Explorer Tom Church of the Holy Child in County Dublin replaced a 'Tin Church' and was dedicated in 1957. It’s a striking Italianate brick affair. Get a shot of the campanile, it stands out!

Explorer Tom Post box in County Dublin is a round cast-iron pillar from around 1940 made by St. John's Works. It's all about that 'P&T' insignia in Gaelic lettering, which is nice and local. The dentillated frieze is doing its best to look classical. Just drop a letter in if you're feeling nostalgic.

Explorer Tom Highfield Hospital was originally called the Lunatic Asylum on the maps, which makes me wonder if the building still feels a bit crazy. It’s been used for healthcare since about 1857, so it probably knows more secrets than any doctor. Ask if the dormer attic has any stories to tell!

Explorer Tom The Icehouse near Beaumont House is buried under grass and railings like a forgotten treasure chest from the 1850s. It used to keep ice for the sisters, now it’s just hiding out in the bushes. Peek through the fence and see if it’s still cold inside.

Explorer Tom This Water Tower in Hampstead Avenue was built in 1880 to hold water but now it’s a house! It’s got polychrome brick that is absolutely screaming for attention, so snap a photo of those decorative bargeboards!

Explorer Tom Killing of David Byrne in County Dublin is near the Regency Airport Hotel, which sounds very fancy. The death happened close to a main route. Take a pic of the hotel and pretend you’re checking in for good.

Explorer Tom Ballymun in County Dublin is doing some serious redevelopment, mostly by turning office blocks into things that look like office blocks. It's a deprived part of Dublin, so bring a scarf for luck.

Explorer Tom Tree of Heaven in County Dublin is showing off a German photo. It’s feeling cosmopolitan. Ask it if it actually flies or if it just gets very dizzy at the top.

Explorer Tom Another Hybrid Strawberry Tree in County Dublin, still waiting for its fruit to ripen. It's probably stuck in time and space. Ask it if it has any berries left over.

Explorer Tom Glasnevin Cemetery is the whole historic area, not just the office. It’s got Daniel O’Connell’s tomb with a fake round tower on top. Snap that symbolic structure if you’re wandering around!

Explorer Tom Michael Collins in County Dublin is resting in Glasnevin Cemetery, according to the pictures. He's a legend, no doubt about it. Visit his final resting spot and give him a quiet salute!

Explorer 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.
