Hanover Quay?

gurramok

Nope not hanover, its one of the quays alright

the boss of me

John Rogersons Quay I believe.

There's a guy who parks a coffee cart beside that building and he sells the best coffee in Dublin, bar none. Try for yourself the next time you're down there.

gurramok

Your extremely close, i took that foto while emerging from Windmill Lane. Like the other answer your quay leads onto the next quay for the answer!

Never noticed the coffee cart before though i mostly drive by there.(admittingly mostly in evenings!)

the boss of me

Did I say John Rogersons ? I meant City Quay

Tbh I can never remember where City Quay stops and JRs starts.....

gurramok

I think it's at the Lime Street junction but I'm open to correction.

Isn't it a small world! I should have known that pic as I stood there only last week while taking a 'phone call. I had my back against those doors.

The building used to be used for yacht building but I'm not sure if it still is.

(There's a similar looking structure on Hanover Quay hence my previous guess. )

They were originally warehouses and there was quite a few more of them on several quays. Goods would be unloaded direct from ships, into these warehouses and would then be moved to larger warehouses or to customers. Some of the warehouses had private tunnels under the public road to the main warehouse. The idea was to reduce piflering and speed unloading.

2. Smiles Dental Clinic, Upper O'Connell Street. Formerly Bak of Ireland (there were 3 BOIs from O'Connell Bridge to the Rotunda, now one). I ahve photos from the roof.

8. Post office, Upper Kevin Street (its on the bus stop, but I nearly had it from the bus routes), at the corner of Cathedral Lane.
9. Google throws up Grand Canal Quay, but there are no council flats there. Hmmmm. Might it be Mark's Lane / Lombard Street? The flats I think are Countess Markievicz Flats.

I presume it is the car aprk in the middle here or one of the warehouses that have been demolished. Ship Street Little is perpendicular to Ship Street Great and we are looking at the back of Dublin Castle. I don't think I've ever been down there.

No, you didn't inadvertantly put in the wrong name then so. You're way off! (But when the pic is identified, you'll see where I was coming from! )
