West Belfast: Memories of a childhood voyage of conflict, Part Two Davy CarlinA few months ago I accompanied a few writers around the 'West', some came from around Britain while others from further afield. West Belfast holds still a lot of interest to many internationally and is perhaps the most politically researched community of recent times. Driving around the 'sights' of the West of the city and recounting some of its history I had time to reminisce of times past. Starting of in Ballymurphy (the Murph) we visited the various wall murals which speak out from many gable walls depicting and commemorating various aspects of Irish history with more especially that of the recent conflict. Then we visited the 'Bullring' an area in the centre of the 'Murph', now re-developed, but twenty odd years past as a child I can remember playing in or going to the shops with my Gran. And of course it is an area which holds its own infamous and famous conflict related stories passed down over the years.
