Scenes From Yesteryear
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).

Boycott Northern Bank
“The future is in your hands – don’t fund discrimination”. A boycott of Northern Bank was called for because of the lack of Catholics in upper management. According to artist Mo Chara Kelly, the image of a father holding a child comes from Northern Bank’s own ads at the time. Falls Road, Belfast

Foreign Funds
On the left are pike-men from 1798 and in front is a crowd of people carrying torches. Their common enemy(?) is a wad of ten pound notes, apparently from the European Social Fund, American Fund For Ireland and the Ireland Fund.
