Life In Divis

2011-07-012024-12-16Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

Here are eight images of the long (very long!) mural on the wall between Divis and the motorway, with scenes of life in Divis from yesteryear: kids swinging on lampposts, people praying in St Peter’s, women having a pint in the pub. Also notable is the hut made out of SDLP electoral signs. For a larger (in progress) set, see C01256.

Ambassadors For Peace

2011-07-012024-12-15Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

“Ambassadors For Peace” is a programme for young people from the Shankill, Divis, and Newington who, along with students from Susquehanna University, painted both sides of the two security gates on Lanark Way with positive messages in 2010. “Today’s riots are tomorrow’s history”, “There was never a good war or a bad peace” and the two included here “The more we sweat in peace, the less we bleed in war” and “The best way to destroy an enemy is to make them your friend”.

The War’s Over, Lads

“To the men in the CDF – the war’s over, lads …” It’s not clear precisely what “CDF” stands for [Craigyhill ?Defence Force?] or if a specific incident is referenced.

UVF-RHC-YCV

This trio of emblems dates back to at least 2008. So, there has been plenty of time to finish off the two of them that are incomplete – the YCV on the end is complete; the UVF and RHC ones are not.
