Brandywell
Sport- and community-orientated mural on Lecky Road, Derry, in the Brandywell.
“Bally Mór” perhaps refers to the local soccer club Ballymoor, and (further back) to the townland of Eudhan-Baıle-Mór (Edenballymore), though this does not include the modern-day Brandywell.

Red Hand Squeeze
This is a vary rare example of the Irish Tricolour in a PUL mural. In a few earlier murals it has been danced upon by a red hand with legs; in this UDA/UFF board it is being squeezed like a rag. The two UDA letterings are out on Blacks Road.
