Launch of ‘From the Collon to the Donegal Border’

A new project to establish a permanent history of the Shantallow, Ballyarnett and the Middle Liberties area of Derry from 1916 to 1966 will be launched next week.

“From the Collon to the Donegal Border’ aims to build a digital memory bank, which can then be used to develop a range of heritage resources.

These will include: exhibitions, a dedicated book, smartphone apps, tourism kiosks, heritage trails (and signage), and, eventually, a permanent heritage facility. N

Anyone interested interested contributing to the project is invited to attend a meeting in Shantallow Community Centre, Drumleck Drive, Shantallow on Friday next, 27 November, at 11.00am.
