Remembering in Derry

    The Apprentice Boys Memorial Hall. Still there, I can't get quite this angle in Streetview.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Per the DIA, opened 1877, extended 1935-37.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    L_ROY_04317 nearby in the catalogue is a general view of Derry and includes the clock face in the guildhall from 1891

    Flickr is sometimes amazing! In 2015 via Tony Tomlin I am sure we have discussed this building and its extensions before, but cannot find where ...
  • Niall McAuley said:
    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?

Walker's Monument, Derry City, Co. Derry

    Built from 1826 to 1828, per the DIA

    Streetview of the now empty plinth. Another angle Bing bird's eye view
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The pillar was 90 feet in height surmounted by the statue of Rev. George Walker “of heroic size”(20 feet), with one hand outstretched towards the site of the river barrier/boom. Internally a spiral staircase of 105 steps (The Siege lasted 105 days – the longest in British History) allowed access to the viewing platform on top. The pillar and statue were destroyed by a bomb explosion in August 1973. Only the pedestal remains to this day. A 2010 story on the destruction of the pillar.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Ooh, dating info from that story: Originally, the left hand held a sword, but during a night of storm in the early part of this century the sword was blown down.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    And today, what's left of him.

    The house seems to have been replace by the clubhouse of the Golf club.

    Edit: looking at entirely the wrong spot!

    Low Rock Castle demolished without permission in 2001.

    Field Marshal, not General, White had quite an interesting career.

    Some more information about the building with a picture of what's there now.

    There is another earlier? (better paint) photo, with a distinguished looking fellow seated outside. I wonder if it is Field Marshal Sir George Stuart White, VC, GCB, OM, GCSI, GCMG, GCIE, GCVO (6 July 1835 – 24 June 1912). Wouldn't that be something! - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000336471
  • beachcomber australia said:
    From Wikipedia - " ... White became Governor of Gibraltar in May 1900 and,[34] in that role, was promoted to full general on 9 October 1900 and to field marshal on 8 April 1903. ..."
    Which suggests this photo with reference to "General White" is between October 1900 and April 1903. Perhaps.
