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.

INCH ABBEY OLD GRAVEYARD
I'm back down outside Downpatrick at Inch Abbey this Easter Monday. I couldn't resist a walk round the old graveyard nearby.
This is a walled enclosure to the north of the old abbey The abbey is about half a mile south of the new road from Crossgar to Downpatrick across a new Quoile bridge It is in the townland and parish of Inch The word means an island and it was one in the Quoile marshes until modern times The site is very beautiful overlooking the river and Downpatrick Cathedral A Celtic monastery existed here of which little is known but in 1180 John de Courcy established a Cisterican abbey, the nave of which was completed about 1200 The abbey church fell into ruins in the fifteenth century and a new parish church was built in 1610 in the centre of the present grave- yard (Lewis) A stone from this church or earlier is over the Maxwell vault and a crucifixion scene of this period is in the modern church The ruins of the church were pulled down to make way for the Maxwell vault, which dominates the graveyard Two old stones of 1662 have been built into the approach to this and are the oldest extant in the graveyard though one to Melville of 1628 formerly existed in the abbey The graveyard Is in very good order but the Gray stone had to be pieced together from about 30 fragments, The present Inch Parish Church is 1 miles to the north and was built in 1730 with a tower added in 1784 and an aisle In 1826 One memorial tablet from it has been included below There is no graveyard round this church The Parish registers are preserved in parochial custody, baptisms from 1767, marriages from 1764 and burials from 1788 Two inscriptions from the graveyard are included in Memorials of the Dead, XI, 26 In the Linen Hall Library (Blackwood Collection) is a typed volume entitled 'Gossiping about the Parish of Inch' by T W Hanna, dated 1861.

60 Minutes - Spies, Lords and Predators PART 1
Part One of '60 Minutes Special Investigation' Aired on Sunday 19th July 2015.
That is how 60 Minutes reporter Ross Coulthart describes what he sees as one of the biggest political scandals in UK history.
But it’s not just the allegations that for decades MPs, Lords, and secret service officers were part of a highly organised paedophile ring that left the seasoned reporter without words. It was the views of paedophile advocate Tom O’Carroll.

SWANSONG FOR TROLLIES
Our pictures show one of London's original trolleybuses which first made an appearance there back in 1931. Brought from honourable retirement in the British Transport Museum, it was to be a ceremonial journey to mark the closing of London's trolleybus network, once the largest in the world. Escort was provided by the last of the present-day trolleys along the original route from Twickenham to Teddington.

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 a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Belfast (Irish: Béal Feirste) is a city in the United Kingdom and the capital city of Northern Ireland, on the banks of the River Lagan on the east coast of Ireland. It is the largest city in Northern Ireland and second largest on the island of Ireland. It had a population of 333,871 in 2015.By the early 1800s Belfast was a major port. It played a key role in the Industrial Revolution, becoming the biggest linen producer in the world, earning it the nickname Linenopolis. By the time it was granted city status in 1888, it was a major centre of Irish linen production, tobacco-processing and rope-making. Shipbuilding was also a key industry; the Harland and Wolff shipyard, where the RMS Titanic was built, was the world's biggest shipyard. It also has a major aerospace and missiles industry. Industrialisation and the inward migration it brought made Belfast Ireland's biggest city and it became the capital of Northern Ireland following the Partition of Ireland in 1922. Its status as a global industrial centre ended in the decades after the Second World War.
Belfast suffered greatly in the Troubles, and in the 1970s and 1980s was one of the world's most dangerous cities. However, the city is now considered to be one of the safest within the United Kingdom. Throughout the 21st century, the city has seen a sustained period of calm, free from the intense political violence of former years and has benefitted from substantial economic and commercial growth. Belfast remains a centre for industry, as well as the arts, higher education, business, and law, and is the economic engine of Northern Ireland. Belfast is still a major port, with commercial and industrial docks dominating the Belfast Lough shoreline, including the Harland and Wolff shipyard. It is served by two airports: George Best Belfast City Airport, and Belfast International Airport 15 miles (24 km) west of the city. It is listed by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network (GaWC) as a Gamma minus global city.
