Clós Ard An Lao

2023-05-092025-04-27Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

Here is a gallery of the murals and plaques in Clós Ard An Lao/Ardilea Close in the Machaıre Botháın/Marrowbone area of north Belfast. A full repertoire of republican events is commemorated – the United Irishmen, Great Hunger, the Rising, the Troubles, the (modern) hunger strikes. What is most striking is the significant presence of religious icons, such as the Sacred Heart in the glass cases in front of the two main murals (above and last below).

“Strong” is the official title of this x-ray arm painted by Shok-1 (ig) for HTN next to the Black Box in Hill Street. Unfortunately it is crowded in by bins and kegs.
