Dominican College and Larne Museum and Arts Centre

Episode 4 of 4

Larne Museum and Arts Centre, once a Carnegie library, now preserves local heritage. And Dominican College in Portstewart shares tales of its unique boarding school past.

Larne Museum and Arts Centre, once a Carnegie free library, has now become the guardian of the town's heritage. Locals share memories of its library days and its transformation into a museum, which was led by local visionary John Clifford 鈥� a man with a passion for preserving the history of ordinary lives in extraordinary ways.

Perched on the rugged Northern Irish coastline, Dominican College in Portstewart, with its castle-like grandeur, was once a boarding school run by Dominican nuns. Past pupils, teachers and a Dominican sister bring the building's history to life, sharing tales of 'Port magic', sneaking out to local discos, and the unique experience of living and learning in a castle by the sea.
