Three overviews of the Fountain in Londonderry. First from outside, beyond the Bishop Street “peace” line (for an earlier look, see 2002; for a close-up of a plaque, see X02718), and second and third from inside, from Kennedy Place and Wapping Lane.
INLA volunteer Patsy O’Hara was born in Bishop Street, Derry, near the site of this mural and memorial. He went on hunger strike the same day as Raymond McCreesh and outlasted him by nine hours, both dying on May 21st, 1981. “If you strike at, imprison, or kill us, out of our prisons or graves we will still evoke a spirit that will thwart you, and perhaps, raise a force that will destroy you! We defy you! Do your worst! – James Connolly”
Scenes from the underpass where Barrack Street drops down to Lecky Road, Derry. BRY [Bogside Republican Youth] and RIRA graffiti, including Pearse’s “Ireland unfree shall never be at peace”. For a more grammatical version of the last image, see We’re Still Here.
Three images from north side of Lecky Road (into Dove Gardens), Derry. The old-fashioned electrical box in tricolours would also be replaced as part of the rebuilding of Dove Gardens and Stanley’s Walk.
Anarchist graffiti in Market Street, Derry, with a “Kill your television” stencil. The bulldozer in question is the D9, an armoured vehicle used by the IDF Combat Engineering Force (WP) for house demolition (WP).
This series of images comes from the Lecky Road, Derry underpass. Patsy O’Hara, Joe McDonnell, and Tom McElwee get individual boards. Unusually, both the Real IRA and Continuity IRA are included in the final panel. As can be seen in the wide shot, to the left are Roll Of Honour and BRY 1969.
