As M.C. and Benchmarker toured Balbriggan they were surprised to discover that it does not have a Queen Street. Strange that. Perhaps it will change in the future. Anyway, this one is on the Dublin Street side of the Courthouse in Balbriggan, County Dublin.

This one is at the junction of the wall of two old buildings on the R128, a.k.a. the Skerries Road, at the crossroads at Ballykea, County Dublin. Plastered with whitewash, it is difficult to make out.

Like Butch and Sundance, M.C. and Benchmarker buddied up for yet another job and headed out along the trail to the north Dublin coast. First stop was at the wall that runs past the Rush Cricket Club on the Skerries Road, where both hunters were extra keen to be the one to spot the first one. With a cry of “Howzat!” M.C. pointed to the 'mark, leaving Benchmarker stumped and on the back foot (ouch!).

At the Pigeon House Road entrance to Ringsend Park in Dublin, is a building called the Syphon House. What it probably siphons is perhaps best left unsaid. Anyway this one is on that particular building.
