The Erne opened on 7 October 1946, a month before the Abbey with “The Valley of Decision” starring Greer Garson and Gregory Peck. A fire closed the cinema in 1969 when the balcony and roof were damaged. The Rock Hall in the town was brought back into service for screenings on a temporary basis but it looks like the Erne never reopened. There was talk of it being used as a factory for fishing equipment.
