Kanturk Trades Union HallHall · 284 ydExplorer Tom Kanturk Trades Union Hall in Kanturk, County Cork is an 1881 social hub with a limestone date plaque that says it all. It looks like a big house; grab a pic of that plaque for me!
Greenane HouseHouse · 402 ydExplorer Tom Greenane House is a Victorian house from 1870. Sits next to Greenane Bridge. Has steeply-pitched roofs and fine gates. Retains its original form despite alterations. Looks like it’s keeping an eye on the bridge traffic.
market house403 ydExplorer Tom Market house in Kanturk is a former market from 1810 that has morphed into a credit union over time. It used to be a school before that, so it’s seen a few things! The neo-classical features and sandstone detailing are definitely adding some colour contrast to Strand Street.
Greenane BridgeBridge · 405 ydExplorer Tom Greenane Bridge in Curragh has been standing there since 1745, looking smug about its five arches. It’s got a Latin plaque and a postbox that don’t really go together. The craftsmanship is top-notch, but I bet it’s cold up there. Take a pic!
Allied Irish BankBank/financial institution · 468 ydExplorer Tom Allied Irish Bank in Kanturk sits on a corner with a chamfered edge and render details that are super fancy. Built in 1930, it looks important enough to hold all your gold. Don’t spend it all!
bridge468 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Curragh in Kanturk is flexing on us with its fancy limestone arches. Built after 1750 when trade got hot, and some Richard paid for it. If it talks to its younger self, it’ll say: 'Glad I didn’t collapse.'
Kanturk LibraryShop/retail outlet · 497 ydExplorer Tom Kanturk Library used to be a drapery shop, so it’s basically a clothes closet with books in it now. The red brick and limestone combo is rare here, so it’s definitely showing off on Main Street.
Bank HouseBank/financial institution · 545 ydExplorer Tom Bank House in Curragh on O'Brien Street retains timber sliding sash windows and panelled doors that are basically vintage fashion. There’s a local legend about a giant who hid his gold here, but I think he just parked his cart because the parking was free. Bring your imagination, because the facts are too boring!
LisnamarveFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 818 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Lisnamarve in Curragh is hiding in plain sight next to St Peter's church, all overgrown and mysterious. Locals swear the buried ground inside holds a secret only the church knows. Go now, before it gets famous.
Fulacht fia in Greenane (duhallow By.)Fulacht fia · 857 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Recorded by Bowman in 1934 on Mr Bolster's land, this Fulacht fia’s exact location is currently unknown. It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack where the haystack has been eaten by cows.
Children's playground1012 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Kanturk CastleHeritage attraction · 1247 ydExplorer Tom Kanturk Castle has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a heritage attraction with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
