BENCHMARKS continued



Another batch supplied by Michael Byrne contains this one, located on a sand & cement rendered wall on Breffni Road at it's junction with Sandycove Avenue East in Dublin. Michael notes approvingly that “Having rendered the wall, amazingly they then cut the screed back to expose the 'mark to daylight, unlike so many others that are lost forever to similar finishing”.
