The Shirt Factories that are situated across the city provide a window into an important aspect of Derry's history.
After their closure, many of the buildings became derelict. However, many of them have now been repurposed as accommodation or retail space, breathing new life into these once at-risk sites.
The Star Factory, built in 1899, has become one of these repurposed sites. After becoming derelict due to the decline of the shirt factory industry, the Star Factory was at risk of demolition.
