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.

B is The Casino, Marino!

Yes - I thought it was too easy but it was the only Dublin pic that I had on the PC.

Is G the view from the causeway at Dolleymount (the wooden one)? Think F is Dalkey? Could alos be the coast road in Malahide. What ones are we missing from those pics?

Not quiet but close enough. It's strand road at Sutton just up the road.


A the Oliver St. John Gogarty Temple bar (it does look like the north star too)

D- Aparts opposite 12th lock

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

G Sutton

H - trinity college

J Flow and Tide bar at the corner of Marlborough Street and Abbey Street

k- east point

Still looking for B / C / F / i

I'm surprised B is causing problems. Identify the structure in the extreme top of the picture and you should get it.

Anyone going to the match in croker will more than likely pass by C.

F is across from a well known fishing spot and will be well known by cyclists who use the route often

In the extreme right of i is a very well known landmark pub in temple bar. The cropped image is of the buildings immediately opposite it.

Collie D

OK, coupld of wild guesses here

B That thing in Phibsboro beside where the ice rink used to be?

C Apartments at back o Meagher's pub I think (the barbed wire is giving me that idea)

Wishbone Ash

Is F Balscadden Road in Howth?

well done, taken just up from the harbour around the bend there.

Just b , c and i left.

B - o Meagher's pub There is a pub on the corner alright but I know it by a different name. The building on the right is a commercial shop premisis with the pub next to that.

Heinrich

is B the Wellington monument?

Wishbone Ash

Is B some sort of underground toilets in a public park, eg. St Stephen's Green?

Heinrich wrote:

Hardly, as that monument is composed of an obelisk on a plinth with steps at the base.


Is C part of Clonliffe College?

Correct


Some wider crops of C and i

Is C at the Royal Canal on Dorset St?

Here's a quick one.

Great thread
If you're interested in this kind of thing, I'd recommend books by Pat Liddy.
List of books here:

And if you don't want to spend cash then go to itunes and look for the Hidden Dublin podcasts from Newstalk 106.
There's feckin loads of them for most areas of Dublin

spurious

There's also a very hard thread on a similar theme, but with very obscure pictures of details on archiseek.
Here

It's a real eye opener - we have some very beautiful buildings and we pass by them daily without really looking at them.

Dublin Castle, near the Ship Street gate?

Other side of the river.

The original crop of 'I' is Mexico to Rome restaurant.

I tried to get those podcasts a few months ago, and they were gone. Not sure if it was just temporary or if they're gone for good.

Kicking my self that I didn't get here to guess Glasnevin Cemetery. I had figured it was either that or Mount Jerome but went with the latter. I could tell by the stairway leading down to the vaults.

Exit, I've all of those podcasts here.

Thanks for the offer But I had actually downloaded them all last year. It's just they're on a computer that I don't have access to for a few months. So I still have them but cheers anyway!

both correct.

Thats them all now!

OK, here are some hints on this one.



It's on a street that was renamed in the last century.

It is beside a 'cult' pub sporting the same colour walls. (I'm not sure if cult is right - it's a strange place - if you know it, you'll understand what I mean.)

It's in the city centre.

That really narrows it down - they were nearly all renamed in the last century!

Trying to think of a clue that doesn't give it away....
