The Divis and Rossville Flats in Derry and Belfast were high-rise housing projects built as part of Terence O’Neill’s modernizing 1960s vision for Northern Ireland. They became notorious during the Troubles in Northern Ireland as sites of state and non-state violence, and emblematic of the deprivation and suffering of Catholic communities. Following prolonged campaigns by residents, the flats were demolished in the 1980s and 1990s. Drawing on oral testimonies collected after the near-total demolition of both spaces, this article argues that there are similarities in the cultural memory of both spaces. This is firstly apparent in their evocation of the materiality of the flats, and secondly apparent in their negotiation with the iconic status of Divis and Rossville in relation to the Troubles. Finally, we argue that while both sets of sources mobilize forms of nostalgia to narrate the history of the flats, this nostalgia is differently-inflected across both sites.

德里（Derry）和贝尔法斯特（Belfast）的Divis和Rossville Flats是高层住宅项目，是Terence O'Neill对1960年代北爱尔兰进行现代化改造的一部分。在北爱尔兰骚乱期间，他们声名狼藉，成为国家和非国家暴力的场所，并象征着天主教社区的剥夺和痛苦。随着居民的长期运动，这些公寓在1980年代和1990年代被拆除。利用两个空间几乎全部拆除后收集的口头证词，本文认为两个空间的文化记忆存在相似之处。首先，从他们对公寓重要性的诉求中可以明显看出来；其次，在与迪维斯和罗斯维尔有关麻烦的标志性地位的谈判中，这一点显而易见。最后，
