Iveagh Cinema, Huntly Road, Banbridge, Co Down, BT32 3BS

A large, free-standing single-screen cinema designed in 1955 and set to the southwest of Huntly Road, northwest of Banbridge town centre. The building has since been demolished and replaced with a housing development.

The front elevation faces approximately east and presents a symmetrical, modernist design divided into three flat-topped bays. The central bay, significantly larger than the flanking bays, is faced in cream-coloured faience. The outer bays are finished in brown brick with simple modernist panels. All three bays are bordered by narrow moulded concrete edging.

The ground floor of the central bay features a broad deep recess flanked by smaller recesses. The central recess contained a long door screen of three sets of glazed double doors in varnished timber frames. Each flanking recess also contained a similar pair of glazed double doors. Directly above the entrance recesses sits a flat projecting canopy with curved ends. The underside was plain rendered with a series of lights, and the front edge was faced in plastic with letters displaying film names and presumed internal illumination.

Above the canopy runs a long window band with plain raised moulded concrete surround containing ten panes in a metal frame. Above this appears the cinema's name, 'Iveagh' (named after the barony), rendered in large raised lettered serif form. The outer bays are faced in brown brick with whitened mortar joints. Above ground level in each bay stand pilasters composed of four square cast concrete panels in simple modernist style. At ground floor level, each bay contains a large timber and glazed display panel for film posters.

The south elevation presents a plain functional appearance, finished in plain painted render with projecting structural piers. Roughly to the centre are three plain projections housing service spaces. The leftmost is a single-storey structure with a flat roof and a deep recess containing a plain sheeted double door to its south face. To the right of this stands a taller, also flat-roofed projection with a plain sheeted door on its west face and a high-level barred window on its south face. Merging with this on the right is a much lower section with a lean-to roof and a plain sheeted door to its south face. Above this rises a tall, square rendered chimneystack, finishing above the main eaves line. Further right, the south elevation includes a window, and at the right end stands a tall flat-roofed plain rendered bay (the south face of the outer front bay), featuring a row of three small square single-pane windows with moulded concrete surrounds at ground floor level.

The north elevation is generally similar to the south, with a single projection to the right of centre. This single-storey projection has four boarded windows to its north face, one to the east, and one to the west. To its immediate right is a double door with a thick projecting surround. The far left of this elevation contains four windows of varying sizes, and further left stands the tall flat-roofed end bay, matching the corresponding southern bay but with a row of windows at second floor level.

The west elevation is a large shallow gable, finished similarly to the north and south elevations but with no openings or projections.

The roof comprises flat sections covered in asphalt and a much larger gabled portion in corrugated asbestos cement sheeting. Metal rainwater goods are present. A tree and shrub island sits to the front of the forecourt.
