Unbroken Continuity

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

Liam Mellows was commander of the Western Division of the Irish Volunteers during the Rising and anti-Treaty Sınn Féın TD executed by firing squad in December 1922. Sınn Féın was founded in 1905 (see previously one | two) but this is an anti-Agreement board.

Next to the Mellows board is South Down PIRA graffiti (seen previously in 2001) and the flags of Palestine and Lebanon. All three images are from the junction of Carnagat Road and Camlough Road in Newry.

These four images are all from Ross House at the entrance to Mount Vernon. They show a UVF gunman (slipping behind a security camera), a tiger mascot, YCV and UVF emblems, and graffiti at the front of the building.
