This panorama was shot during the twilight of a winter afternoon. The weather had just changed. After a heavy fall of snow the previous day, a thaw had arrived. As the rain started there were just a few patches of slushy snow left in the streets.

It opens looking at St Eugene's Cathedral with Creggan Road on the left and Northland Road on the right.

As the panorama starts to rotate the view sweeps past St Eugene's Primary School on Northland Road, across the little Diamond / William St Roundabout and down William Street with its red-brick houses. In the background we glimpse the top of the British Telecom telephone exchange.

At the top of William Street is the Derry City Swimming Baths - a local institution, that in its day has been host to a range of swimmers from primary school swimming classes through Olympic athletes to the "swimming pensioners".

Past the swimming pool we look down Little Diamond / Fahan Street with the edge of Derry's walled city-centre in the distance. Then we reach another red-brick terrace at the bottom of Creggan Road - and we are back to St Eugene's Cathedral.
