NOSTALGIA: Derry and Inishowen in pictures - June 1997

In June 1997 Seagate Technology revealed details of a huge multi-million pound expansion of its Springtown plant in Derry which is expected to create up to 1,100 new jobs in the city; driftnet fishermen in Donegal finalised arrangements to block the Foyle when they meet at the Greencastle Resource Centre on Sunday afternoon; and the visit of Mussolini’s right-hand man to Derry in the 1930s, the story of how a Derry writer penned a play on the marching issue and an unusual encounter between a Lebanese flautist and members of a Derry Protestant marching band were just some of the features in an issue of Northern Ireland’s cultural traditions journal, Causeway. As ever, the ‘Journal’ photographers were doing the rounds.
