NUMBER 587

BENCHMARKS continued

If you were to guess that this one is another 'mark on a railway bridge from M.C., you would be correct. And M.C. promises that it is the last such; for now. He is threatening that there are more out there to be recorded. You have been warned. This one is on Victoria Road in Greystones, County Wicklow.
