Does anyone have any photos, or information, about Coleraine's Manor House?

The Manor stood on the site of what is now County Hall, Coleraine, and was still standing in the early sixties when County Hall was built. I have seen the architects' drawings of County Hall, and the Manor and it's gardens are shown on these, just to the rear of what is now the public carpark. I would be very interested in anything that anyone can tell me about the history of the site, the Manor (In it's final form, and earlier) and what else stood on the site before the County Hall was built.

The building demolished in the 60's would appear to have been Victorian, but there must have been a building on the site long before that.

I would really like to see any photos which anyone might have.

Thanks in advance.

The Manor House was built in the grounds of the former Coleraine Castle. The castle was built nearer to the Waterside and the roadway beside the Waterside carpark was known as Castle Lane. Later Jackson Hall was on the site and then the Manor House. Photos are in local publications such as Memories in Focus and The Bann Disc.

I believe it was some sort of medical centre in the late fifties/ early sixties. I recall my mother taking me there to collect cod liver oil, rose hip syrup and a thick brown health supplement called Virol (?!). I still take the cod liver oil!
