A small board and two murals in the Fountain, London-Derry. The board has the city of Derry crest on it surrounded by Ulster banner, Union jack, St Andrew’s Saltire, and Apprentice Boys flag; the first mural lists the names of the thirteen apprentice boys; the second is a William King Memorial flute band “founded 1973”, again with the crest of the city.

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.
