Here are two murals from Alexandra Place (off Foyle Road), Derry, one of a train running through the countryside and the other of a street of terraced houses. According to McLaughlin 1999, the person on the bicycle is SDLP councillor and former Derry mayor Mary Bradley; the mural was paint-bombed.

Both were painted by Bogside Artist Tom Kelly, as was a mural in similar “photographic” style (to the second image) in Gobnascale (see D00501).
