Hands Across the Divide
A bronze sculpture at the western end of Craigavon Bridge: two figures reach out almost to touch, symbolising reconciliation between Northern Ireland's two communities.
Created by sculptor Maurice Harron and unveiled in 1992, late in the Troubles, the sculpture shows two men standing on two plinths with their arms stretched out, fingertips almost touching. It symbolises reconciliation between the Catholic and Protestant communities. It stands beside the roundabout at the western end of Craigavon Bridge, about a 5-minute walk from the south side of the walls. Entry is free. A stop here is mainly for photos, and it can be combined with the walls and Peace Bridge into a reconciliation-themed walking route.
