The Bridewell Centre
If you are someone who enjoys delving into local history, the Old Courthouse and Jail, also known as “The Bridewell Centre,” is a must-visit.
It was actually built in 1862-63 on a piece of land owned by none other than Sir Edward Waller himself. In the days of old, the Courthouse was occasionally used as a means of trying minor offences, but more often than not it was used for preliminary hearings for the more serious crimes before they were referred to a higher circuit court.
As you step inside, the building will instantly transport you back in time with its 8 cells, 2 day rooms, and 2 beautiful limestone staircases. In fact, during a recent refurbishment of the cells, the most peculiar thing happened when writing was discovered on one of the cell’s walls. This unique piece of history adds an even more interesting layer to the Courthouse’s story.
Although it holds a great deal of history, nowadays, the building serves a different purpose and is utilized by FAS and the Peter Dee Academy of Music.
