You are now entering Free Derry flag.
It’s quite possibly the most photographed gable wall in Ireland; and a visit to the city isn’t complete without a trip to the Bogside area to see the Free Derry Corner in all its glory.
It was in 1969 that it first came about. The words ‘You are now entering Free Derry’ were scrawled across the house’s gable end and have been there ever since!
The name ‘Free Derry’ was given to the area of the Bogside, Creggan and Brandywell that were barricaded off from the security forces between August 1969 and July 1972. The barriers were removed during ‘Operation Motorman’ on July 30, 1972.
