    Weather forecast for the weekend is very good.

    Time to get out the BBQ's and sunscreen.

    It was a fabulous evening out on Tralee Bay, with a huge turnout for Thursday evening sailing.

    What a fantastic sunset this evening, picture postcard stuff.

    Should be a scorcher tomorrow.

    :)

    Thats the one I was thinking of, not Jim Caballs. So it was a cinema, the bowling alley, fabric and then abandoned. When exactly was it the town hall?

    It was the county hall before the Ash Memorial Hall was built sometime in the 1930's. The Ash Memorial was one of very few public buildings completed during the depression of the 30s. The used to show movies there as well.

    I think the Theatre Royal closed some time in the early 70's. One of the last shows there was "Soldier Blue" and the poster stayed up in the window for many years. It was the home for Siamsa Tire until the 80s when they moved to the town park.

    Yeah I used to buy cans of Bulmers for €2 before 11, then we'd put them altogether on one table and drink them through the night, and have a few shots before 11 too. €20 would give you the greatest night ever :p Hide your coat and bag behind some random couch, be in early enough to avoid paying, cheap and awesome night. I spent 5-6 nights a week there for a year, don't know how I didn't die :o:p

    They used to have loads of £1 bottle of bud promotions etc as well. You would really feel it the next morning. I think they were generally on midweek. 3 or 4 of us could have 30 bottles on one of those small circular tables - it was like a forest of bottles and you end up trying one after one to find the last one's.

    Spot on,it was in the middle of Madchester so you had a lot of kids with Stone roses haircuts clutching their cheap bottles of bud. Great times before ecstacy came along and destroyed it all

    Just because you say "wait for the post reports" dont make that post alright. I get reported so many times for a lot less than that and all you get is a bunch of 'THANKS' BULL****!!

    Mods can't respond to all reports instantly, we're not online 24/7, and sometimes no action is required.

    Oh and did you read The Hill Billy's post about discussing mod decisions in the thread?? Might be worth scrolling up and taking a read of it.

    On the topic of the building that is now the closed fabric, wasn't it Siamsa Tíre for a while before the new theatre was built in the park?

    You could be right there, a bit before my time but I was told it was 60's.
    There are a few other shots from Tralee [and Kerry] from the same collection some marked 1964. I think the were posted here before.

    The photographer is unknown, apparently the shots was taken by tourist they were found in NY an uploaded to flickr by the guy who found them, Major Calloway

    That new cafe Yummy have printed and framed a load of them an they look great.

    I love this one which was taken just a few doors up, cycling a breast for the win !

    Incidentally the facade of the building at the very left of the shop is sill intact, the shop is now a talk/internet cafe.

    Thanks Kingdumb, Do you know the year of the photo? My guess from the cars is about 1966. The other cinema was the theatre royal where Fabric is now.
