Cultural GardenGarden · 68 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Cultural Garden in County Dublin is hosting a silent concert by underground roots. The flowers bloom in colors that don’t exist on Earth. Look closely; if you see purple-blue-green, snap a photo and send it!
Saint Brendan's HospitalHospital/infirmary · 109 ydExplorer Tom Saint Brendan's Hospital in Grangegorman Lower was part of a lunatic asylum expansion in 1850. The gabled breakfronts are pure Gothic Revival. Take a picture of the symmetry from afar!
Saint Laurence's Chapel, Saint Brendan's HospitalChurch/chapel · 133 ydExplorer Tom Saint Laurence's Chapel is hiding in Grangegorman Lower, built around 1850 for lunatics, or rather, asylum patients. It’s Gothic Revival with nice limestone detailing that Murray & Denny really nailed. It looks like it’s waiting for a very long service.
weighbridge/weighhouse198 ydExplorer Tom Weighbridge on Grangegorman Upper dates back to 1922 and used to weigh stuff at Richmond Penitentiary. Now it’s just sitting there looking confused. I bet it’s still waiting for a heavy cart to arrive.
post box204 ydExplorer Tom Grangegorman post box has Celtic lettering on it, which is a nice touch. It’s cast iron from Stirlingshire and looks sturdy. A subtle reminder of our independence. Give it a little wave.
Children's playground252 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Another Children's playground in County Dublin that looks like it's waiting to pounce. The monkey bars might be rigged with traps. Go carefully and try not to get stuck up there!
London Plane685 ydExplorer Tom London Plane number three in County Dublin is just standing there looking annoyed. The photo shows a trunk that looks like a monster. Take a picture before it bites you!
Chinese Toon936 ydExplorer Tom Chinese Toon in County Dublin? That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it? The picture shows a temple, not this. It's playing dress-up as an ancient wise man.
Royal BarracksBarracks · 937 ydExplorer Tom Royal Barracks: The very first Dublin barracks, built on land bought from the Duke of Ormonde in the early 1700s. It sounds like a real estate deal where the landlord got paid in military discipline and noise.
Irish Volunteers memorialMonument · 947 ydExplorer Tom Irish Volunteers memorial in County Dublin was chiselled by Leo Broe. He probably got paid in sandwiches. The sculpture looks like it’s thinking hard about lunch.

Croppies Acre MemorialMemorial · 1018 ydExplorer Tom Croppies Acre Memorial in County Dublin has a great exterior view waiting for you. It’s a memorial, so keep it dignified, but also check out the surroundings. The whole place looks like it’s posing for a history book cover.
IndicatedCathedral · 1601 ydExplorer Tom Cathedral. Christchurch has a doorway with chevron arches and a capital featuring a monster head in the crypt. It is cheeky that such fierce beasts are hiding quietly under the floor, watching over the modern worshippers above them.
