There is a saying that "the English never remember, the Irish never forget." This book focuses on one aspect of the most notorious sieges

in British history, the Siege of Londonderry 1688-89. It explores some of the myths that surround the annual Shutting of the Gates

Celebrations each December.


Albert Jackson explains the origins of this annual event and its many facets, which are an integral part of the Celebration. He shows how

cultural appreciation can help foster a better understanding of cultural identity in a diverse society. He also explains how the burning of the

Lundy was introduced into the celebration, who made the Lundy effigy and its evolution in size and uniform through the years. The

book also focuses on some of the lesser known facts about the Shutting of the Gates Celebration.
