This fine mural of William III is painted on the gable end of a terrace of houses at the northern entrance into Sandy Row - a Protestant Loyalist community in Central Belfast. King Billy and his army are said to have camped in the Sandy Row area before they marched south to defeat King James II and his army at the Battle of the Boyne.
