Bridge near Ballyroney

See Image This is the bridge on the Seafin Road (looking towards Ballyroney) over the Bann. It dates from 1878. The grid line runs through the parapet on the right. The name “Seafin” came into use around the mid-17th century. Before then the area was known as “Castle MacCoole”. The “MacCoole” being the big fella from north Antrim who was fond of a stroll over to Scotland. It seems that he also built a castle near here.
