| I came to Limavady about 40 years ago. Recently I came across some photographs taken during that time which may be of interest to other people. I concentrate mainly on things that have changed during my time in this lovely town. |
Main Street. Not much has changed traffic-wise, but most cars look somewhat different these days! |
|
Old Protestant Street. |
|
The same street during renewal. The damage was not caused by a bomb but by a few JCBs.
|
The builders went bust and the street looked like this for a year or two.
|
Entrance to the town. This must have been taken after the bomb at the old police station, because the war memorial roof looks a bit strange.
|
Parking in Market Street. (Not much has changed.)
|
This picture of Main Street was taken after the first car bomb explosion in the town. The traders blocked the parking spaces with anything they could find.
|
Can you spot yourself or someone you know? This picture was taken during one of the large demonstrations that were held in the town at that time.
|
The old chestnut tree in the Market Yard
|
Corner House
|
Remember all those barrels?
|
The last of the old houses in Protestant Street
|
This one was donated by Willie Reid.
|
From Harold Gough's collection Ballyclose Street and Christ Church. The house on the right with the sign above the door was the home of Peg of Limavady, in earlier days.
