Free Derry
Free Derry Corner in red, with two new murals behind it: on the left, The Petrol Bomber, on the right, a 25th anniversary mural of Battle Of The Bogside. Lecky Road, Derry.
From Oona Woods’s Seeing Is Believing (plate 14), the red-and-yellow wall was … “A temporary transformation in 1994 by artist Colin Darke who painted the wall a socialist-related red and yellow to engender dialogue about its origins and current role in the community.”

Ancient & Christian Ireland
A large board on the old Top Of The Hill community centre, Gobnascale, Derry, showing a prancing stallion in front of a (neolithic) dolmen and (mediaeval) round tower (perhaps the missing tower where Long Tower now stands).
There is a thought that “Gobnascale” is Irish for “field of the stallion” (McLaughlin 1999).
Also on the community centre (in 1981): A Political Prisoner Of War.
