    No. 1 Burgh quay
    I thought no 2 looked like the garage on Hill Street.
    Havent a breeze on the rest of them, though if 3 is a knackers yard, then Smithfiled is always going to be a good guess!

    I'm afraid not Dubsmax. I'm a bit more discreet and I don't have a Nixon. That pic was taken on 06/12/07.

    It must have been one of the other regular posters! ;)

    In fairness, they are very difficult. :o

    1. Is at the juction of two streets and I think it borders Dublin 1 and Dublin 7. I'd say it's in Dublin 1 but I'm not certain.

    2. (Done)

    3. It's in Dublin 8 and near the Liffey.

    4. It's in Dublin 7 on a busy arterial route.

    5. It's also in Dublin 7 and would be very near the Liffey.

    Maybe 1 is Manor st? :)

    Manor st seems to have a few oldish buildings!

    Clutching at straws. No. 5 is Infirmary rd?

    Well it's Watling Street alright but it's a former knackery (see previous picture). I don't think it's connected with Guinness.

    Yes, it's the Croppie Acre on Wolf Tone Quay.

    Well done Victor - just to clarify, those last three pics were given as clues to this mornings post. :)

    Is no 1 on Green St, thinking maybe it's part of the court ?

    No 4 is probably NCR, I'm sure I've seen , but can't place it..

    No - it's on a much better known street nearby.

    No, not the NCR - much nearer the city centre.
