Visitors to the city may want to pay a quick visit to this quirky landmark which has made a re-appearance recently, 'The Golden Teapot' currently located outside Fallers Jewellers on Strand Road. This 147 year old Golden Teapot was established as an icon of Derry’s historic past when it sustained 2 bullet holes in a civil disturbance in the 1920’s during the turbulent times of the partition of Ireland. To mark the 130th year since the first Faller shop was opened in Derry city, on the 20th of January 2013, Fallers installed the Golden Teapot on the façade of their fine old premises at 12 Strand Rd, round the corner from its original location. With the steam spouting from the teapot on the hour every daylight hour, the teapot should capture the imagination of all who see it. As a major landmark in the city it is likely to become a popular meeting point again.
