Boom Hall

On the River Foyle

Built in the 18th century, Boom Hall Derry/Londonderry  Northern Ireland took its name from being located close to where ships breached the boom across the River Foyle to end the Siege of Derry in 1689. Since being badly damaged and abandoned in 1969, however, it has remained in a dilapidated state with roof, floors and windows all missing which add to the ghostly tales the house possesses

DEVELOPMENT PLANS
