any chance of a bigger pic, I think I recognise some of the building types.

wild guess would be one of the lanes on abbey street.

I'll have to take a few snaps tomorrow on the way into work and post them up. Can't find any pics on the comp that aren't really obvious.


edit: That lane is really pissing me off now. I know that wall to the right with the projected bottom coarses, the red building at the end of the lane and the car parks, just cant think where the hell it is


edit again: Is that looking up towards parnel street (fibbers end) , new hotel and apartment blocks along there now.

you were almost right first time, its the lane that connects the abbey to liberty hall, between abbey street lower and eden quay

We'll to be fair, the OP said no web pics. This one came from the web and the clue was in the file name.

Other than that the site is:

Nice collection!

Graffiti artist supplies?

Sorry to butt into the thread but HA HA! No it wasn't funeral homes, artist supplies or the likes but wholesale men's clothing specialising in Olymp shirt brand and formerly Peter England shirt brand! He's since retired and sold the business on but the new owners kept the reputable name. They have since moved out of that premises.

I'm still in shock. He used to have me working there from when I was 12 and all through my school years. A lot of happy memories came flooding back when I came across that picture

Not that I know that street, but I wouldn't have even thought that was Dublin really. Nice picture!

Good set of pictures!

A looks like it would be in Temple Bar, but that's too vague a guess.
B: Is it Mount Jerome cemetery?
H: I'm pretty sure that's the front of Trinity at College Green.
K looks very familiar to me, but I don't know.

admiralofthefleet

is k the east point business park?

edit: f- is it either monkstown or the coast road to malahide

Gaspode

A = north star hotel, Amiens Street.
D = The apartments in the old Crest Margarine factory in blanchardstown.
E = 'The lockkeeper' statue at the new Rathborne apartments in Ashtown
F = vico hill?
H = Trinity college
I = Temple Bar
J = Thomas Street?

Dirk Gently

correct replies so far:

H - trinity college

k- east point

E = 'The lockkeeper' statue at the new Rathborne apartments in Ashtown

D = I'm assuming deswalsh is correct as he's close to the area, if so what's the bar opposite the apartments?

Two of the pics are indeed in temple bar, but which well known buildings :eek:

spurious

Is A the Oliver St. John Gogarty?
Is J at the corner of Marlborough Street and Abbey Street?
