IMG 5104-001-Belfast Windows
Part of the extensive murals in the courtyard of the Duke of York/Dark Horse pubs off Commercial Court, painted by Ciaran Gallagher, depicting many Belfast locals.

On the right is a green map outline of Northern Ireland with the words:
“Our ma says if you stick t’ her own diet of land an dairy prod you’ll be firm anna an ’trim down.”
This sentence contains the six counties of Northern Ireland: Armagh ("our ma"), Tyrone ("t' her own"), Londonderry ("land an dairy"), Fermanagh ("firm anna"), Antrim ("an' trim") and Down.

Also on the wall are vintage adverts for Guinness, ginger beer, wine, ciggies, etc.

At the bottom is a section called Conflict Tourism. You can see a black cab with punters inside, trying to get around the gates in the peace wall. A sign above the gate says "Gate Closed 19:69" -- the gates were erected in 1969 and are generally shut at sundown.
