    whats on the lower left corner?
  • Robin Parkes said:
    TJ Shutter speeds would be in seconds rather than fractions of a second so any movement will lead to ghosting but I'm sure you would have know that. The Google streetview is fascinating. Wrong part of the country for me to have any meaningful input.

  • Robin Parkes said:
    Gerry Ward I see the ballustrade in your photo so it must have been dismantled for painting or galvanising when the Google car went up the street.
  • Swordscookie said:
    Gerry Ward Very nice one Gerry. It just goes to show how little has changed in so many of our towns and country places in spite of all that has happened in the intervening years.

Weavers' Hall

    In 1750 the Guild erected a statue of George II on the front of their hall ‘as a mark of their sincere loyalty’.

Down from the Diamond

    The Guildhall was opened in July 1890. The clock has not been installed at the time of this photo. Google Street View
  • heady school said:
    Everyone very well dressed. No barefoot urchins about.
  • Gerry Ward said:
    The Guildhall Clock was installed in 1891.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Gerry Ward Aha, thanks Gerry! So then 1890 is looking correct for this photo: a) absence of clock; and b) flags in celebration of the opening?
  • Swordscookie said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons It's donkeys years since I was in Derry and I'm amazed at the steepness of the street there. It either was or had just stopped raining. Most of the flags are either meaningless or displayed out of their natural environment.
