First Lodge of IrelandBuilding misc · 35 ydExplorer Tom First Lodge of Ireland in Cork City survived a fire and a full restore. It’s basically an action hero in a blazer. Go see if it’s still flexing its muscles on Tuckey Street, yeah?
Christian Brothers' SchoolsSchool · 207 ydExplorer Tom Christian Brothers' Schools in Cork City is hiding behind its fancy shops from 1828. Samuel Francis Hynes designed it in 1905, so pretend you’re just window shopping and not sneaking a peek at the history books!
Fire Station220 ydExplorer Tom Fire Station on Sullivan's Quay is a substantial late nineteenth-century former fire house that closes the axis with Grand Parade. It’s prominent enough to command attention without trying too hard. Saint Patrick would have loved the fire extinguishers here.
church/chapel247 ydExplorer Tom Church or chapel in Cork City is playing dress-up on Blackmore Lane. It’s got a Georgian flair but keeps getting rebuilt like it can’t make up its mind. If you see a ghost complaining about the terrace, tell them Tom said hi.
bridge255 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Cork City has been fighting the weather since the eighteenth century and winning. It’s mid-century engineering at its finest, or so they claim. Hum a tune for the river below.
St Nicholas ChurchBuilding misc · 295 ydExplorer Tom St Nicholas Church in Cork City has an archway so fancy it needs its own highlighter. I swear there’s a biscuit tin hidden somewhere in the limestone, definitely not a treasure. Bring your detective hat for this one!
Abbey (Site of)Religious house, Dominican friars · 329 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Abbey in Cork City was founded by Philip de Barry in 1229. There’s a wall fragment near a modern convent and some carved stones lying around. It feels like a puzzle piece missing from a bigger picture.
steps333 ydExplorer Tom Steps in Cork City is wearing its limestone like a bad wig. Built early nineteenth century when everyone was fancy-pants, it’s just standing there judging your footwear. If you hear a footstep that isn’t yours, don’t look back, Stan’s probably lost his keys again.

Church (Site of) (1949-50)Church · 355 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Church (1949-50) in Cork City was St. Mary Del Nard, demolished in 1634 for Elizabeth Fort. Henry III granted its patronage way back in the day. It’s all gone now, but the fort remains to tell the tale.
