  Marvellous - and to add to the architecture the once familiar street furniture of Dublin - a CIE 'circular' bus stop flap and a Stanton 6B concrete street lamp standard.

  I wondered how Baggot Street got that name ... "Baggot Street (Irish: Sráid Bhagóid) is a street in Dublin, Ireland. It is named after Baggotrath, the manor granted to Robert Bagod in the 13th century. He built Baggotrath Castle, which was partly destroyed during the Battle of Rathmines and demolished in the early nineteenth century.The street was called Baggot Street in 1773. ... ... : Via en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baggot_Street

  Walked/bused that route everyday for 5 years. (Office off Baggot St. Living northside). Bus stop still in same place. (Handy for junction with Pembroke St). 24 Baggot Street was (is?) a "holistic medical" centre. I wonder if the chap pictured is on his way for a session in a flotation tank? (Shadow is interesting. Did one of the Wiltshires perhaps capture their own elbows protruding from the base of a signpost?)
