    I knew that, but I was doing the cheeky exam thing of giving a vague answer that's not exactly wrong. :o Although in this case, it did turn out to be wrong.

    I often wondered how you could get so many pictures of the city Wishbone! It seems a little clearer now. I did suspect for a while you were a Garda and pounded the beat a lot with your camera tucked away in your pocket :D

    That explains it, he chases hoodlums into derelict buildings as that is where they hang out! :D

    No.3 Benburb st and No.5 a street near Arbour Hill?

    Then again is its 5min walk or drive away from O'Connell st you said :D

    No 3 is Bow St? It's defo part of the distillery but it could be one of a number of streets. Me Nanny (yes that's what we called her) lived on Bow St and my Grandfather worked for Jamesons as did his next door neighbour. My uncle married the next door neighbours daughter and they both ended up working for Irish Distillers.

    That photo could have been taken from outside their old front door looking across the street.

    Part of my granda's pension was a bottle of Jamey every week or month so there was always a great stock of whiskey in the house with the staff issue stamp.

    Don't know why I'm telling you all this but that photo almost brings a tear to my eye. Great stuff.

    Ah jayzus Wish, you could of said my guess was around the corner from it, well slightly colder than Bow st said above by giddyup, so the rest of us could get 'warmer and warmer' to the street! :D
    Hint hint for future reference..LOL

    Here's 5 more.

    These are difficult but to make it easier I'll just say that they are all from Dublin 7 (the city end).

    You weren't kidding about them being difficult were you!
    sometimes I feel like I'm from another country when I see these pictures.:confused:

    Yeh Slatterys is the pub.

    I'll ignore your last post boardsbud :D..its Cranmer Lane, very good, didn't expect it to be taken that fast!
    The apt block in the pic is actually the McEniff Hotel!
