The Newry and Mourne Museum on the Bagenal's Castle site
This building was erected as a commercial warehouse in the 19thC and its eastern extension hid much of the frontage of the 16thC tower house known as Bagenal's Castle. Later. the building became a bakery. The Lidl logo at the entrance to the car park advertises the presence of a Lidl store in the Bagenal's Retail Park situated behind the museum.
