THE GREEN MENU OPTIONS ARE MOBILE FRIENDLY AND ARE FASTER SO THEY ARE RECOMMENDED. THE RED MENU OPTIONS ARE SOMEWHAT SLOWER DEPENDING ON YOUR DEVICE OR BROWSER AND ARE MORE SUITABLE FOR DESKTOPS AND LAPTOPS. THE BLUE OPTIONS ARE PAGE LINKS AND WILL BE PHASED OUT GOING FORWARD
This is an old site and because of this there has been a number technical issues and as a result the site was very slow and not at all suitable for mobile devices. Also for security reasons and problems withe hosting services some links no longer work. Currently the site is being reconstructed and it could be described as a Work In Progress as we try to remove all the issues and broken links.

STREET ART BESIDE THE HILTON HOTEL


LOADING
I wanted to find some street art not related to the political situation but did not have much luck so I am assuming that I went to the wrong locations. However on my way Central Railway Station (right beside the Hilton) I came across a wall featuring something of interest.

Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present divisions
Northern Ireland contains arguably the most famous political murals. Almost 2,000 murals have been documented in Northern Ireland since the 1970s. The murals more often than not represent one side's political point of view.

Not all murals in Northern Ireland are political or religious in nature, with some commemorating events such as the Great Irish Famine (1845–1849), and other moments in Irish history. Many portray events from Irish mythology, though images from Irish myths are often incorporated into political murals. A few murals avoid the subject of Ireland altogether, instead focusing on such neutral subjects as litter prevention.
