ParticipantIs it Tolka Valley Park?

ParticipantNot Tolka Valley Park.
and in no way did you win that urban lawn argument.

ParticipantGrahamH agreed with me, that counts for winning around here.
Single digit postcode? And we’re to assume it isn’t the Park?

ParticipantSingle digit post code and not the Park.

ParticipantFairview park?

ParticipantIf it is Fairview it is a very cunning shot, Fairview is more filled with hedging and goal posts and headless Sean Russells and so on than the park in the photo. St Anne’s isn’t so hilly, Griffith Valley Park is too small.

Spot on!
The ‘Meadows’ area. I don’t know what the grass looks like now after Leonard and Iggy and Morrissey.

ParticipantSo this is in the obvious place but I thought it was worth posting since it is such a classic late-Victorian warehouse.

ParticipantIt’s a slow day, so here’s a teaser.
An early 18th century, inner city, Dublin church. It was altered in the 20th century by the addition of another storey in concrete and was demolished in the 1990s. I haven’t seen it in any of the books. The question is, where was it?

How it was allowed to be demolished would be another question.

ParticipantIt is unusual – though probably a great honour, etc., etc., for this building:D – to appear on this thread posthumously.
I wonder does GrahamH plan to apply Nobel Prize criteria in this kind of situation, prior to the roll-out for other cities.:)
Anyway, Gunter, the silence indicates that we are struggling. Any chance of a further clue?

ParticipantDid gunter perchance give it away on another thread of late? It may have been swiftly mentioned…

ParticipantThe attrition rate on Presbyterian churchs in Dublin seems to be particularly high. Is there not some Presbyterian Preservation society? or are they all too mean to buy postage stamps for protest letters?
