A Northern Ireland construction company has completed the restoration of a 200-year-old Courthouse building.<br /><br />Ballymena based Martin & Hamilton Construction have completed the €7.8m (over £6.5million) conservation and extension of this Victorian Grade B listed building situated on the Main Street in the centre of Bushmills village.<br /><br />The Courthouse dates back to 1834, constructed by the local landowners, the MacNaghten family, as a Petty Claims court. The building had been derelict for over 50 years and so had suffered extreme deterioration internally.<br /><br />Following the successful completion of the scheme, The Courthouse Shared Space Creative Hub officially opened at the weekend.<br /><br />Credit martin & hamilton and AirviewsNI
