Yum! Three delicious trays of gourmet goodies to phil, with extra chocolate for getting them all in one go.
One tray of gourmet goodies to hutton for having the good sense to agree and verify. Extra sugary topping for the cool guess-my-theme game in his own trilogy of pictures. More, please.
Lastly, one generous portion of ego gratification sauce to ctesiphon, whose Pint of Plain Dublin Disquisition bicycle tours are not to be beat. And whose strangely shaped cycle route maps are one of my favorite diversions… hint hint.
Hint?
I’m supposed to be hanging curtains and painting the pipes in the bathroom, dammit! The things I do for you people…
Highly irregular, ’tis true, but I hope I may be forgiven- I was escorting a young lady from Paris who fancied a turn around the park.
Oh la la!
Looks like part of an overdoor panel on an independence era limestone building – Manfield Chambers on O’Connell Street/Middle Abbey Street or the earlier Morrison Chambers at No. 1 Dawson Street. Hard to reconcile the possible gothic arch though.

Indeed? Is it the former Presbyterian Church on Ormonde Quay? As in the part that remains and is now incorporated in to the offices?
Aha! I knew ctesiphon would only cross lines on a route if there was a good reason.
Gunter and I are onto you. 😉

Over your left shoulder as you’re facing the redbrick Billy on Mill Street, set into a roughcast warehouse wall. (Possibly not original to building, etc,)
