About Boom Hall

Boom Hall, located near the west bank of the River Foyle in Derry, Northern Ireland, has a rich historical background that dates back to the English Civil War. Originally a fort site, it evolved into a two-storey country house built by the Alexander family, named after a defensive boom erected during the Williamite War. The estate has changed hands multiple times, notably being leased to Michael Henry McDevitt in 1924, who later purchased it in 1949 and renovated the property. Despite facing neglect and fire damage in the following decades, Boom Hall remains a significant landmark, with portions of the estate contributing to the construction of the nearby Foyle Bridge.
