Those streets are not in Dingle, they are near the centre at the bottom of Park Lane. The Customs House was fire bombed in Canning Place. I think the buildings opposite St James Cinema were bombed. Nothing actually on Park Place and Park Rd was bombed, although streets off these were. The corner of Hill St and Mill was bombed I believe.

The empty lots along the bottom of Park Lane were bomb sites, like near opposite the Swedish church.
