"Roaring Meg was also the name of a cannon used during the Siege of Derry in 1689. This one is preserved on Derry's city walls but is currently undergoing restoration." from - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roaring_Meg_(cannon)

From the Derry Journal I linked to above: Roaring Meg, named because of its ferocious sound in battle, was used during the Siege of Derry. One account of the famous cannon from the time of the Siege in the Seventeenth Century said: "The noise of its discharge was more terrifying than the contents of the charge to the enemy." The barrel of the cannon bears the inscription 'Fishmongers London 1642,' marking the fact that the cannon was one of 24 cannon sent to the Derry by the City of London and the London Companies after the 1641 siege.

The Morning Chronicle (London), Thursday, December 28, 1826, (quoting the Londonderry Journal) on the occasion of the unveiling of a stone marking the 138th anniversary of the shutting of the gates.
In the meantime the various bodies of the 'Prentice boys, attended by multitudes who sympathised with their feelings of enthusiastic gratitude, marched, with the Londonderry Legions, to the several gates, over which, respectively, they fired three volleys, then to King William's-square, where they fired thrice. Roaring Meg performed her obstreperous duty on the occasion, unimpaired by age, and in defiance of the envious tooth of Time, which corrodes the most perdurable of metals and "steals our years away".

From the Irish Independent, 3 August 1906:
An eighteen-pounder cannon used with destructive effect during the siege of Derry City (1688-9) by the defenders against the assailment of King James’s troops. This piece of ordnance, which is eleven feet long, was presented to the city by the Fishmongers’ Company, London, whose name and title are lettered in the casting on the breech, with the date, 1642. The Apprentice Boys used the old gun for ceremonial firing on Celebration Days (12th August and 18th December in each year). The gun got the name “Roaring Meg” from the extreme loudness of her report. When fired within the city the breakage of glass (then costly) was considerable, and this was especially resented by Catholic residents. In 1832 “Meg” ceased to roar. On the morning of a Celebration in that year it was discovered the gun was spiked, and the body of a tailor’s goose (iron) wedged into her bore. The Dublin Exhibition Executive seek to get “”Roaring Meg” on loan during the Exposition.

In L_CAB_03655 we are looking up the street, and can see the First Presbyterian church before it got its 1903 Tetrastyle Roman Corinthian Portico. Would the portico be visible here if present? Hard to say. But check the lamps on the pillars outside that church - in todays they are clearly square gas lanterns, in 03655 they are globes. foyle civic trust has a different reverse view with the portico and square gas lamps, quoting 1910. And L_ROY_02886 is another reverse view, no portico, squared lamps. So maybe the round lamp one is the earliest?
