    History of Ebrington Barracks, Londonderry.

    I'm doing some work on my memoirs.

    I did several tours on Op Banner in Ebrington Barracks in the 70's and 80's. I recall a ships mast and figure head outside what I always presumed to be the original guardroom. From that I assumethat the site was originally a Royal Navy establishment.

    Question is: does anyone please know the name of the figurehead or the site before the took over?

    Thank you in anticipation of sensible replies!
