This is a picture of a Mural that was painted by Romeo TooGood who was my Granny's beau before she relocated to Canada. When she first moved to Canada, Romeo would send her small sketches and paintings with cute things written on the back of them.
In the 60's my Uncle travelled back to Belfast and took this picture of the Mural on Edlingham Street at the end of the building that both his family and the TooGood family lived in on Hogarth Street.
I have no idea what it looked like, but was hoping if it could be fixed up a bit, I could find a picture of what it looked like to show my mum.
Any ideas of what how it originally appeared?

Thank you for trying Mahalia
I do believe it is a bit better.
I am going to go online to do a search and see if I can figure it out by the outline of the building.
Cheers

Can't do a lot with the pic, but using Google street view there is a house in Hogarth St which has a new mural, it says " TIGERS BAY FIRST FLUTE" There is a Kings Crown and a Tigers head I know it can't be your original because it is dated 1983, it may be a re-newal of the original?
perhaps worth a try? The houses look newish as well.
ps Just seen the above link think that is more original.
