Ideo must take the credit - as initially I thought it was in the Tara Street area.

No 3 hotel Yard? At the back of Arnotts.

Edit: No. 4 looks like you're facing towards the front of DIT cathal Brugha street which can be seen behind the church, but I dont recall a lane on that side of the street where the picture is taken from.

No.3 Hotel Yard.

Victor

4 is looking at Findlater Place, behind An Bord Pleanála and to the side of the Academy Plaza Hotel.

I can't remember the name though.

You could be right there Des its probably Strongs Court..

Dub13

Would number 4 be Strong's Court looking out onto Cathel Brugha Street....?

Vmaxer

No.2 Henrietta Place

Victor

Yeah, I think it is Strong’s Court. I remembered how I found out about it in the first place. Can't tell you. I'd have to kill you if I told you.

Hagar

I'm in a different time zone and going afk 'til next year so I'm going to wish all you guy's a Happy New Year now.

Thanks for all the brilliant pics.

Yes, as others have said Strong's Court (off Findlater Place which is off Cathal Brugha Street).

Wouldn't be around the corner from the Annesly House pub in North Strand?

Apparently Manypenny Yard was on Boot Lane. I have no idea what the modern name for Boot Lane is though.

Boot lane was what the northern part of East Arran Street was called.

Spot on lads!

It now part of Begley Brothers (Fruit and Vegetables) premises on Arran Street East. I presume the original Manypenny yard was located there. I think it had connections with the historic St Mary's Abbey on Meetinghouse Lane. Begley's premises backs onto Meetinghouse Lane.

The white building is the Hacienda Bar at the junction with Little Mary Street on the left of the pic.

Here's a couple more to keep you going, and I'd be suprised if they dont go quickly!
1. Which building is this?

2.

3. This detail appears on nearly all the building on one side of this street. Whats the Street?
