In Bigside, a district of Derry that can be seen from the high city walls, the memory of Bloody Sunday is still very much alive. At the foot of the city walls you will find the low gabled structure that can be seen in the background of the historical photos.

In Derry, the memory of Bloody Sunday is still very present, especially in the Bogside district, the scene of the attack.
