Description: This reminds me of the Spencer Tracy film, "Bad day at Blackrock" so the question is which Blackrock is it. A really nice Mason shot to start this week. [/photos/129555378@N07/ sharon.corbet] Identified the Location as Blackrock Co. Dublin. She tells us that "The cross used to mark the boundary of the city of Dublin: In the centre of the village is a large block of granite, on which are the remains of an ancient cross; to this spot, which is the southern extremity of the city of Dublin, the lord mayor, with the civic authorities, proceeds when perambulating the boundaries of his jurisdiction."
