The Bogside, St Eugene's Cathedral
The Bogside is a neighbourhood outside the city walls of Derry (from where this photograph was taken).
The area now known as the Bogside was originally underwater. The Foyle flowed round the island of Derry, and was first settled as the river diverted. It dried out into marshland: hence the name Bogside.
The first recorded settlers in the Bogside were listed in a 1622 survey. The influx of migrants throughout the 18th century created a significant Catholic population in Derry. Because Catholics were forbidden from living within the walls most settled in the Bogside. The steady growth of the Catholic population was reflected in the construction of the city’s first Catholic church, Long Tower (1784), and St Eugene’s Cathedral (1851).
