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).

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.

Get in touch if you know what the issue is and what the event from 12-18 December 1992 was.
