This is a great site-my granny was Bella O Hagan granda Johnny O Hagan- my da is Jamesie and ma Rosie.
I lived in the camp until I was 9 years old before moving to Creggan. Our address was 134 Springtown Camp. I am now 54 I will never forget it is impossible, all the good people I met when growing up- Ted Jennings Bimbo Boyle Charlie Mc Carron who took me to learn to play the bag pipes at Reddens Hut with Teddy Long in Pennyburn,with Willie Foster's St Patricks Boys Pipe Band.
These were very happy care free days as a child. Thanks to my upbringing in the Camp, I have been lucky enough to have come across so many decent people. In my mind as I travel through the world many miles from the camp their memory and my relationships with them sustain me and push me forward to a decent life which I could not have secured without the good solid foundation of a happy childhood supported by so many people now sadly passed away who lived in Springtown Camp. Good luck to everyone associated with this important website.

Hi. My late father was Mr DAS (Arthur) Murphy, Housing Manager, Corporation. He appears in the video being interviewed by UTV. This must have been a very difficult time for everyone back in those days. Sadly, my dad was very ill at the time of the play, but we showed him a programme. He was unable to speak, but his eyes said it all..he knew what it was all about! Goodluck with your website.

Springtown brings back so many memories,and Im lucky I managed to get a camera and took photos during 1966 featuring Martin Mc Ginley now in Nottingham and Theresa Jennings.This is a fab site and no doubt I shall be logged into it a lot.
