    I know, it’s that redbrick building on Railway Street with the nice windows. And that grey thing on the roof.:D

    Seriously though, Morlan, should we be looking at locations in or around the Pearse Street/Westland Row area?:o

    I think it is the Irish Rail Freight Offices beside Spencer Dock. It only dawned on me when you said rail and I saw the red brick.

    I am sure Graham and Morlan have got fed up with being the only ones contributing to this, so I thought I would try to upload a few very easy ones for people to have a go at.

    oooh – so close to a hole in one. Alas A is Pearse Station.:D 😉

    Do the granite blocks in the National Gallery columns ever remind anyone of firelighters?

    No?

    Okay… 😮

    Four more below – took them so long ago even I barely know where they are.

    A few more? Why not. These are just oldies from the archive (all within the canal ring)- I’m planning something far more dastardly if the opportunity to snap it presents itself.

    Graham- any chance you could give everyone else a head start of, say, 24 hours?:)

    Well done LOB. You got them all in one. Apart of course from Pearse St Station, because that doesn’t exist :D.

    Graham, Is F the railings on the North of Parnell Square and G that red brick office block on Lincoln Place where the Turkish Baths used to be?

    F is the railing of the Rotunda on Parnell Square South, the northside railing are blue.

    G – I agree with Lincoln Place

    H is on Talbot Street, just up towards Marlborough Street. Theres a lot of desperately-in-need-of-paint jobs along this street.

    Is No 2 the arches of The Vaults bar under Connolly

    Is No 3 around Bridgefoot Street?

    I think 2 is chq basement but if not it could be the cafe under Grand Canal Dock dart station. Is 3 somewhere in Ranelagh or maybe on the Richmond Road. Tip of the tongue but can’t remember it. Number 4 I think is off Cork St and was linked to a timber merchant

    Neither.

    You’re probably right, though the timber merchant business is news to me. I’ll leave it open in case anyone else has a more accurate (not more correct, just more accurate;) ) guess.

    I was in it before the work started in earnest a few years ago so recognised it from that. Otherwise I think we could have been here a while. 🙂

    A lot of outstanding pictures outstanding here, from two contributors.

    I wonder if 3 mightn’t be in or around Grand Parade or Northbrook Road? It does have the feel of an old railway bridge, for some reason. Maybe too “Ranelagh” though, which has already been discounted.
