    2 - Christchurch looking from lord edward street?

    We have a winner! I thought that would be the easiest one. :confused:

    Picture taken from Dublinia during my day out on the open top bus tour - folks if you havent dont it yet, hang your head in shame! Great way to spend a day, and get some pics for this thread!
    I did it once without getting off the bus, and once getting off at various points and then hopping back on.

    Yes. :) (Clayton Gasometer on South Lotts Road side to be precise).

    Now I'm puzzled. I have it listed differently. Is it possible that Pembroke Cottages would be the next street where the cottages face onto?

    No, but you're in the right area.

    I don't think so - I just know the location of the church (not it's parish etc.)

    Thanks for that - apologies for the mistake gurramok. I thought it was Cambridge Court as I thought I took this pic of the nameplate at the end of that lane. I must have got confused but then again, I'm a 'stranger in a strange land' out there! :)

    Afraid not des!

    These 4 remain. I'm flummoxed that no. 1 hasn't gone yet. I thought it was one of the easiest! Notice the outlines of the shuttering pans. That's a serious amount of shuttering! Now very few buildings in Dublin have that amount of concrete.

    If No. 1 is not the sewerage treatment plant, maybe due to the hint of the concrete walls, the ESB power station itself? :)

    Is 3 somewhere in Irishtown?

    And 10 as Sean Moore park?

    Afraid not! think of another major industrial type building in Dublin 4! ;)

    Not really - it's as close to Ballsbridge as it is to Irishtown.

    Yes, :) I'll give it to you. It's at the very end of the South Bank Road at the path to Sean Moore Park.

    That's a building site now with no structures in place! ;)

    I'm not really sure where Ringsend begins and ends but I certainly wouldn't refer to it as 'Ringsend'.

    They were fast moving in the bulldozers, used to be laying vacant for years since closure :)

    Can't believe I didn't spot Bolands Mills, i've crossed that bridge at Ringsend Rd literally thousands of times in my lifetime, /me hangs head in shame:eek:

    Any hints for 2 & 3, perhaps which district? ;)
