    Bo,
    The one captioned burst pipe Summerhill is wrong ...for some reason it comes up as that location a lot

    Its at the corner of Gardiner Street upper and Dorset Street Lower
    Father Browne was attached to Gardiner street church at the time only a few yards away from the photo

    You can see the Red Star Tea shop in the background and a Barbers pole at its doorway
    There was a hairdressers above the shop
    I,ve included a street directory showing Dorset street fron NCR to Eccles place
    There was a bike shop in 91 on this directory

    It also shows Dorset Avenue at 96
    This is in the huge overengineered arch almost 3 storeys high in the photo back left
    Yes John, you’re Right. Here is an up to date picture of the same location. Note the railings around the “area “

      They built them to last then for sure
      Here is another photo of the arch into Dorset Avenue which is in the Father Briwne photo above
      Does anyone know why its entrance is so high because it seems to drop further in with perhaps rooms supported by joists or beams

                    I was wondering who would spot the deliberate mistake first.

                          Thats a great photo of the Bank of Ireland
                          I never seen that one before
                          Its amazing whats hidden behind a lot of buildings in Dublin
                          Those chimneys for instance
                          The one on the right belonged to the Bank
                          The one on the left belonged to the Dublin Corporation electricity generating station in Fleet Street near Anglesea street corner
                          It closed when the ESB itself took over as electricty was generated from the Pigeon House power station
                          The building itself stayed in the ESB fold

                            John I was going to ask a question about the chimneys, because I never remember seeing them. Also the picture to the right of the John's Lane church, the wide cobbled area, where is that, looking at it, it looks like John's Lane spire is in the background and a small item on the left that looks a bit like the top of the Rotunda hospital.

                              As Cosmo says the photo is of Smithfield
                              Its looking out towards the Liffey with Saint John's church showing in the background in Thomas street
                              The cupola is of Saint Pauls church on Arran Quay
                              It would remind you of the Rotunda

                                Thanks for that John, looking back I missed the word Smithfield. Also I could not remember the word cupola.
