Toynbee Hall, pioneering social settlement in the East End of London. It was founded on Commercial Street, Whitechapel (now in Tower Hamlets), in 1884 by the canon Samuel Augustus Barnett and named for the 19th-century English social reformer Arnold Toynbee. During his early years at St. Jude’s Church, Barnett invited members of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge to the impoverished working-class district of Whitechapel for holidays to learn about social conditions; his subsequent plan to found a house of residence for graduates wishing to live in an industrial area and to contribute to its life was well supported. With money collected mainly at Oxford, he purchased and reconstructed premises next to St. Jude’s; and with his settlers he began the work of participation in local life, development of adult education, collection of social data, and improvement of local social and industrial conditions. Toynbee Hall has continued to serve London’s East End via such offerings as a citizens’ advice bureau, a free legal advice centre, aid for invalid children, help for alcoholics, a welfare service for the elderly, and theatres for adults and for children. It has undertaken the teaching of adult immigrants and has housed various social and cultural associations.

Dublin Castle. Clever way of covering this arch while it's being repaired.

Part of the extensive murals in the courtyard of the Duke of York/Dark Horse pubs off Commercial Court, painted by Ciaran Gallagher, depicting many Belfast locals. On the right is a green map outline of Northern Ireland with the words: “Our ma says if you stick t’ her own diet of land an dairy prod you’ll be firm anna an ’trim down.” This sentence contains the six counties of Northern Ireland: Armagh ("our ma"), Tyrone ("t' her own"), Londonderry ("land an dairy"), Fermanagh ("firm anna"), Antrim ("an' trim") and Down. Also on the wall are vintage adverts for Guinness, ginger beer, wine, ciggies, etc. At the bottom is a section called Conflict Tourism. You can see a black cab with punters inside, trying to get around the gates in the peace wall. A sign above the gate says "Gate Closed 19:69" -- the gates were erected in 1969 and are generally shut at sundown.

Entryway to the Duke of York/Dark Horse pubs courtyard from Commercial Court. (The Donegall Square North sign is nicked from elsewhere.) There are two large metal doors that swing in to the courtyard. Van Morrison is on the right hand door. I don't know who this musician is -- perhaps one of the blokes in Stiff Little Fingers?
