Photos of any benchmark sites found will be posted at intervals over the coming days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries ... Anyone who wishes to contribute can send photos and descriptions of any benchmarks they find and would like to have included here, to mfbourke@gmail.com See post Number 1 for a fuller description.

NUMBER 485

BENCHMARKS continued

Another from M.C. It's on Connaught Street in Dublin City.

Below: A 'mark on Connaught Street.
 
Above: Looking west on Connaught Street. The 'mark is at the 'step-up' of the railings base. Sad to see that two of these fine old houses are boarded up. Back in the 60s, Benchmarker lodged at a similar house a little further up the street on the other side. So far no plaque has been erected on it.
