DerryOfThePast

Derry is full of history, much more than most and I want to share it with you.
Join me in a photographic journey through the history of our city.

@ctpalin Mary had a little lamb
Little lamb, little lamb
Mary had a little lamb
It's fleece was white as snow
Everywhere that Mary went
Mary went, Mary went
Everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go
Outbound.

1/3 Today we share a Larry Doherty picture, from maybe August 1969, of the visit to the Bogside by Jim Callaghan, then British Home Secretary.

The image includes John Hume, Vinny Coyle and Paddy ‘Bogside’.

2/3 Who recalls the visit by Callaghan and his famous speech from an upstairs window in Lecky Road, because the welcoming Derry crowd was so huge, he could not proceed further?
