Top Hat Ballroom, Fermoy, Co. Cork

Opened on December 17th, 1970, the Top Hat was one of the major ballrooms in the rural South. A press release
at the time described the ballroom as being "one of the newest and most up-to-date ballrooms in the county.
Situated in pleasant rural surrounding, but still verging on the urban districts of the town of Fermoy,
the exterior of the Top Hat is most attractive with ample outer display lighting.
The approach to this new luxury ballroom is straight through the main street in Fermoy.
It is immediately and easily accessible by a large section of the dancing community of a wide and varied clientele in County Cork.
The ballroom closed many years ago and although people have said it is part of the Supervalu which sits on the site,
sadly, we can see no trace of the facade or roof of the old ballroom on Google Earth.
