Derry, também conhecida oficialmente como Londonderry, fica na Irlanda do Norte.

Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, a cidade foi um porto importante na Batalha do Atlântico, com navios da Marinha Real Canadense, da Marinha Real e de outras marinhas aliadas estacionados na cidade para estabelecer uma base. Mais de 36.000 militares da Marinha estavam na cidade durante a guerra.

A economia da cidade baseava-se principalmente na indústria têxtil, que datava de 1831. Durante anos, as mulheres foram as únicas assalariadas nas fábricas de camisas, e havia altos níveis de desemprego entre os homens, o que levou à emigração masculina. Na década de 1920, a indústria atingiu seu auge, empregando cerca de 18.000 pessoas.

Entre 1613 e 1619, as Muralhas da Cidade de Derry foram construídas no centro da cidade histórica, com a intenção de proteger os ingleses e escoceses que haviam se mudado para o Ulster. Há muitos marcos históricos dentro das muralhas e um conjunto de edifícios eduardianos, vitorianos e georgianos tardios nas linhas de grade das principais vias que levam aos Portões da Cidade. No século XIX, as muralhas da cidade foram adaptadas e três portões adicionais foram inseridos – o Portão do Castelo, o Portão Novo e o Portão da Revista.
