THE DIAMOND, LONDONDERRY
History:
The Diamond War Memorial was designed by siblings
Sydney March
and
Vernon March
.
The brothers came from a large family that included eight children who became artists and established a studio at their family home of Goddendene in
Farnborough
, Kent, England.
The monument was sculpted by one of the brothers, Vernon March, who, together with his siblings, was also responsible for monuments such as the
National War Memorial of Ottawa
.
Vernon was considered to be a prodigy, with the distinction of being the youngest exhibitor in the
Royal Academy of Arts
, having been just 16 years old when his statue of
Psyche
was shown and purchased on the third day of the exhibition.
Vernon March also sculpted miniatures of the Diamond War Memorial that are housed within
Saint Columb's Cathedral
in Derry.
The Memorial is of bronze and
Portland stone
, a limestone mined from the quarries of the
Isle of Portland
, Dorset, England. The memorial has a height of almost forty feet and a width of twenty-seven feet. A centre monument, including a
winged victory
statue holding high a
laurel wreath
, has the names of the fallen engraved in raised letters on four sides.
Near the base of the memorial, there are two smaller bronze monuments, a soldier on one side representing the Army and a sailor on the other side representing the Navy. The
walled city
of Derry, nicknamed the
Maiden City
, has four main gates, with roads that lead to a central Diamond, the heart of the city.
The
cenotaph
is located in the centre of The Diamond.
PRENTICE BOYS MEMEORIAL HALL, LONDONDERRY
History:
The hall was opened in 1877, dedicated to the memory of the thirteen apprentice boys who closed the city gates in 1688. In 1937 the hall was extended along Society Street. The extension is dedicated to the memory of those who died in the
Great War
of 1914–1918. The hall is an architecturally important building within the walled city.
It now houses the headquarters of the association, with its office and debating chamber. All new members are initiated in the hall. Other organizations such as the Orange Order and
Royal Black Preceptory
have separate accommodations in the hall. It also houses a social club and a museum. The hall is usually open to the public during the summer months, July to September. It has received in 2012 funding from the
European Union
to create a new visitors centre.

CRAIGAVON BRIDGE, LONDONDERRY
History:
Craigavon Bridge is one of three bridges to be built in the area. The first bridge over the River Foyle was a wooden one, assembled in the
United States
and transported to
Derry
. It was built from 1789–1791, and sited between Bridge Street and Fountain Hill, about 90 metres north of the present bridge.
The structure included a drawbridge because the inhabitants of
Strabane
had navigational rights on the river.
In 1863, the steel Carlisle Bridge was erected, a little further upstream, almost where Craigavon Bridge is today, to replace the old wooden bridge.
