"Summer of 69" mural, Belfast
A mural, at Hopewell Crescent off the Crumlin Road depicting the devastation of the summer (and particularly August) in 1969. The early days of “The Troubles” (a term borrowed from an earlier conflict) saw a mass movement of people and destruction of homes. The sight of furniture dumped in the street and the word “taken” painted on an empty house next to a burned-out one is not to be forgotten. Rumours of the dead being carried away through the sewers. Ach sure the tourists love it all when they see it from their open-top buses but they weren’t there and many weren't even born.

The "Summer of 69" mural in Hopewell Crescent
This Loyalist mural commemorates the sectarian riots of 1969 when families in mixed communities were burnt out of their homes by their neighbours on religious grounds. This "ethnic cleansing" led to the increased ghettoization of both Protestant and Catholic working classes.
