Irish Handball Alley: other projects and articles on the handball alley

This website was created as part of a research project into the architectural and cultural value of the Irish Handball Alley - initiated and undertaken by architect Áine Ryan, with support from the Heritage Council of Ireland in 2008 and 2009 under the Architecture Research Grants Scheme, and from the Thomas Dammann Junior Memorial Trust in 2011.

The website quickly became a popular user-generated resource for sharing photographs and stories about handball alleys, with regular contributions from E.Timoney, M.Geogeghan, G.Loughran, S. Ryan & T.J. Ryan.

After a lull of some years, the website was reinstated in September 2018. Enda Timoney is active on the ground, visiting the remaining alley locations. Currently, information sent by email over the past few years is being added. Longer term aims include a downloadable list of locations.
