The Guildhall - Most Impressive Landmark in Londonderry
The History of Guildhall
The Guildhall is one of Derry's most outstanding landmarks and has been so since the 1800s. An iconic building that has seen many events and witnesses history in the making, Guildhall stands in the center of the city to this day as a must-see spot for visitors in Derry-Londonderry.
Name
It was originally named Victoria Hall as it was a prevailing custom at the time to name locations around the British Empire after the current reigning monarch. The current name of the building comes in honor of its connection to the City of London and its guilds.
Location
The Guildhall building is located in Derry, County Londonderry,
It serves as a meeting place for the elected members of Derry and Strabane District Council. It is also home to the Derry City Council chamber and the Mayor’s Parlour.
Description
As you cross the entrance to The Guildhall, you’ll find a welcoming note “The Guildhall is one of Derry’s most recognizable landmarks and has been at the heart of the city life since 1890.” As you continue down the hall, you’ll have a beautiful view of the majestic painted windows next to tall plaques retelling the history of the building and the region. The Guildhall also contains exhibitions showcasing old books that contain ancient maps and descriptions of the area as well. A maquette also stands detailing what seems to be what the region looked like in old times. The exterior of the building features neo-gothic architectural designs and a majestic clock tower.
The Guildhall includes a large hall where many social and political events have been held over the years, including Halloween carnivals, the Christmas lights switch-on, the Christmas European Market. The square in front of the Guildhall is the main city square in Derry-Londonderry, making it a focal location in the city, as they are also surrounded by shopping, cultural and touristic areas.
Architecture
Originally built by The Honourable The Irish Society. The red sandstone building is of neo-gothic architecture, with Tudor overtones. The Guildhall contains stunning stained glass windows that portray the history of Derry, and were created by a Belfast firm called Campbell's. It is also said that it has the second largest clock face in the British Isles (next to Big Ben). The building is basically made up of Dumfrese sandstone, marble, oak panelling, ornate ceilings and stained glass windows.
Upon entering the building, one encounters a window featuring the Royal Coat of Arms, the Seal of Empire and the symbols of the principal British overseas Dominions, to celebrate imperial unity.
Former mayors and other civic officers also donated windows to be placed in the building, often depicting modern economic developments in the city. Throughout the building, other windows feature the achievements of the three Irish divisions in the British Army.
The most recently placed window in the Guildhall commemorates the victims of Bloody Sunday, 30 January 1972. In the centre, from top to bottom, is a trail of poppies symbolizing remembrance for the dead, whose names are written on crosses. The window was commissioned by Derry City Council.
Frank McDonald of the Irish Times commented on the Irish Georgian Society’s Conservation Awards won for the reconstruction of the building, What impressed the jury (which included myself) about Derry’s Guildhall was not just the internal spatial rearrangement, but also the meticulous work done to the exterior in rebuilding its ornate gable, which had been leaning outwards, as well as complete repointing of the stonework and restoration of the stained glass windows.
Jury member Dr. Eddie McParland noted, “The recarved stonework was excellent, lots of original details were kept and the original ceiling of the council chamber was revealed.”
Construction
The Guildhall was originally built in the 1600s and was located in the Diamond area of the Walled City, but unfortunately it was destroyed by fire and its location was turned later on into a city square. The new Guildhall was opened in July 1890 after three years of construction work to complete the building.
On 21 September 1912, the London Times reported on the building's opening ceremony, declaring that The Londonderry Guildhall is a fine modern building, the chief treasures in which are the stained glass windows presented by the various London Companies that once owned land in Ireland, and have not forgotten the old association.
Major restorations were done to the building in 2010 by contractors H & J Martin. The cost of the restoration work was estimated at £3M, including the stonework, roofs, windows and stained glass, as well as the clock.
As for the construction work done to the interior of Guildhall, it was estimated to have cost around £5M.

Colin McCusker (1916 and Me - Full Interview)
Interview with Cllr Colin McCusker (Ulster Unionist Party) as part of '1916 and Me / 2016 and Us'. Recorded in Queen's University Belfast in July 2016 by Real Smart Media for History Hub.ie.
'1916 and Me/2016 and Us' is a collaboration between University College Dublin School of History, Queen’s University Belfast School of History and Anthropology, UCD Digital Library and HistoryHub.ie, UCD’s public history website. It is funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peace and Reconciliation Fund and involves the recording of a number of short interviews with people talking about what 1916 means to them.
The year 1916 and the events that occurred during it can mean multiple things to different people. By asking simply ‘what does 1916 mean to you?’, this project hopes to explore the political, social, and cultural legacies of the year 1916 in the construction of identity and historical consciousness among people and communities across the island of Ireland, north and south.
'1916 and Me/2016 and Us' consists of recorded interviews with various individuals (academics, community leaders, politicians, artists, writers and members of the public) giving their views on the significance of the events of 100 years ago and also on the meaning of commemoration. Some of the interviews will be featured on UCD's History Hub and all interviews will be deposited in UCD's Digital Library for long term preservation.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using

SUMMARY
=======
Northern Ireland (Irish: Tuaisceart Éireann [ˈt̪ˠuəʃcəɾˠt̪ˠ ˈeːɾʲən̪ˠ] ( listen); Ulster-Scots: Norlin Airlann) is a part of the United Kingdom in the north-east of the island of Ireland, variously described as a country, province or region. Northern Ireland shares a border to the south and west with the Republic of Ireland. In 2011, its population was 1,810,863, constituting about 30% of the island's total population and about 3% of the UK's population. Established by the Northern Ireland Act 1998 as part of the Good Friday Agreement, the Northern Ireland Assembly holds responsibility for a range of devolved policy matters, while other areas are reserved for the British government. Northern Ireland co-operates with the Republic of Ireland in some areas, and the Agreement granted the Republic the ability to put forward views and proposals with determined efforts to resolve disagreements between the two governments.Northern Ireland was created in 1921, when Ireland was partitioned between Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland by the Government of Ireland Act 1920. Unlike Southern Ireland, which would become the Irish Free State in 1922, the majority of Northern Ireland's population were unionists, who wanted to remain within the United Kingdom. Most of these were the Protestant descendants of colonists from Great Britain. However, a significant minority, mostly Catholics, were nationalists who wanted a united Ireland independent of British rule. Today, the former generally see themselves as British and the latter generally see themselves as Irish, while a distinct Northern Irish or Ulster identity is claimed both by a large minority of Catholics and Protestants and by many of those who are non-aligned.For most of the 20th century, when it came into existence, Northern Ireland was marked by discrimination and hostility between these two sides in what First Minister of Northern Ireland, David Trimble, called a cold house for Catholics. In the late 1960s, conflict between state forces and chiefly Protestant unionists on the one hand, and chiefly Catholic nationalists on the other, erupted into three decades of violence known as the Troubles, which claimed over 3,500 lives and caused over 50,000 casualties. The 1998 Good Friday Agreement was a major step in the peace process, including the decommissioning of weapons, although sectarianism and religious segregation still remain major social problems, and sporadic violence has continued.Northern Ireland has historically been the most industrialised region of Ireland. After declining as a result of the political and social turmoil of the Troubles, its economy has grown significantly since the late 1990s. The initial growth came from the peace dividend and the links which increased trade with the Republic of Ireland, continuing with a significant increase in tourism, investment and business from around the world. Unemployment in Northern Ireland peaked at 17.2% in 1986, dropping to 6.1% for June–August 2014 and down by 1.2 percentage points over the year, similar to the UK figure of 6.2%. 58.2% of those unemployed had been unemployed for over a year.
Prominent artists and sportspeople from Northern Ireland include Van Morrison, Rory McIlroy, Joey Dunlop, Wayne McCullough and George Best. Some people from Northern Ireland prefer to identify as Irish (e.g., poet Seamus Heaney and actor Liam Neeson) while others prefer to identify as British (e.g. actor Kenneth Branagh). Cultural links between Northern Ireland, the rest of Ireland, and the rest of the UK are complex, with Northern Ireland sharing both the culture of Ireland and the culture of the United Kingdom. In many sports, the island of Ireland fields a single team, a notable exception being association football. Northern Ireland competes separately at the Commonwealth Games, and people from Northern Ireland may compete for either Great Britain or Ireland at the Olympic Games.
