On his extensive trawl of the area centred around Adelaide Road in Dublin, about two or three years ago, M.C. failed to spot this one; and so it fell to Benchmarker once again to come along and mop-up after him. It's on the old railway terminal building, now some sort of cafe, on the east side of Harcourt Street near the junction with Adelaide Road.

BENCHMARKS continued

On the eve of Christmas Eve, Benchmarker encountered this one. It's in County Tyrone on the Old Bridge Road on the old bridge that spans the Derg River just before it merges with the Strule to become the Mourne; further downstream the Mourne and the Finn will merge to become the mighty Foyle.
