17 wonderful photographs of Derry in the ‘rare oul times’

In 1999 the Heritage Library staged a wonderful exhibition of photographs of old Derry at the Holywell Trust.

The collection entitled 'Yesterday...so far away' was loaned to the library by the Servite Priory, Benburb, Co. Tyrone.

Many of the photographs of demolished streets such as Duddy's Row, Wellington Street and Bridge Street of old, had never been seen before by the wider public.

The 'Journal' featured some of the photographs in October of that year.
