The Market Yard, Coleraine
Image: © Albert Bridge Taken: 29 Feb 2012
The long-disused market yard of 1829 is nearing the end of a major restoration. When complete it is expected to house the Coleraine museum – currently using the town hall. This archway, in Lime Market Street, includes a replacement and relocated curfew bell “The bell was rung to call the arms at times of political unrest and to denote curfew time. Later it was used to inform townsfolk of local court sittings and the hour of the day. The original bell was replaced and relocated to hang over the entrance to the Market Yard in Lime Market Street where it hangs to this day” – a quotation from this site http://www.northcoastni.com/explore/coleraine/ .
