  Good morning Flickroonies and a very happy January Monday to you all. We have some very interesting photographs for your delectation this week beginning with this lovely view of a Public Park possibly in the Dublin area. We hope to see you all during the week and thank you in advance for your visits, comments, favourites and detective work. Have a great week!

  There's a picture of Sandymount Green from 1981 here, which looks fairly similar to me. (Particularly the roof of the building to the left of the tree in the middle.)

  Yes, I think this is Sandymount - just a stones throw from one of our toughest IDs ever! The fountain in the background is marked on the GeoHive OSI 25" map

  My vote is for Sandymount too, see Murphy's Medicines on streetview (not linking well for me), and the tram catenary as seen on Niall McAuley's map. *Grrrr @ flickr re notes*

  If you look at the megazoomable version in the archive, you can zoom in and read the street sign on the building with the shop awnings on it: SANDYMOUNT GREEN The gentleman in the foreground is a) wearing spats and b) playing an invisible drum.
