St Augustine’s School and a World War One memorial in the City Cemetery are among nine nine new listing buildings proposed in the Derry City Council area.
The buildings are the first results of the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) Second Survey which saw surveyors examine and research the built heritage of the city since June.
A number of the proposals are located within the historic 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, Derry.
St. Augustine’s School, Derry.
12 Magazine Street, Derry.
8 Palace Street, 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 “listing” more buildings in Derry would be a boost for the City.
He added: “It will enhance its attractiveness to tourists. This will help the ongoing management of these assets, which are so important to the marketing of the city as a great place to work, visit and invest.”
