I was born in 1950 in the Brandywell. Thank God I had a wonderful childhood there and in Cable St. We had good ,decent neighbours ,especially the Murray's . We had Meehan's park in front of our home in Cable St where my younger sister played every day. When I grew up I could go to the dance hall in Muff ,Co Donegal on Friday nights by bus. When I was left off the bus in Patrick St; I could walk home without any free what so ever. Our back door was forever unlocked but God rest my beautiful mother ,she never went to bed until we were all home. Derry was such a safe place to live then.
I was born in the Waterside in 1947, left late 60's, went into a home for a number of years not a great start in my youth, such is life, they say never look back, many a true word.
John King Hi John I was born in the old city &county hospital, we lived in Marlboro road Rosemount until moving to the new Creggan estate I would think about 1954 ish. I remember starting school when I was 5...left Derry late 60s and still love going back..
@@wiiliamnoel5250 Aye that apprentice boys kkklan dont have leave some amount of shite behind them...FREE DERRY WAS THE CRY WHEN WE SAW THOSE YOUNG MEN DIE!

Beautiful song and singer
I was born in Derry/Londonderry in 1947 and lived there until 1969. This film is so nostalgic.
@john moore You call it what you want. Tis LONDONDERRY to be sure. No surrender. Jim Simpson.
