The Bridewell, Magherafelt

In past centuries The Bridewell in Magherafelt was where local citizens were locked up for their misdemeanors, unable to communicate with the outside world. In stark contrast, the doors of today's Bridewell building are well and truly open, the bank of computers inside allowing people to communicate with others world-wide. Formerly the Court House and jail, The Bridewell now contains Magherafelt's new Library, which was officially opened on 19th June 2002 by Culture, Arts and Leisure Minister Michael McGimpsey.
