Paranormal Investigations
Over the years there has been reports of a ghostly form seen in the cinema balcony, a usherette that does not know her job is done and numerous shadow forms.
There has also been reports of poltergeist activity in the bar and around the Memo and additional reports of music without a source from within locked rooms and sounds of people moving in an empty room.
This hall was built in the 1920s to commemorate the 75 men from Newbridge who died in the First World War. It was opened in March 1925.
The Institute building – next door to the hall – was used as security for the mortgage which paid for the hall’s construction.
The auditorium occupying most of the interior was designed for use as a theatre and a cinema. Below it is a ballroom. The interior is a fine example of the Art Deco style which was popular in the 1920s. The original features are so well preserved that the building is listed Grade II*.
The “Memo”, as the building is fondly known, reopened in 2014 after renovation.
