Description
This is a single-story, single-bay ball alley pavilion situated at the junction of Drumlough Road and Lurgancahone Road, near Rathfriland, Newry, County Down. Constructed between 1920 and 1939, it is valued for its local importance associated with its former use as a ball alley pavilion.
The building features a pitched roof covered with artificial slate tiles. A cat slide extends from the front pitch, creating a veranda supported by four square concrete posts. The ridge is finished with terracotta tiles, including a finial tile on the right gable. A rendered and coped chimney is present on the left gable. The exterior is characterized by half-round metal rainwater goods and cement-rendered walls. The principal north-facing elevation has two 3/3 sliding sash windows with horns and concrete sills, where the central pane in each window is wider. A timber ribbed door, set within a semi-elliptical head and accessed by a single concrete step, is located on the right end. A concrete veranda platform extends across the front of the building. The underside of the roof is lined with tongue-and-groove (t+g) sheet material. The left and right gables are blank. The rear elevation has a tongue-and-groove sheeted door on the left end with a timber-sheeted transom above. To its right is a window matching the façade, fitted with obscured glass.
The former ball alley area now serves as a concrete play area; a small gravelled car park is located to the rear. The building was not documented on Ordnance Survey maps up to the 1919 edition, nor in valuation books up to 1930, indicating a later date. Following the disuse of the ball alley, the pavilion was used by Lurgancahone School as a playground building, before the school’s closure and the pavilion's subsequent vacancy.
