monday mural

As part of the 2017 Culture Night celebrations, Letterkenny Cathedral Quarter will be unveiling two murals of the former residents of No. 1 Church Lane - John and Gerard Crerand.
As the group celebrates these two well-known figures, they are calling on former paperboys and former learner drivers from the town first driving school "Letterkenny School of Motoring" to join them  The Cathedral Quarter would love to hear from anyone who has memories or stories.

    A bit strange way to present murals. The house is not in use anymore?

    Very well painted, intriguing to paint them on the windows!

      The mural is painted on wood and placed over the window outside.

    These former residents are unknown to me ... but they are well-remember by those murals.

    I wonder if the house is abandoned, otherwise with the murals painted on the windows the house doesn't get any light. Thanks for participating Bill.

    Love the houses right on the sidewalk. It is interesting to see driving referred to as motoring.

    I like the mural and the ideas before them. I have to look up the Crerands and the school of motoring.

    They are very well done, almost looks like they were created from charcoal.
