Above is the centre portion of the board on the west side of the underpass on Donegall Avenue and Tates Avenue. It shows ‘John catching spricks + tadpoles’, ‘men playing pitch ‘n toss’, ‘gypsies who collected our potato peelings’ and ‘Nancy + Josie swinging from the lamppost‘. The wide show, below, also includes Mickey Marley’s Roundabout (the Townsend Street image of which was featured previously one | two) on the left and ‘me and Dad going to the football’ past Jamesons shop, on the right. The companion board on the east side of the underpass was featured a few days ago. The title of today’s post is the official title of the project, by david creative.

The wide image, below, shows an elderly gent pulling back a curtain under the Tates Avenue-Broadway overpass to reveal a scene from times past which includes suited men “going to the football”, a “Broadway hairdressers”, a “Nummy grocery van” and the two figures shown in the detail, above: “Andy of Broadway” and “Rev. Charlie Maguire, the minister on a bicycle”.

The piece (and its companion across the street) were done by “david creative,” (David McClelland) and you can see images of the conception and development of the piece at his web site.
