12 murals decorate the houses along Rossville Street near Free Derry Corner. Referred to as the People’s Gallery they are the work of ‘the Bogside Artists’, three men who lived through the worst of the Troubles in Bogside. Painted between 1997 – 2001 they commemorate key events during the Troubles: Bloody Sunday, the Battle of the Bogside, Operation Motorman, and the 1981 hunger strike.
Side note: a new mural nearby is of Derry Girls. This is actually a hilarious show on Netflix about typical teenage girls at an all-girls catholic school in Derry during the height of the Troubles. They have added a Derry girls mural to the bogside ones and we hear that Derry Girls tours are now more popular than historical ones.
