Shankill Atrocities

Extramural Activity2 Comments

“30 years of indiscriminate slaughter by so-called non-sectarian Irish freedom fighters. No military targets! No economic targets! No legitimate targets! Where are our inquiries? Where is our truth? Where is our justice?” The bombings listed are: Fourstep Inn, bombed 29th Sept. 1971, 2 innocents killed; Bayardo Bar, bombed 13th August 1975, 5 innocents killed; Balmoral Showroom, bombed 11th December 1971, 2 adults and 2 babies killed; Mountainview Tavern, bombed 5th April 1975, 5 innocents killed; Frizzell’s Fish Shop, bombed 23rd October 1993, 9 innocents killed. The plaque to the right (“donated by the Kinner family”) gives the names of those killed. It was previously beside the painted version of this mural in Bellevue Street.

Tar Anall

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

These three images from around Conway Mill are from 2008, before the mill was renovated. At the time, the mill was home to Tar Anall ex-prisoners’ centre and the Eileen Hickey Irish republican History Museum, as well as a print-shop and mattress store.

The Platform

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

One of the tourist information boards along with walls of Derry; this one describes the history of the area around the Presbyterian church and the Apprentice Boys Memorial Hall, including George Farquhar and his play The Beaux’ Stratagem. The platform in question is not a viewing platform for Orange parades but a gun platform in the walls of Derry.

The People’s Gallery

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

The People’s Gallery is a series of murals by the Bogside Artists along Rossville Street and Lecky Road in Derry. Although the sign says there are 12 murals, at the time there were in fact only 11 (as this page at the official web site says), though a twelfth would be added in 2008. For images of all 12 murals, see the Gallery’s Visual History Page.
