Never Again

2013-08-16 BombaySt+

Printed and framed tarp in Bombay Street, commemorating the burning of Bombay Street during the August 1969 Belfast riots and the death Gerald McAuley, a young IRA member (Fian, not “Fiann” as written here) killed by a sniper during the trouble. Three photographs from the street at the time are reproduced in the bottom third of the board.

Ten years ago, an earlier incarnation of this board could be found on the other side of the street, connected to the issue of the day: No (Decom)mission.

RTÉ archival footage of the aftermath and other clips detailing the events in both Belfast and Derry.

Twaddell Protest Camp

Three images from the protest camp at the top of Twaddell Avenue, at the southern border of Ardoyne. The protest is in response to a parades commission ruling that, on July 12th, Orange marches could only go past the Ardoyne shops in the morning but not return via the same route.

A sign in Crossmaglen/Crois Mhic Lionnáin: No absentee landlords repossessor’s or their agents wanted in south Armagh.

The sign is presumably in relation to the shuttered Quinn’s supermarket across the street, of which there are three images below. The graffiti reads ‘No Sale’ and ‘No land grabbers here’. The supermarket closed in June, 2013 (Crossmaglen Examiner).

A flyer/poster in the window (of an unmarked unit, but presumably a community resource centre – next to Sam Glenn’s butchers) exhorting residents of the Shankill area to register to vote, part of the recent trend of sentiments expressing Protestant marginalization. (See previously: Carrickfergus panels one | two)

Republican flyers on Northumberland Street, next to the ‘famous faces’/30th anniversary of the hunger strike mural (and to the right of that, a new Nelson Mandela mural which we’ll feature in a few days).
