OF TIMES GONE BY: Derry and Inishowen in pictures - July 1996

In July 1996 Fr. Charles Toland, formerly of Rossville Street, celebrated 40 years ministering in Zululand; Derry man Dermot Duffy broke Mr. Jack McClelland’s 31 year record by more than two hours for a swim from Tory Island to Magheroarty (near Gortahork) in Co. Donegal; and John Carey, a dancer with strong Donegal roots received three standing ovations for his magnificent performance in the spectacular ‘Lord of the Dance’ show. The ‘Journal’ photographers were also doing the rounds.
