Castle Place, Stabane,a view of the Ulster Bank. Another drawing in the current exhibition at the Alley Theatre. Built from prefabricated panels it dosen't have the swagger of its 1920's predecessor but has a castle like appearance in the stepped profile of its roof and narrow slit windows.

The old town hall of Strabane once the focus  of corporate power in the town. It was rebuilt 1766 and renovated again in 1904 when its unusual tower was added. Unfortunately it was demolished following  bomb damage in 1972. Drawing one of 50 of the area currently on at the Alley Theatre in the town.

Another great walk- the path to Fr Hegarty’s Rock through Swan Park in Buncrana, Co Donegal. This is the O ‘Doherty tower house in the park. Some sources suggest that the  ground and first floor may be 14th century, which is very early for an Irish tower house (most were built after 1450). The top storey dates from the early 17th century.
