    I can't figure out where the City's coat of arms would be so low down to have a readable brass plaque beneath. :confused:
    You'd want to be up early to know! ;)

    So, it turns out the plaque isn't readable from the ground!

    When I agreed that it was at Dublin Port I didn't actually mean within the DP itself. Its not that far east.

    It's an ESB structure so there's probably a few around!

    Now you're talking - it's just off the North Wall Quay!
    Actually, I think its a former public toilet, that has been converted to part of a pumping station for the city sewerage system.

    Here's a few from my own neck of the woods - North County Dublin. I do realise that this is a Dublin City Forum but we'll give it a go anyway!

    I thought it looked like a tiolet alright. There's an ESB sign on it now.

    These three remain. I would have thought that No. 4 would be identified first. Obviously, as it's very easily identifiable, there must be no 'locals' reading this thread! :eek:

    No. 1 would normally be well known but is very heavily edited

    Not sure about number 3. Are pictures taken in the early 70s eligible for this thread? :D

    Note the 'modern' car in front of the VW and the relatively modern Ford tractor.
