Second one i think is in Trim?

I'm afraid not.

and the last one is Larch hill gardens?

Correct!

It's the 'Gibraltar' folly at Larch Hill.

Ive seen the big house before but dont know about that small one

The first photo's a bit of a cheeky angle: most people will be familiar with the featured building, albeit viewed from elsewhere. That's a bit of a clue, I think!

Headfort School in Kells? The back entrance to Slane Castle when you cross the bridge?

Neither of your guesses represent any of my photos, I'm afraid.

By the way, the entrance to Slane Demesne at the bridge is technically the front entrance. The entrance on the Navan road is the back entrance. That's why the estate farm is located closer to the back entrance, whereas the avenue leading from the front entrance is landscaped and what have you.

cue · 17-04-2008 11:14am

I stand corrected.

Is beta the entrance into the church in Navan?
Love this game- just found it!

No, not in Navan.

Is Gamma in Julianstown? The old schoolhouse along the main road?

Yes, well done.

I don't think it was a schoolhouse, but rather a former police barracks.

Just alpha and beta left. Clues for those. Alpha is a very famous house, but from behind rather than from in front. Beta is right in the centre of a Meath town. I'm completely shocked no one's got it yet. :eek:

What's especially interesting there are the eighteenth-century kerbstones, which are very pretty.

Just alpha left. A significant, major, historical house in the centre of Meath. As I said, it's an unusual angle. If you can't get it, I'll give a front shot of the house.

europerson · 21-04-2008 2:34pm

Find attached a front shot of alpha. This won't last long now!

cue · 21-04-2008 3:03pm

All these big old houses look the same to me. Is it Bellinteer?

corrado · 21-04-2008 3:22pm

Its going back a bit but is the hedge cut in the shape of two people
in the Credit Union gardens in Navan ???

It's not Bellinter. A broadly similar style, albeit alpha is larger and older.

marco murphy · 22-04-2008 7:22pm

I am at a loss myself, I'll go with Beauparc House as a guess?

europerson · 22-04-2008 8:58pm

It's not Beauparc, I'm afraid. I think I'll give it and let someone else put up a photo! Alpha is Ardbraccan House, the former seat of the Bishops of Meath.

God sake

Let see who gets this, easy enough one.

That really looks like the cemetery from the film "Pet Semetary". Creepy at night I'd say.

We demand more pictures!!

I'm new to this thread, so hello to all, I'm fairly sure that's a shop on Dunshaughlin main st. would I be right in saying it's called "Trousseau"?

bitemybanger · 06-05-2008 8:16pm

Beat you to it, just didnt know the spelling:p

I have a picture of the sign, and I still cant spell it, never mind say it.

Would anyone object if we allowed more than one picture to be open at any one time? I havent a clue where Bitemybanger's one is from, and it may be a while before someone gets it. Might help the thread keep ticking over if there are 2 or 3 running simultaneously.

Quality · 09-05-2008 10:04pm

I think thats a good idea... Go for it...

bitemybanger · 10-05-2008 4:17pm

HEHE:p, I knew that would get ya
Here is another one from the same place, might be a bit easier

bitemybanger · 10-05-2008 4:23pm

And another form a different place

Archeron · 11-05-2008 6:16pm

As I ponder bitemybangers pictures above, I thought I'd throw a couple up.

(there sure are a lot of ruins in this county)
