BENCHMARKS continued
Passing through the main street of the County Louth village of Collon on the way to the far northland, serendipity struck when a glance to the left discovered benchmark gold. A quick U-turn and two exposures recorded it for posterity. Unlike most of the 'marks on the Liffey bridges this one, with its sharp lines and deep cuts, looks practically pristine. It's unlikely there is any finer in all Ireland. The burden of the long journey ahead was much lightened.
Above: Main Street, Collon looking east. the 'mark can be seen through the bars of the gate, on the corner of the building.
