Grand CanalLock · 68 ydExplorer Tom Grand Canal lock in Dublin is officially number one, but honestly? It’s just the second one pretending to be first. Limestone flexing hard. If anyone asks you who built it, blame the Grand Canal Company and run.
Children's playground209 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Children's playground in County Dublin. The swings are out of phase with reality. Time moves differently here. I bet an hour feels like a minute. Go test the theory for me.
Goldenbridge CemeteryGates/railings/walls · 304 ydExplorer Tom Goldenbridge Cemetery’s walls are hugging the burial grounds like they’re guarding a secret treasure, which they technically are. Bring biscuits if you fancy chatting with the dead, but don’t get too cozy with the sexton’s house!
barracks363 ydExplorer Tom Barracks in County Dublin is a former Richmond Barracks block now just sitting there looking disused and broody. It held the leaders of the 1916 Rising, which is heavy stuff for what looks like a school. Check the walls for hidden history.
Richmond BarracksBarracks · 389 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Richmond Barracks: Built between 1807 and 1810 but not occupied until 1814. Did the soldiers have to wait three whole years for their keys? That is an awkward amount of standing about in the rain.
Saint Anne'sPresbytery/parochial/curate's house · 392 ydExplorer Tom Saint Anne’s presbytery on Goldenbridge Walk was built c.1890 with decorative brick and granite detailing. It’s now a private house but still looks like it’s waiting for the priest to come home and judge your cooking, so mind the limestone walls.
Old boundary stone398 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Old boundary stone in County Dublin is number twenty-five on the north side. It’s probably just counting heads, or maybe waiting for a parade that never happens.
gate lodge430 ydExplorer Tom This gate lodge on Saint Vincent Street West was built around 1880 with cross motifs, probably for a church. It's got decorative brick detailing that shows real craftsmanship. It's disused now, so just peek at the eaves from the street!
Inchicore Primary Care CentreBarracks · 443 ydExplorer Tom Inchicore Primary Care Centre was once Richmond Barracks, where they held the Rising leaders before court-martial. I reckon they still hear boots marching on the ceiling at night, probably just the heating pipes being dramatic about their own pressure issues. Get there before lunchtime!
games roomChildren's playground · 684 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Games room in County Dublin is private and full of unknowns. No account, so maybe the board games summon spirits? Snap a shot for me if you can get inside!
Executions of the leaders of the 1916 risingMemorial · 772 ydExplorer Tom Executions of the leaders of the 1916 rising is pointing at Kilmainham Gaol like it’s blaming the building for everything. Fourteen guys got the axe, but this spot just wants you to feel dramatic about the whole bloody affair.
Bully's AcreGraveyard · 929 ydExplorer Tom Bully's Acre in County Dublin sounds like it’s got some serious attitude. I bet the ghosts there are still arguing about who’s the boss.
