What is recorded here
Arthur Joyce Lunel Cary, 1888-1957, was born at Bank House on the corner of Shipquay Street and Bank Place, County Derry. The blue plaque set into that wall still marks the exact doorway where a novelist first entered the world. Ulster History Circle recorded the fact, preserving a small human life behind stone and paint.
