Local community worker Eamonn Baker pays tribute to his Creggan neighbour Wesley Colhoun who passed away recently. -
My next door neighbour (on my left) at 35 Demesne Avenue was the one and only Wesley Colhoun.
Wesley was born and reared in 35 Demesne, that terrace of houses overlooking what we still refer to as the “ New Road”, a terrace built a dozen years or so before the Londonderry Corporation initiated the post war creation of the Creggan Estate.
