The Corncrane Building
This large two storey building was primarily used for storing,
selling and the weighing of grain at the turn of the centuryt.
It acted as an 'epicentre' of the trade for the Castlewellan
and surrounding area, with some products being exchanged in
the immediate locality, whilst others followed the international
route via Dundrum Harbour. The building has since varied its
use from Parachial and Governmental functions to the modern
community commercial enterprise activities which it now offers.
However this local landmark still has an underlying premise
of serving its local community through
offering educational training, providing information on health
and social welfare, energy efficiency advice, youth activities
and other environmental, and social facets that the town area
may possess.
The prime focus of Castlewellan Regeneration Ltd in the past
has been on enviornmental improvements in the town, projects
including Hillyard
House and the reovation of the Corncrane Building in the
Lower Square. C.R.L. have always helped promote Castlewellan
as a tourist destination, and in 2000.2001, C.R.L. secured funding
in conjunction with D.A.R.D. to implement a Gateway Centre/T.I.P.
inf the reception area fot eh Corncrane. This has made a significatn
impact and attracted a number of visitors.tourists seeking information,
Castlewellan Regenration Ltd will continue to highlight Castlewellan's
tourism potential in order to boost the economic regeneration
of the town and surrounding area. |
