BENCHMARKS continued
Bidding
adieu to Slane, with Benchmarker alongside a taciturn M.C. in
the driver's seat, the next stop was in Ardee in County Louth to
check the bridge that shows a 'mark on the 25” maps. Benchmarker
has looked here several times, but sometimes a fresh eye can make all
the difference. However no luck; and so it was on to Carrickmacross
where in its back alleyways, garage bands were belting out the R&B, rehearsing for the
Street Festival on the following Sunday.
Where
O'Neill Street becomes the R179, on the south wall of the old
graveyard is this one, which someone has acknowledged by haloing it
with a crown of green.
