Indeed. Mercifully, my own alley lies outside the boundaries of the game, so the revenge shall have to take a different form.
In the meantime, I’ll put the coddle in the bottom of the range. Sure it always tastes better when it’s had a bit of time to settle.
I return to a favourite theme, which has been nicely added to by Ebear and Morlan – decent heads that they are 🙂
Most of you will recall that a focus was given to carved heads and figurines around doorways and arches, with many featured from around the city – see page 18 for further details

H‘J’ and ‘S’ are a pair, and a high class pair at that.
They are screwed into the front facade at first floor level of no. 40 Bolton Street (3 doors from the Henrietta St corner).
The house is a probable former ‘Billy’, like no. 39 next door, which is how this picture found itself in gunter’s collection.@StephenC wrote:
Is G on St Georges Church at Hardwicke Place
Correct, it is indeed 🙂

looking through the photos tonight and here’s a few odd ones…
some of these will be quite easy – one especially to architects
Paul, I think 2 is Blessington Basin.
so i have no photo of it but can someone tell me where the folowing can be seen on a plaque on the front of a building on a very busy city centre street:
“public lighting and water meter station”
Is the first one the Greek Orthodox church [apologies if I’ve wrong religion] up at Arbour Hill?
The second one looks a bit like the gatekeeper’s cottage at White’s Gate near Farmleigh.The first one is the greek orthodox on Arbour Hill… the second one is blessington basin, I thopugh the lodge might throw people, obviously not…
Is 3 the door of Bodkin’s, maybe?
(I’m clutching at straws [obviously] on foot of your ‘easy…to architects’ clue.)
All order seems to broken down on this thread.
As far as I can tell, were still looking for a bunch of heads (surely K & L must be Hardwick St Church, if G is), a garishly tiled entrance lobby, a door knocker featuring a hand fondling a knob (is it a religious house by any chance?) and a plaque with something on it about public lighting & water meter station (no picture supplied)!
If that’s where we’re at, now might be a good time to throw in some sketches, which may not be very accurate, of some houses that aren’t there any more, with the same question: where?
X
YOne is dated ’24 Jan 1982′ and I think the other would be from about the same time, or slightly later.
Gunter, is X beside the Pepper Cannister Church? to the west side of it?
