Yesterday
I showed you B & W photographs of Dublin, so today we are back to colour and
these shots were taken as I walked past the Portland stone balustrades on the O’Connell
bridge towards College Green where I would be lunching in a marvellous
restaurant called “The Bank”.
(Don’t miss tomorrow’s post!)
Taken
from moving train before I reached Dublin.

Liffey
College
Green (Irish: Faiche an Choláiste) is a three-sided plaza in the centre of
Dublin. On its northern side is a building known today as the Bank of Ireland
which until 1800 was Ireland's Parliament House. (below)
To its east stands Trinity College Dublin. To its south stands a series of 19th-century buildings that are mostly banks. Streets leading onto College Green.

Bank of Ireland
The
Ulster Bank Entrance.
We are nearly there for our luncheon date so see you tomorrow.
