Ah a voiceover artist who can speak correctly – how refreshing.
Anyone care to guess where this curious little chappie resides?
He’s in the city centre, and most unusually, the only animal carving on the entire dressed stone building.

Nope, they’re all between the canals.
Paul is right about the first one.
I thought it would be the toughest. I’m impressed !
Nelson’s Pillar
Not sure if this is the appropriate thread, but I don’t know how to open a new one.
Just wondered if people might be interested in Nelson’s progress (downfall) in 1966.

Yep, or the old Dunlop factory………..
Hope I’m doing this right. If not please tell me.
Four shots, within the canals, in Dublin below for guessing. I have labeled them V-Z to avoid confusion with any other current images.

ZHold on a minute there photopol, we don’t know what these are yet
I know the Victorian brick gable, but I can’t think of the name of the building, . . . . or where it is
doesn’t count as a answer I don’t suppose :confused:
The latter piece of tat is from the larger piece of tat on Harcourt Street – the new infill building. Shocking stuff.
The lead lion is from Newman House alright, from which Richard Whaley’s son famously jumped for a bet onto the roof of a carriage out on the road. Luckily for him, if not for his contemporaries, he lived to tell the tale.
The brick gable is extremely annoying.
The limestone pediment is clearly a flourish atop a Victorian commercial building of some kind, with a large limestone chimney stack to the rear – Lower Grafton Street or somesuch.
Oh, and sorry Global, the little urchin chappie isn’t on the O’Callaghan’s Chance/ICS building at O’Connell Bridge. Good guess though 🙂
. . . . we just have to follow proper proceedures photopoll, or the whole system breaks down 😉
having said that, is the last one [Z] the Gilbert Library on pearse St. ?
Is this one Walton’s music store on South Great Georges St.?
Gunter
[Z] is the Gilbert, well done.
I’m a great one for procedures myself. Alternative is anarchy.
How do I know when a new set can be started? I guess I was a bit overenthusiastic, trying to figure out the mechanics of the site and flying through past posts checking what had already been covered.
😮
