It’s not clear what this model in the Fountain is of. The nearby St Columb’s Cathedral has a single spire rather than a large turret. Please comment if you can shed any light.

The redevelopment of Stanley’s Walk and Dove Gardens provides a new place for the pyre, under the flag of Palestine. The Ulster Banners, and Israeli and YCV flags will not be so honoured. In the distant background (on the left) is a Brıogáıd Dhoıre board.

“Dan Winter’s ancestral home – the focal point of the Battle Of The Diamond on 21st September 1795, which led to the formation of the Orange Order in Sloan’s house, Loughgall.”
Dan Winter’s cottage at “the Diamond” (the crossroad of Grange Road and Derryloughan Road) was occupied by (Catholic) Defenders as they marched towards the (Protestant) Peep-O-Day Boys on a nearby hill. 30 out of 300 Defenders would be killed while the Peep-O-Day Boys went unscathed. After the battle, the Protestant combatants met in Loughgall and formed the Orange Society. 10,000 Catholics would subsequently migrate from Armagh.
This is one of two buildings on Derryloughan Road with “Dan Winter’s Cottage” plaques.
