Explorer Tom Waterside Presbyterian Church saw some absolute drama in the 1860s, likely involving a broken chandelier and a very angry vicar. The acoustics must have been terrifying for the poor birds outside. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
Workhouse in ClooneyWorkhouse · 305 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Workhouse in Clooney is from the 19th century, so it’s got real grit and grime. I bet two families fought over who owned the best view of misery. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
Workhouse Burial Grounds in ClooneyWorkhouse Burial Grounds · 492 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Workhouse Burial Grounds in Clooney is C19th, which means someone wrote a terrible poem about it that nobody reads anymore. It’s quiet now, so keep your voice down unless you want to shout it. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination wide open.
Explorer Tom St Columb's Hall in Derry was built in the 1880s when everyone thought they were invincible, and here we are. There’s a curse that only hits people who don’t wave at their neighbors first. Have a wander and a wonder.
Siege of DerrySiege and battlefield · 546 ydExplorer Tom The Siege of Derry involved thirteen apprentice boys locking gates against King James, which is basically the ultimate door slam. A local claims to have invented the whole siege himself, bless him. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
