With
the light declining fast, M.C. and Benchmarker managed to record a
shaky image of this one at the entrance to Mount Salus in Dalkey, and
then departed with a hope that they might return ere long.

Further
up Vico Road on the same side as the last one and just beside the
railway bridge is this one.

the 'mark on the gate pillar at right. Dalkey looks so well in
Summertime that Benchmarker would almost consider moving there and
abandoning the small but perfectly formed mansion in Dublin 8.

This
one is really, really, really, really, really difficult to see in the
photograph; and nearly as difficult to spot in meat space. M.C. was
yet to adopt the chalk technique so it will have to be taken on
trust. It's on Vico Road at the entrance to Sorrento Cottage.

Do
not adjust your viewing device, and no matter what anyone tells you,
this one is on Knock-Na-Cree Road and not on the Vico Road. Mea
culpa from Benchmarker and gratitudo to M.C. for rescuing
a critical situation.

This
one, on a wall pillar about halfway along the north side of Victoria
Road in Dalkey, is not marked on any map, leading to the conclusion
that it may have been placed there as a result of architectural
salvage at another location. Who knows?

During
that halcyon June afternoon in Dalkey, for M.C. and Benchmarker,
Colliemore Road was the gift that just kept on giving. This one is
near its junction with Victoria Road at the entrance to Victoria
Lodge.

Still
in Dalkey and still on Colliemore Road, this one is on a gate pillar
near to the Cliff Castle. It seems there has been a castle on this
site for a long time though it's doubtful if any trace of the original
remains.

Buoyed
by the early Summer success of the Navan campaign, M.C. and
Benchmarker straight away launched into another joint venture to the
village of Dalkey in County Dublin. The resultant photos were then
filed on Benchmarker's computer under the title 'The Dalkey Achieve'
(good, eh!).
The
first one was found on Castle Street.
