Murals of North Queen's Street/Tigers Bay

Along the Eastern edge of New Lodge Road and extending further north out of Belfast is North Queen's Street. The two areas are divided by Alexandra Park which I mentioned in earlier posts as being a public park divided by a wall. That wall is  now opened during certain times to allow the communities to enjoy the entire park.

There is a high level of vacancy throughout many of these neighborhoods and the majority of that vacancy occurs along the fringe of the territories of particular religious association. The "peace walls" that divide communities often encourage a movement in each community away from the wall and toward the heart of the district.
