Two new murals at the gateway to east Belfast on Newtownards Road have been officially launched by Lord Mayor of Belfast Ryan Murphy.

Created by cross-community groups with direction from local artist Dee Craig, the installation — covering three storeys of the City East building — promises to encourage curiosity among Belfast’s citizens about the industrial past of our city while we visualise our future.
