The intention with this website is to locate at least 1,001 benchmark sites, or die in the attempt (no flowers please, house private). Photos of any benchmark sites found will be posted at intervals over the coming days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries ... Anyone who wishes to contribute can send photos and descriptions of any benchmarks they find and would like to have included here, to mfbourke@gmail.com See post Number 1 for a fuller description.

NUMBER 12

BENCHMARKS continued

This is quite a beauty - a full bodied peach of a benchmark in a superb location. A particular favourite, it is located on the pillar to the right of the steps at the front of Saint Stephen's Anglican Church (a.k.a. the Peppercanister Church) on Mount Street Crescent, Dublin 2. It's literally a stone's throw from the building on Herbert Street where Benchmarker resided in a small but imperfectly formed apartment for nine eventful years in the long unforgotten past. Barring unforeseen eventualities, this one should also last as long as the city.


Above: St Stephen's Church - the 'mark is located to the right of the steps and below the metal lamp-holder.
