The intention with this website is to locate at least 1,001 benchmark sites, or die in the attempt (no flowers please, house private). 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 505

BENCHMARKS continued

M.C. (motto: Any Dream will Do) was accompanied by  Kara O'Brien when she spotted this one on Buckingham Lock - the middle one of three locks located where the Grand Canal meets the River Liffey - in Dublin City.



Below: The 'mark at Buckingham Lock. A flattie - somewhat indistinct right in the centre of the photo - it is greatly worn by generations of footfalls onto and off the pedestrian bridge. Sadly the current bridge that has replaced the original wooden-plank structure, is a hi-tec modern construction.
 
 Above: A view across Grand Canal Dock. The 'mark is located near the footbridge step.
