"Welcome to the Shankill Road"
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.

Subway Restaurant, Shankill, Belfast
The Shankill Road branch of the Subway Restaurant chain must be quite unique - complete with memorial mural to Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother - who passed away in March 2002 aged 101. I doubt either Doctors' Associates (who run Subway) or the franchise holders have any say in what is painted or not painted on the side of their premises. At the corner Shankill Rd/Conway St.
