I'm intrigued as to what clues were available. I tried to copy the pic to enlarge it but it wouldn't copy. Now that I know it's Macken Street, the signage on the wall must be "JP Ryan - Haulage and Storage". But what other clues were there?

The clues are slightly degraded with the smaller image size - the elevated trains in the background and the bus terminus are the main ones.

It's hardly the new building at the bottom of Henrietta Street?

No, further east.

Newer Street, older buildings.

If you drive down Macken st anytime, those horizontal blue lines are quite unique.
Plus that yellow bus stop as a terminus sticks out a mile!

33 Bolton st?

It was one of the first though, the photos a few months old, but you weren't to know that.

Clarion Quay

It's on Lower Mayor Street by Custom House Square, behind the Excise Bar. While it is IFSC2, it isn't quite Clarion Quay.

That said Clarion Quay doesn't seem to have much definition.

I think you might be right. That's the Merrion Hotel on the right of the picture?

I'd say it's Merrion Street Upper at the junction with Fitzwilliam Lane (opposite Government Buildings).

There are no streets/lanes off Fitzwilliam Square.

EDIT: beaten to it!

The Shelbourne Hotel

Ahh Yeah !! I knew that was too easy !!

Looks like Fitzwilliam Square

Good guess but not right..

3. Microsoft in Sandyford

No ! it's in the city..

[/QUOTE]4 is hawkins st [/QUOTE]

Well done Tricky !! thought that would last longer..

Took the exact same one last week. I was going to use the roof area.

OK. I do know this one. It looks very familiar to me.

I think it might be just off Grand Canal Street?

Well done tricky D.

I'm astounded that I've never noticed such a distinctive building before. Then again, I don't ever recall walking down Hawkins Street. I always associate it with that Department of Health and Children monstrosity.

Wishbone Ash

I feel that I know no. 3 but I just can't place it!

Is it part of the DOE complex in Marlborough Street?

I'm heading away in the morning until Monday so it wouldn't really be appropriate for me to post any.
