Peace

M03919+.JPG

This is the original version of the ‘Peace’ mural by the Bogside Artists, painted in 2004, on the side of Kells Walk, off Rossville Street, Derry. Rather than a lark, we have a dove, flying against the background of a Derry oak leaf. The info board is from 2007.

For the other murals in ‘The People’s Gallery’, see the Visual History page.

An Phoblacht

Here is the outside of the An Phoblacht/Republican News office on Andersonstown Road, Belfast in 2003. The symbol in the middle is the crest of 1798’s United Irishmen – “Equality” and “It is new strung and shall be heard” around a Maid Of Erin harp and the cap of liberty. In 2018, the newspaper will only publish on-line. See previously: the mast-head on the side of the Falls Road Sinn Féin office.
