    Was gonna answer it earlier as 'spot the burglar in dublin game' but on 2nd thoughts it was too cheesy to say it :D

    Maybe he was trying to escape from Wishbone's camera snapping? :D

    Lads, I'm begining to wonder if we are living in different cities! I can't understand how this pic has lasted so long. Every street/lane around it has been guessed. Am I missing something? Don't go for the obscure. ;)

    1. Open street guide/Google Earth.
    2. Go to north quays.
    3. Find church on north quays.
    4. Find name of street beside church.
    5. Post answer.


    10.

    I think I now know what the problem is. :eek:

    The appears to be a discrepency between some street guides and Google Earth.

    The street is listed in Google Earth as Lincoln Lane (as guessed by jdivision a few hours ago). My maps and the actual street nameplate indicate that it is Bow Street. (St Paul's church on left).

    Where do we go from here? :)

    Correct! This is the back wall of Barney's amusements (see the big M) which rather incongruously has a series of classical busts and statues on the roof.

    Some of these will be profoundly hard for anyone but the residents. If it is any consolation, all are on or immediately next to a main route.

    I even give you a zoom in of the first one!

    Yes, its the ramp entrance to the postal hall and the gate entrance to the sorting office. Overhead is the telephone exchange.

    I would have said that 4 was around Broadstone but the green container to the left rear suggests it's near Dublin Port
