Vmaxer

The Copper Roof on No.1 looks like a building in Ballybough?
Am I in the right area?

Tonights Thursday so I suppose We will have to wait for Wishbone to return from the Local..:D

Fair play to you GBX - it is indeed Grand Canal Place (not to be confused with Grand Canal Street ) and often incorrectly referred to as Pim Street! I'd say this is the nearest halting site to the city centre - open to correction.

No - of course not. If you had been paying attention you would have known that they are all in Dublin 8 and no. 1 has already been identified!

:D Just in - full to the neck with Guinness! :D:D

Think it is the closest halting site to town. My bro's apartment looks down onto it :cool:

No.4 could be a street for a giant vessel.

No. 5 may be for the homeless.

Dufresne

Based solely on your clues Wishbone
Is 4 Ship Street Great?
and 5 possibly Island Street?

Yes and yes.

Dufresne

Here are a few. They are probably too easy for you guys and I apologise in advance for the quality - My camera is not great.

GBX

No3 Pepper Cannister Church.

Victor

1. Fresh supermarket (formerly Spar, formerly Irish Permanent), corner Camden Street Lower and Montague Street.
2. ESB Substation and junction of Camden Row and Liberty Lane.

Dufresne

Thats seriously impressive
Victor both correct - (I even cropped 1 to make it a harder), and GBX - yes the Pepper Cannister Church at the end of Lower/Upper?? Mount St.

Victor

It is Upper Mount Street, which is parallel to Lower Mount Street. Silly Dublin people.

It just might even be uphill from Leinster Lawn to the church.

Wishbone Ash

OK folks, here's your Christmas Bumper Special - 12 pics from Dublin 1 and Dublin 2.

You're in the right part of Dublin 2 but a bit vague. I'd prefer the name of the statue or it's thoroughfare but if no one else gets any closer - it's yours!

2 parnell pl???

No.

3 off pearse st, erne st or brunswick pl

No but you're in the right area.

6 strand st/north lotts

Yes, North Lotts.

7 east essex st, opp back of clarence hotel

Well done indeed! Yes it's East Essex Street. The building is now called Dolphin House and is used by the Courts Service (Family Law?).

8 mid abbey st

Yes, well done!

9 pearse st garda station

It certainly is!

10 between GPO/princes st and mid abbey st

That's impressive - well done! (William's Lane).

11 somewhere near buckingham st/monto

No.

12 camden lock. lock keepers house

No but you are certainly on the right track. The picture is very heavily cropped but I think you've picked up a clue that remains.

Overall, a very impressive performance GutShot@CHLs.

the boss of me

Happy Christmas Wishbone some great photos there (as usual).

Gutshot beat me to it on most of the ones I recognise but he'll be kicking himself for missing No 4 which is on Bachelors Walk. Pic taken from the boardwalk, you can see the top of the wall on the bottom of your pic.

Well done Sherlock! Batchelor's Walk it is.

(I'd like to think that this is Dublin's narrowest building but presumably it's a stairwell(?) for the adjoining buildings.)

Ideo

3. Off Pearse Street, at Windmill lane?
11. Where Middle Abbey Street meets Liffey Street, the Bagel Bar IIRC

I'll give it to you! It's Creighton Street (Windmill Lane is off Creighton Street);)

Excellent that's impressive - well done.

Ideo

Oh and No. 1 is Admiral Brown

Wishbone Ash

Ideo wrote: »

It is indeed - located on Admiral Brown Walk. Well done.

Wishbone Ash

These three remain.

2. Dublin 1 - Located on a very busy area but it is one of those little enclaves that most people don't notice as their attentions are focused elsewhere



5. Dublin 2 - This is a bit off the beaten track so I don't expect many people to be familiar with it.



12. Dublin 2 (I threw this in for fun and I don't really expect anyone to get it. It looks like an ordinary private residence in Dublin 2 but it is in a very unusual location!)

Is No.12 along the canal somewhere? It looks like the top of a Lock Gate in the bottom of the picture.

No.5 Dublin Castle

Yup, GutShot had already indicated that on post #1968 - but where?

Well done Dubsmax.

(Do you know anything about it? There is no plaque or anything informative around it!)

Note, Camden Lock is the sea lock to the Grand Canal Docks. It does look familiar.

There is a similar odd house at Percy Place / Upper Mount Street. I thinks its actually boarded up.

Vmaxer

I hope Ya don't mind Me putting a few Pic's up, mixed Bag with some Festive thrown in..

I appear to have made an error through my own ignorance! :o:o

When GutShot mentioned Camden Lock, I thought he/she was referring to the canal further West. After reading Victor's post, it now appears that he/she was correct all along.

I took the pic from Britain Quay but did not realise that the entry to the Grand Canal Docks was known as Camden Lock!

Apologies GutShot - well done!
