On the east side are the Atlantic (no. 8), and the Blackwater (no. 29):
Completing the circle back to the south front are, on SE corner the Barrow (no. 7), and also the Boyne (no. 22) – again, as with The Foyle, an important date is carved into the forehead, in this instance 1690:
So folks that leaves us with no. 13…
13.
the five added by Morlan – which if I am right I might be able to match three with three more from the same location, although d and e have me guessing…

…as do these two lassies – each on either side of the river, one is well known yet her northside sister fronted a similar activity, I suspect –

Enjoy! 🙂
Just in response to the picture of the steps in trinity posted above. I went exploring in trinity the other day (showed up to early for a show in the olympia) and I found them. You can walk down but there’s a wooden door of some sort at the bottom. anyone know whats down there or where it leads to??
Presumably the crypt of the Chapel?
I do believe Morlan’s a/b/c heads are those of the distinguished Permanent TSB building on the corner of O’Connell Street and Lower Abbey Street – a rare example in the city of granite being used for such detailed carving. The beautifully serene ‘e’ is surely one of the Portland heads of Clerys, but I’m not sure as to the location of ‘d’…
We also appear to have the Iveagh Markets and the Chapel Royal of the Castle in the mix there hutton. I think…

Methinks not – youve finally revealed yoursef as the chancer you are!! :p
Only joking – Please add the Castle head if there’s one there to be added 🙂
And what about no.13?? So there’s 13, 2, 27, 17, and 20…
I’ll buy the winner a choc-ice 😉
Hi everyone,
This is a puzzle for all, I took this Photo 3 wks ago. Just wondering will anyone guess where it is.
I thought it was interesting.

Really?
I’d ask for a link, but I know B****s is frowned upon ’round these parts.
Now I think I know why. 😉
gunter- is it Grangegorman?
Graham- from a quick look, I think we’ve little to worry about. On a random viewing I got about 90% right.
Pfft- pretenders.

New job means I’ll be so busy that I won’t be seen on either very much 🙁

Well done!
I thought the colour and obvious OPW involvement might have been the clues.
