Looking north-west from Springhill Road are the old courthouse (building on the right), now the library and the Draper's Arms Image] One of two historically significant Market Houses in the village, the first was built c.1818 and is the centrepiece of what was originally a symmetrical range of buildings 13 bays wide. The initial design of 1818 had a cupola but was replaced by the existing turret with a clock on two faces, a 'Rundbogenstil belfry'. The late 1800s saw the first floor of the building being occupied by Moneymore Courthouse. Remarkably, the courtroom still remains intact today.
