In June 1982 people gathered in the Long Tower Church to pay the traditional tribute to Derry’s patron saint on his feast day and also to extend a warm-hearted welcome to members of the Discalced Carmelite Order; work to transform the Redcastle Hotel into a Grade A hotel which offered sports, recreational and residential facilities among the best in Ireland were completed; and it was reported that Derry’s new bridge could be completed by Christmas 1983, and in use in early 1984. As ever the ‘Journal’ photographers were on their beat.
