Where is this? Game

Swiper the fox · 2015-03-03 11:50:22

Ok, I'm a bit bored today and I'm home in front of my laptop. A similar game is played on the Cool vids and pics forum, I don't expect this will last long but it might be a distraction for some of us for a while anyway:o Post a picture of a place in Limerick, remove any obvious clues and people guess or tell us where it…

Obviously I'll go first.:p Clues can start after a few guesses

Not sure where that is. Maybe around windmill street? I know this proved popular here before. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056252749

Not Windmill street
Oops, didn't know there was a similar thread before, still it was a long time ago so hopefully a few more will bite on this.

I'll give a clue later on if it's still not got.

You're right, how could you have cheated? Surely you didn't drive around the whole of Limerick on google earth?

Do you want to put something up or pass it so somebody else can have a go?

The picture has a 2015 stamp on it and the house has a for sale sign on it so I checked the auctioneers website :P

Let someone else have a go. Am on the phone for now so its too much hassle. Will post myself when I'm on the computer later

I was just google mapping around that area! I realised the house with the windows in the roof in the bottom right looked way too familiar. I'm living just two minutes away from there.
