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 picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer 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.
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.
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 picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer 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!
JailPrison · 736 ydExplorer Tom Jail in Dublin is Kilmainham Gaol, one of Europe's biggest unoccupied prisons. It saw heroic and tragic events from the 1780s to the 1920s. Go in and feel the weight of all those political prisoners.
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.
Stone of RemembranceMonument · 1034 ydExplorer Tom Stone of Remembrance in County Dublin says their names live forever, which is a bold claim considering most of us forget our own names on Monday mornings, so maybe keep your head up if you hear whispers.
Éamonn CeanntMemorial · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Éamonn Ceannt in County Dublin led the Easter Rising and got executed at Kilmainham. A heavy hitter for a memorial spot. Give him some respect if you pass by his marker today.
