new photos confirm Kenmore’s excellent spotting, it’s there in a 1957 aerial and almost fully demolished/partially overgrown by 1974 with the remains of the concession building remaining.

The Jericho Drive-in Jericho, Queensland, Australia may be the smallest drive-in the the world(36 cars, plus a siting area!!?)?

Great find, Kenmore. In retrospect, the name “Drive In Road” was a dead giveaway. I really had to strain at that 1989 Historic Aerials photo to see what might be a screen facing south. With the trees already growing in the view field, it’s hard to tell how large it was just from that.

I believe I found it.

The address is US 601 and Drive in Road, Bamberg, SC which is located just south of the town. A 1989 aerial photo appears to show the remnants of a small drive-in.

Today, the property overgrown with trees and junk vehicles. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.
