Flats and Maisonettes in the Bogside

Anyone returning to Derry after an absence of thirty years would hardly recognise much of the city. This is more true of the Bogside than of most areas. This neighbourhood once notorious for its slums has been entirely transformed with new houses and apartments. A few landmarks, however, still survive, the most prominent in this photo is the Catholic cathedral of St Eugene.
