    Nope!

    (I'll have to visit this famous Blackpitts sometime. It's been incorrectly given as an answer to several pics here but I don't think I've had the pleasure of being there. :))

    It is indeed - on Cook Street. (Somewhat spoiled by heroin syringes, needles and other drug paraphernalia).

    I was raised in Blackpitts... got the name from all the tanning pits that were constructed olong the banks of the Poddle river... I had the pleasure of working on an archaeological dig there last year! :)

    The Tenters also got their name from the tanning industries. The hides/pelts were stretched out into "tents" to dry.

    I'll give it to you. :) It's actually the intersection of Reginald Street and Gray Street. (I think Gray Square is off Gray Street.)

    Just to clarify lads/ladies, pic 3 is not in Dublin 8. The others are but that is purely co-incidental! :)

    Hagar, you're nearly right... I'm a pedantic basket though! The tenter hooks were for stretching linen on after the flax was spun. The area was also a centre of linen production in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. A large Heugeonot population settled in the area around this time and started this industry.

    Sorry for being a bit of a spammer...:p Maybe we could have an old Dublin sub forum?

    So that's where the phrase "on tenter hooks" came from!

    5. Is John's Lane West from St. Augustine Street, looking at NCAD.

    I built the yellow building :)

    John's Lane East is only a stones throw away at Chirstchurch, but the two don't connect. Bloody Dublin street names. :)
