1. No idea - The Netherlands?
Two storey council flats are extremely rare, except for senior citizen flats, which tend to have flat roofs. I suspect a central area (high fence) and they were built in the late 1940s. The mature tree suggests a green space and the speed ramps suggest a straight street. There is a similar style in William's Park in Rathmines.
2. Ringsend Bridge
3. Long Lane
4. Fitzwilliam Quay - same building as shown in 2. I didn't realise it had a 30 km/h limit.
5. No idea.0 -

Not that weird - he was an Irish poet.Thats it!..Weird name
(There's a street nearby called "Cow Parlour"!
James Clarence Mangan (b. May 1, 1803 - d. June 20, 1849)
...born in Dublin, the son of a poor grocer, his father having failed to retain a job in ‘eight successive establishments’; forced him to work as a clerk in the scrivening office of Thomas Kenrick (‘dull drudgery ... my heart felt as if it were gradually growing into the inanimate material I wrote on’).
He started learning languages with the guidance of a Fr. Graham who taught him Latin, Spanish, French and German. He wrote ‘charades, enigmas & riddles’ for almanacs and directories under pseudonyms.
He contributed to: The Dublin Penny Journal (as "Clarence"), The Satirist, Dublin University Magazine, Irish Monthly Magazine, and early editions of The Nation.
He fell ill during a cholera epidemic and was carried into the Meath Hospital, having been found by William Wilde in ‘a state of indescribable misery and squalor occupying a wretched hovel where he had retired to die’; he died in that hospital very soon after.
He was commemorated by Thomas MacDonagh in verse as the ‘poor splendid Poet of the burning eyes’; he was called by Yeats ‘our one poet raised to the first rank by intensity’, and by Joyce in an essay of 1907 ‘the failed standard-bearer of a failed nation’, but also ‘one of the world’s most inspired poets’.
Mangan has been called one of the greatest poets of the nineteenth century. His life may only be considered miserable. He was an opium addict at one time and a hard drinker. His fame is late in coming. Only his Dark Rosaleen was on the Irish Times list of favorite poems. To my taste he has better to choose from; he wrote over a thousand poems. Let this be a beginning for all those who are fond of poetry. The discovery of James Clarence Mangan will be rewarded.
That's the new Dublin 8 alert warning that 'Dublin Picture Game' regulars are in the area!gurramok wrote:an alarm was going off when i passed at the time
Was it you who was in Francis Street last week taking pics? Someone was taking a picture of the piano hanging outside O'Sullivan Antiques. I was tempted to say 'it's been done already'! 0 -

Nah, i didn't take any in Francis st.
I was in the area last Sunday losing my way around as usual in D8
(i committed the ultimate sin by forgetting my digi camera and ended up with mobile fone camera for pics)

Well done GBX - Golden Lane it is with Stephen Street upper at the rear.No 8 stephen st upr/golden lane?
Well done! :)If I was to be pedantic I would say that it is the junction of Fredrick Street North and Gardiner Row. (Great Denmark Street begins at Barry's Hotel1 Junc Parnell Sq, Grt Denmark St and Fredrick St Nth (taken around 5pm according to spire shadow)).
That's impressive! Most people would have said the UN monument but you name the actual Roads! Well done!tricky D wrote:2 junc Mt Temple Rd and Ard Righ rd?
Yup - The Candy Shop (and not on Great Denmark Street - see below).No 1.
One of my first jobs was in a cafe (long gone now) across the road from this.
A couple of years later I started teaching in a school a few doors up.
It's what we always knew as 'The Candy' on the corner of Great Denmark Street and Parnell Square/North Frederick St.
It looks a lot fancier than when I used to frequent it.
