1920 - 1950
Pair of handball alleys, built c.1935, with rendered dividing wall and buttresses to exterior elevations.
This structure stands as an important reminder of a past era when most towns and villages had a handball alley. Of social significance in a town, such structures are becoming increasingly rare in Ireland.
