In "Derry," you can walk along the great
17th-century walls, about a mile round and 18 feet thick, which have
withstood several sieges and even today are unbroken and complete, with old
cannons still pointing their black noses over the ramparts. The Guildhall, looking much like its counterpart in London, is just outside the walls. Its stained glass windows illustrate almost every episode of note in the city's history. The story flows up the staircase and floods all the chambers with brilliant light. The main thoroughfare, Shipquay Street, is very steep, with narrow little streets running off it and a craft village tucked in behind the O'Doherty tower. From the quay behind the Guildhall hundreds of thousands of Irish emigrants sailed to a new life in the New World. |
