Castle Street in Ballymena

Castle Street in Ballymena hasn’t looked quite like this for a good few years. Castle Street is the home to two churches – St Patricks and Ballymena Elim. In this picture we can see the iconic tower which was our original town hall. Castle Street is home to Waveney Eyecare which sits on the corner of Castle Street and Church Street. Waveney eyecare can perform your eye test and fit you with designer frames, or help you to choose something which costs less but looks equally as good. They perform repairs and ultrasonic cleaning for glasses – click here...
