Though no. 8 rings a bell, is that the lane behind Kevin St DIT, liberty lane?

Well done - I have Liberty Lane for no. 8.

PS - two pics are northside (1 and 2)

mmmmmmmm...........Re No. 3 - I have Dolphin's Barn Street. They are a continuation of each other though!

For No. 4 I have Bond Street but I was never sure. It's the one that I'm least sure of.

Bindon Blood Stoney was a Chief Engineer in Dublin Port. He's actually a very appropriate person to have a street named after in that location.

Thanks for that interesting little nugget of info!

Hagar

You're quite correct , Dolphins Barn St start about 40 yds to the right at Emerald Square. Kicks self.

Done and dusted - see above!

It's Marrowbone Lane without any doubt. The yellow building on the corner used to be Rory Kennedy's Bar, I went to school with his son.

Southside!

The loveliest of them is the Dutch Billy, my favourite house in Dublin. Love it, love it.

Another is, I think, the view of Marrowbone Lane flats looking from the back road up to Rialto - Rosary Road, something like that? Near the back of Guinnesses, anyway.

could 5 be that derelict site on aungier place?

have to echo those sentiments a few pages back about what a good thread this is.
A query for people. I was a northsider for about 19 years, since then D2, D6, D18. Based on the ones I get it is like I never opened my eyes until my 20s, anyone else find that?

Carroller16

number your answers luckat so we can see if ur right

Don't think so.

Carroller16

well i'm 19 years old and a northsider and i find that the minute there's a pic of the southside that i go back into my shell. just don't recognise it at all. it would be like a different town to me. Whereas i think myself that i am good on the northside

luckat

Sorry - 4 and 7.

9 looks like the road going up to Meath Street from Marrowbone Lane, but I'm not sure - it's a few years since I've gone up that way.

luckat

And a wild guess - 5 wouldn't be Rialto Buildings (or whatever snob name they've put on it now), would it?

maybe it is just that 10 years in the south city has made me not recognise the northside ones as well, although I did think the ratoath road one from a while back and the synopsys one a few threads back were good!
