NUMBER 509

BENCHMARKS continued

Is it a Rothko; a De Kooning; or even perhaps a Gilsenen? No, it is none of these. Rather it is the 'mark on Charles Street at its junction with South Street in New Ross, County Wexford, as recorded by M.C. Fellas have paid millions for stuff not nearly as good!

BENCHMARKS continued

This one, recorded by M.C. on Chapel Lane at its junction with Mary Street in New Ross, County Wexford, is on an intriguing structure. Was it a doorway; a window; or had it some other function? And what is that tap doing sticking out of the wall? Benchmarker would like to know.
