You Are Now Entering Free Derry
Free Derry Corner, 1989 or 1990. Lecky Road, Derry. It’s not clear whether this is before or after the paint-bombed wall also from 1989. Perhaps after, given that the graffiti on the block to the right has been blacked out.

UDA commanders denied that member Michael Stone was acting with their knowledge or approval when he attacked the funeral of the “Gibraltar 3” in March 1988. Hence, “Ulster’s freelance Loyalist paramilitary.”

Deserted! Well – I Can Stand Alone
These two murals are side-by-side in Craven Street. On the right, a farmer’s wife defends the farm (the stone wall) in order to preserve it as part of the UK (the Union Flag) despite the threat of Home Rule; on the left, “in proud and loving memory” of three UVF volunteers assassinated by the IRA: Shankill Butcher Lenny Murphy, John Bingham, and William “Frenchie” Marchant. “Lest we forget.”
