That was fast, Damn i thought B would have people guessing longer. Absolutely correct Phibsoro shopping center.
Not to sure about your answer for A. Is Peter Murray the architect for the first image i put up or for the second (my A).
Is the first (unlettered) one Fitzwilliam Tennis Club? In which case it’s Sam Stephenson, if I remember correctly.
D is on Meeting House Square, I think- ODT’s School of Photography?
The path in E looks like Lutyens’s War Memorial at Islandbridge, though I can’t place the bellcote.
No idea on F. (I knew A and C, though!)
Very good. D: School of Photography taken from the first floor, with the wall of Charlies III framed.
The other two not so good. No War memorial and no tennis club pictured. Guess again.
A colleague who is too modest to reply himself has suggested that E is the chapel in Grangegorman. Seems like a strong candidate to me.
You got it, or at least your colleague did. Then again all the glory goes to the person who posts the right answer first.
A quick shot looking the other way, the bell tower gives it away pretty quick:
And what is left of the chapel:
The first image and F still need answering. Although, looking at it now i think F is outside of the canal boundary so technically not allowed.
This is the last of them so. Already ran out of images. One of these is a bit unfair, give it a go.
A
B
C
D
D is the Dental Hospital in TCD.
A looks like Mountjoy Women’s Prison, but that’s a guess.
Is C also in Trinity? Looks very familiar.
B- don’t know. Docklands? Nice bit of yellow brick. Or is it red? And what type of pointing is it? Hmmm… 😉

They were answered quickly. And ctesiphon is on the ball again. D and C are sound, both in Trinity alright: dentist Hospital and … -your going to have to be more specific with C to get full marks I’m afraid.
B and D are unfortunately a double no, although on the right track.
By the by here is the full uncropped first image i posted for which I’m still looking for information on.
Had a quick google for Peter Murray as to DOC’s reply, seems like there are two architecture Murrays one who is the curator at the Crawford and another who is the founder of Blueprint magazine. Is this my man? Anyone know any more details about the building, or who could point me the right direction?
Another another puzzler just to keep this thread on target, where is this delightful sculpture to be found:
Bears an uncanny resemblance to starving cows in the Sahara i find.
The two almost parallel ranges are throwing me slightly on the other Trinity one- is it beside Aras An Phiarsaigh on Pearse Street / behind Botany Bay? Then again, the white bit at the end looks like the Engineering building at the Westland Row end… (notjim- help!)
I think the cow is in that square beside the Jervis Centre- drawing a blank on the name just now (brain gone to mush from too much Eurovision- poor Portugal *sob*).
