What is recorded here

Pair of concrete ball alleys, built c.1950, with steps and steel railings to viewing platform.

Handball alleys form an important part of the social history of Ireland. A very popular sport throughout the twentieth century, handball rapidly declined in popularity in the latter half of the twentieth century. As a result, handball alleys are now often disused and are often threatened by demolition. This pair of ball alley remains in good condition in the school grounds. The well constructed and railed viewing platform is an unusual feature of the pair.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
