One of the many famous Political Murals from the Bogside area of Derry in Northern Ireland. These Murals tell the political story of the Irish Nationalist / Republican community of the Bogside during the recent period of conflict known locally as the "Troubles". These Murals are a major tourist attraction as well as recounting historic events and individuals. The Murals were painted by local people known as the Bogside Artists and the material was fund raised by or donated by local residents. This particular Mural depicts the famous "Battle of the Bogside" when the local community kept the sectarian Royal Ulster Constabulary and paramilitary B Special police out of the area following a parade by the Protestant / Loyalist Apprentice Boys of Derry organisation. After 3 days the Government stood down the police, disarmed the RUC, disbanded the B Specials and brought the British Army onto the streets of Derry (and within days to other parts of Northern Ireland).
