20 photographs of Derry from March 1993
U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jr. took a break from the band’s ZOO TV tour to visit Derry, Annie Courtney held her charity ball at the Guildhall, prospective students had a look around during Magee College’s Open Day, and Ulsterbus workers went to a retreat at Termonbacca.
It was all happening in March 1993. Here is a selection of photographs taken by the ‘Journal’ 30 years ago.
