i think the red shack looking thing must be either up the laneway leading from college street to crowes butchers..or.. up river street?

and right so.... my ones.... the church is at the olde post inn (cloverhill),
the crows are on the sign as you come into ballyhaise from cootehill,
the skull and crossbones are on bishop william bedells grave at kilmore cathedral near crossdoney.

post #9, picture 4 is the side wall of what once used to be Septic Sams, think it's Luigi's now. it's always changing ownership.:rolleyes:

Correct on number 4. Not correct on no. 3.

So 1 and 3 in post #9 are still outstanding.
