Bawnmore Through Time

Here are six images showing the full expanse of the new mural at the entrance to Bawnmore. From left to right we see: a mill, a swan, a train (there used to be a station in Bawnmore), a guitarist, a farmer gathering hay, a hurler, Molly Seaton (who was captain of the Irish women’s soccer squad in a 1927 match played in Bond’s Field, in the Waterside – Derry Journal), Greencastle Rovers (Fb), Bawnmore Community, Wolfe Tone CLG (Fb), elephants from Belfast Zoo (a baby elephant called Shiela stayed in the Whitewell home of its keeper during the WWII Blitz – BelTel), El Barto (Bart Simpson), St Mary’s Star Of The Sea primary school (web), a hand-heart containing the rainbow colours, and superheroes Spiderman, Iron Man, and Wonder Woman.

The new mural is by Visual Waste (ig) and replaces Glen Molloy’s Game Of Thrones/CS Lewis mural from 2018. With funding from the Housing Executive and Clanmil Housing Association.
