“We dont want the past”. A chronicle of the Troubles in Ardoyne: Orange marches, IRA shows of strength, rioting, plastic bullets, the blanket protest, funerals, vigilantism, Holy Cross.
Three close-ups (from 2014) are included below:
Both the satellite dish and the lodge-member in the board sport an orange collar(ette).
A soldier (or possibly a paramilitary) with a rifle and gas-mask squats against a wall while another stands behind him with a baton.
Rioters under the word “freedom” on a wall and a soldier with plastic bullets.
For the mural when new, see J1908. The board began life in colour, but, as can be seen from the wide shot below, has now faded mostly to black and white.
Jamaica Way, Ardoyne, north Belfast.
