Radio Kilbirnie
Bridgend

Built
in 1937,
seating 1200 in stadium arrangement. Had
been empty for many years, but has now been
extensively redeveloped as a community centre, somewhat appropriately
incorporating a radio station! The exterior has been carefully
restored, and a facsimile replacement mast
added. See here
for a closeup detail
of the facade, or here
for a shot
just before the mast was replaced.
A new photo here taken at night shows the wonderful new neon display... A photo c1993, courtesy Norrie Mcnamee, shows the Radio as the George bingo hall; and another one here c1996 courtesy Chris Doak.
