Any idea where this church is?

JoeTheLesser · 31-03-2013 8:10pm #1

Trying to track it down,

Not even sure if its in Ireland if I'm honest but a few other pictures have been pointing to it being here. Mostly :

If anyones interested as to where it comes from it is vaguely related to the game Call of Duty. Jimmy Zielinkski is one of the developers and has been posting images that may relate to another map in the game.

I did think about posting this in the associated game forum but considering the doubt thats been raised about the photo its more a matter of personal curiosity now.

Any help/ideas would be great, really at a loss now on where this might be.

It's quarter to 7 on the clock so it's not in Ireland anyway because it's quarter past 9 in Ireland now.

Ted_YNWA · 31-03-2013 8:15pm

If you ask Jimmy, will he tell you ?

It looks a bit like the Church of St George and St Thomas (COI) on Cathal Brugha Street (Dublin).

A bit, but I don't think that has a clock like that, nor the high rise building behind it.

The R247 is in Donegal afaik, so the reference to 'Kerryk' is odd.

The second pic seems to refer to Kerrykeel, Donegal and it's attendant R247 road.

JoeTheLesser · 31-03-2013 8:32pm

The second photo is very odd I noticed that too thats part of my suspicion about the whole thing. He dosen't tend to supply any information directly so asking him probably won't work. Could be, as I'm beginning to suspect that the chuch and the high rise building are two seperate locations and they've been photoshopped together as the road sign might have been. Alternatively the road sign could have been somewhere in the middle? But I'm not even sure that either place would be on the sign then.

Noticed that I called it a chuch in the thread title, could just as easily be a cathedral.

Thats a fantastic find on the sign still, I didn't even believe the two places could feature on the same sign!

Spear · 31-03-2013 9:04pm

Are you sure there's any reason to believe the church is in Ireland? Red brick churches aren't that common, plus the tall building behind would mean a major enough urban area, yet I can't find anything of it. Plus it looks more like the style of 18th century British architecture, or at least how it appears in Assassin's Creed 3.

The sign had R247 and half a village name. Google easily reveals that the R247 is a relatively short road in Co Donegal leading to Kerrykeel.

What's fantastic about that?

I mean finding a photo that features a sign with both words on it, usually very hard to find the source material that Jimmy used.

The church can't be ireland. I counted 24 floors on the building behind, looks like there's a few more you can't see. Tallest building in ireland is The Elysian, which is only 17 floors.

that skyscraper you saw next to it in Amsterdam must been a figment of your, ahem, imagination

keithsfleet · 12-04-2013 8:23pm

So what's the relation to the second picture jimmy gave?
He thinking of putting a San Fran Church in the middle of a small northern town in a map?

calnand · 12-04-2013 8:51pm

Could be an Irish pub maybe? There was a cork sign in a pub in rock band

Queen-Mise · 14-04-2013 3:57pm

There is a red brick church like that in Port Laois but there is definitely not a sky scraper like that behind it:)

M5 · 15-04-2013 2:26pm

could be a reference to 24/7, ie working 24/7

cplwhisper · 02-06-2013 10:41pm
