Doves

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

Doves in flight over a flower meadow. There’s also a tree painted on the wall on the right – get in touch if you know anything about it.

Perhaps painted in 1988 along with murals depicting a paschal lamb (C00111 | X05493), a shamrock (C04981), Gaelic games (C04977), a harpist (M01248), and possibly this mural of the Knock apparition in 1879 (Street View).

Harpist

Posters demanding the release of POWs (“Saoırse – release political prisoners now”) on top of a mural of an Irish harpist, in Edlingham Street, Belfast.

Perhaps painted in 1988 along with murals depicting a paschal lamb (C00111 | X05493), a shamrock (C04981), Gaelic games (C04977), doves (M01248), and possibly this mural of the Knock apparition in 1879 (Street View).

Free The POWs

Republican H-Block POWs divided into “sentenced’ (Lyttle, S. Campbell, Collins, McGarrigle, McKinney, McSorley, McEvoy, Doherty, McKeirnan, Thompson, Mary E. Campbell) and “remand” (Magee, Mahon, O’Hagan, Bradley, M. Campbell, Hughes, Stitt, Boyle, Lavery, McCart).

On the right, a manacled fist in front of strands of barbed wire, with “saoırse” and the male and female symbols in the green of the ‘green ribbon’ campaign. New Lodge Road, Belfast. Also rare: the mural is dated (1995).
