DOE Proposes Nine New Listed Buildings For L'Derry
The Department of the Environment has consulted with Derry City Council regarding nine new listing proposals.
The buildings are the first results of the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) Second Survey, which has been examining the built heritage of L'Derry City since June.
A number of the proposals are located within the City Walls, while some traditional rural dwellings have also been identified for protection.
The nine buildings are as follows:
• 54 Ardground Road, Killaloo
• Cumber Bridge, Bridge over River Faughan
• 24 Lower Ballyarton Road, Lower Alla
• Cross Of Sacrifice, Great War Memorial, City Cemetery, Lone Moor Road, L'Derry
• St. Augustine's School, L'Derry
• 12 Magazine Street, L'Derry
• 8 Palace Street, L'Derry
• House approx. 200m north of 513 Baranailt Road, Claudy
• House approx. 320m north of 513 Baranailt Road, Claudy
Environment Minister Mark H Durkan said the move "follows on from the review of the city’s Conservation Areas a few years ago by providing clear information to owners, decision makers and the general public about why individual historic buildings are considered to be of special interest."
The consultation submitted to the Council is the first of a number planned over coming months. The Council will also be asked this month for its views on the potential removal of six buildings from the list. The DOE said survey work has revealed that the buildings do not appear to meet the test required by the legislation.
One building is the painted office and restaurant at the junction of Castle Street and Shipquay Street. It was completely rebuilt in concrete block following a bomb in the 1980s.
