On a fine day at the end of Summer this one was spotted on the north side of Dublin Street in Kildare Town on a building that is now the home of the Racing Legends Museum but was previously the courthouse.

NUMBER 841

BENCHMARKS continued



After Blaney it was on to the county town of Monaghan. On getting out of the car before starting the hunt there M.C. donned a baseball cap and sunglasses. He still hardly uttered a word but it was now obvious that whatever was going on, he was anxious not to be recognised. At this occurrence Benchmarker decided not to probe, but rather to wait for a suitable opportunity before gently enquiring. So it was almost in silence then. that this one was spotted on the south side of Dublin Street.

NUMBER 664

BENCHMARKS continued



As M.C. and Benchmarker toured Balbriggan they were surprised to discover that it does not have a Queen Street. Strange that. Perhaps it will change in the future. Anyway, this one is on the Dublin Street side of the Courthouse in Balbriggan, County Dublin.
