What building is that knocked down on Aungier st? Must have been only recently.
Are you sure no.3 isn't misery hill? That's what we called it years ago when I hung around that area. Hanover st according to Yahoo maps but if that's not misery hill what is? No pun intended if it comes across that way.
I like the number of your post (the post with the stephens day pics) btw. 0 -

It is indeed - well done.Number 5 is Wexford Street I think. The birth place of Robert Noonan, aka Robert Tressell, author of the "Ragged Trousered Philantrapists".

No.New Chrurch Lane?
In all fairness, it's quite obscure. :eek:Ideo wrote:Don't think anybody is going to get this one!
It's a 'lane'.
It has 12 letters.
It's in Dublin 7.
It's close to the city centre.
It's a cul de sac.
It may have derived it's name from a religious institution or practise.
And it's inside this red dotted box!
Go for it!

From Google:
St. Mary's Abbey is one of Dublin’s best kept secrets. It was once the wealthiest Cistercian Abbey in Ireland. Today only two rooms remain – the Chapter House and the Slype. The Abbey, founded in 1139, played a large role in the affairs of the state until its dissolution by Henry VIII in 1539. It was in the Chapter House that "Silken" Thomas Fitzgerald started his unsuccessful rebellion in 1534 and it is in this context that the Abbey is mentioned in the "Wandering Rocks" chapter of Ulysses by James Joyce. Today it contains a fascinating exhibition put together by the Office of Public Works along with the Dublin Archaeological Society and the History of Art Department of Trinity College, Dublin.
