Spot on Dufresne - well done.

Well done Des

(Stable Lane between Bow Street and Arran Street West. Those Sherlock Holmes types out there will have deduced that the pic was taken on a Thursday around mid to late morning. )

They are all "lanes".

I recognise it and my instinct says Townsend st. Although my instinct doesn't stretch any further than D2 and D4. I'll just say Spring Garden lane since it's off Townsend st.

Pines

Is no. 1 Balls Lane?

Amazing isn't it that there are still sites like this, 14 years into a building boom.

Note the 'Corpo' vans parked up (there's a few more off picture) and using the rear entrance of the AIB on Arran Quay to cash their Thursday pay cheques!

Elementary stuff!
Actually it was the bank logo on the gate that gave me the clue to where it was. would never have copped the corpo bit. I thought all public service workers got paid straight into their bank account?

Most probably do but there is a little clause in the Payment of Wages Act which states that an employer cannot alter the payment method to an employee without the consent of that employee or a representative on his behalf, i.e. Trade Union).

It is indeed Spurious. I couldnt believe what they've done to that spot when I was there earlier tis year.
I remember spending many an hour trying to get into the old stables as a kid and getting chased out by some old lad that seemed to be there all the time and caught us every single time we tried to get in!

We must be close to the same vintage. We used to play football on the grass hockey pitch between the stables and the pond and everyone was afraid to go in for the ball when it went in there.

I think No.3 is on Talbot St - over an Internet cafe.

Long shot but is 5 the Jervis St Shopping center

sounds like we could be alright. you know you're old when you're using vintage in relation to your age!

Talbot Street is correct.

Pennys it is indeed. What a fantastic piece of architecture adorning such a mundane shop!

Wishbone Ash

No. 4 is intriguing me.:)

Quality
