Description	Loyalist graffiti, Peace Line, Lower Shankill, West Belfast, 1989. 'UVF Kill All Taigs' - Ulster Volunteer Force; 'Taig' is a derogatory reference to Catholics. The Peace Lines are mostly made of concrete and steel walls up to 25 feet high, topped with metal netting; some have gates in them (the one pictured is sealed). The first barriers were constructed in early 1970s, and they have multiplied over the years; there were 18 in the early 1990's and more than 40 in 2006; in total in various parts of Northern Ireland, but concentrated in Belfast, they stretch over 13 miles.
