I'll leave it up till later after I have scanned the picture of it in it's day. Wanna see if Rashers or Victor or maybe Wishbone know it.:D

A Credit Union I think.

Indeed it was. It was the 3rd premises that Donore Ave Credit Union (the founding Credit Union) was housed, not sure of the extact year but I'd guess around the late 60's.

Can't scan the old picture of it up as my mam gave her aunt the centenary book which they brought out last year. Must get a hold of it and scan up the picture.

Any pics lads?

Gavin "shels"

Just two pictures to keep the thread going.:D

1


2

1: The Wooden Building on Exchange St Upper

Rashers

No.2 looks like the Nth Strand area, but I know Gav is strictly a Grand rather than a Royal man. (canal that is. )

Harolds+

Unfortunately it is somewhere on the Southside as yer man Daithe was running near me.

I'm gonna say Donnybrook village next to Marian Gale's Boutique. They are all knackers around there

Noses up; knickers down

Harolds+

Sorry folks, wrong spy

Once the LoI season kicks off, I'll be on the north-side nearly every week and take a few pictures just for you.;) Failing that, after the Leaving I'll go on a cycle or drive.

Anyway no. The picture isn't actually to far from Harolds Cross.;)

Gavin "shels"

Anyone for No.2, it's Dublin 8 and it's not to far from the canal.;)

When I saw No.2 first I thought it was on St. Vincents St. West in Inchicore - opposite the entrance to the graveyard at St.Michaels Estate, but then I had my doubts, so I didn't suggest it. But that's in Dublin 8 and near the canal so now I'm thinkin it may be St. Vincents St. West?

Gavin "shels"

Well I haven't a clue where that school is so I'll say no.

Good man Exit ... Youve spawned a good thread here!

Gavin "shels"

It's my mates arm, Exit.:D

Anyone for No.2, it's on a road in Dublin 8 with a very well known school on it. The school name is the same as the road.;)

The infamous synge street

Bingo. That took longer than expected to go.

It's on the second part of Synge St, not the side with the school, it's on the second part across the SCR.

Dont have any photos i took myself, but i found this online that probably isnt too difficult. Sorry about the size but the resolution is pretty good

Aye thats it, well technically i think its George's Quay. The huge tall buildings behind it look quite good. I suppose theres worse in the vicinity though, Hawkins and Apollo House come to mind

Exit wouldn't be impressed!

You have to take the picture yourself (basically, don't take from websites)

Tut tut tut... Shameful behaviour so it is :mad:

bealbocht

just the one, I had from before. Does not look to bad, but is kinda blurry on closer inspection.
Like all the others .. easy when you know them, annoying when you know you have seen it, but cant remember where.

Is that St Michaels Terrace in Blackpitts?

Near the canal portabello area?

Gavin "shels"

It isn't Pimlico, picture taken for the small cul-de-sac next to the Pimlico Tavern?

bealbocht

sorry, for the late reply, was out all day..

no , no and no..

But it is D8, probably closer to Pimlico than Portobello, but it is not Pimlico

Near Meath st?
