BENCHMARKS continued

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

Above: On Vico Road looking east with Sorrento Terrace in the distance and 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.

 

NUMBER 466

BENCHMARKS continued

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.

NUMBER 465

BENCHMARKS continued

Just a few steps north from Atlanta and on the opposite side of Colliemore Road, at the bottom of a gate pillar at the entrance to Springfield House, is this one.

 Above: Looking north on Colliemore Road with the 'mark at left at the bottom of the gate pillar. Nearby, M.C. takes instructions from H.Q.

NUMBER 464

BENCHMARKS continued

We're back on Colliemore Road, and near its junction with Nerano Road, in Dalkey for this one. Its on the gate pillar of a house named Atlanta.

NUMBER 463

BENCHMARKS continued

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.

Above: Looking north on Knock-Na-Cree Road with the 'mark on the wall at right - on the middle one of the three well pointed blocks.

NUMBER 462

BENCHMARKS continued

On a gate pillar on Sorrento Close in Dalkey is this one.

 Above: Looking west on Sorrento Close with the 'mark at the bottom of the pillar, nearest, of the cobweb gate.

NUMBER 461

BENCHMARKS continued

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?
