The welcome banner adorns the Spier's Place gable end of a block of small shops. The second banner has been put up by FAST a human rights group opposed to what they see as the injustice of trials of paramilitaries where the sole or main evidence comes from men granted immunity for having turned Queen's Evidence. The lower half of the wall has two murals - an UVF memorial and ‘preparing to bare arms’ scene recalling the gun running episodes of 1913. http://www.fast-ni.co.uk/history.html Image]
