    Basic rule of the game - We just throw up some cryptic pics or ones from strange angles, and we must then try and guess where in Waterford (city preferably) they were taken.

    This first one is actually not as difficult as you may first think.

    It's a shop window. I thought it was cool that they still had old stock in the window...and probably boxs of sweets inside that they sold by the quarter. But, as some observant soul pointed out, the expiry date on the selection box is 1991. How cool is that?? i may have got a box like that for my christmas that year...when I was 10...

    Sorry I was waiting, in order to generate some gratuitous suspense!

    dazftw you nearly got it in one, that shabby (usually) run of steps between Thomas St or is it Meeting House Lane and Barker St.

    It looks very like an estate near the Waterford Castle Hotels entrance, but I dont recall any of those being built that far back.
