The end-of-terrace wall bearing the Republican message, ‘You Are Now Entering Free Derry’, on the corner of Lecky Road in Londonderry became an iconic image of the conflict in Northern Ireland known as ‘the Troubles’. To this day, the wall with the slogan ‘Free Derry Corner’ still survives. In 1973 the artist was taken to see this landmark while staying in the city with a former colleague.
