon. The
Cinema was located in Ballon, County Carlow. One expects
from the title that the cinema was rather bijou but it
did have a fair crack of the whip since first appearing
the listings in February 1953. The last mention of it in
the press was in October 1957. Further information on
the exact location of the cinema would be welcomed.

Are there any other buildings around
County Carlow which were used as cinemas and haven't suffered
the wrath of the bulldozer? Please email me with the details.
