Welcome to the Shankill Road

WELCOME TO THE
SHANKILL ROAD
WE ARE
PROUD · RESILIENT · WELCOMING

Somewhat confusingly, this mural is not on Shankill Road but is on the wall of the Peace Line on Northumberland Street.

"Welcome" appears in several languages including the Irish Gaelic Fáilte which had been omitted from earlier versions of the mural (see Link

Extra Mural Activity).

Peace Wall /Peace Lines

The peace lines or peace walls are/were a series of separation barriers erected to separate nationalist and loyalist neighbourhoods during the Northern Ireland Troubles Link in the late twentieth century. The peace lines were originally built as temporary structures meant to last only six months, but due to their effective nature they became wider, longer and more permanent; ranging in length from a few hundred yards to over three miles. They may be made of iron, brick, and/or steel and are up to 25 feet high.
