Beware!

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

Mo Mowlam became (Labour) Secretary for Northern Ireland in May 1997, and made a contentious decision to allow the march down Garvaghy Road, though the decision was not revealed until several weeks later, just before the proposed date (Independent). The image above shows a mural in the style of a ‘wanted’ poster for Mowlam – “Have you seen this person? Wanted! For fraud and deception, for GBH on Garvaghy Road.”

Three panels in a row with Ulster First Flute, UVF/PAF/YCV (seen in 1995), and UDA insignia. In the middle, on either side of the UVF’s “for God and Ulster”, masked volunteers carry Uzis.

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).
