Church of Our Lady of the AssumptionChurch/chapel · 87 ydExplorer Tom Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Ballyfermot is sick of being asked how much those mahogany seats cost. It was built in 1953 to seat nearly two thousand people because everyone wanted to be there. If you ask one more time about the budget, the priest might excommunicate you.
post box178 ydExplorer Tom Post box in County Dublin is wearing a Carron Scotland badge like it’s royalty, but it’s just a 1960s mailman’s buddy. It stood on Ballyfermot Road watching the chaos unfold. Give it a thumbs up for me if you spot it!
Canon Troy HouseHouse · 345 ydExplorer Tom Canon Troy House is named after the first priest of Ballyfermot, but honestly, I think it just wants to complain about its own bargeboards to the council. It’s got carved details that need attention, not gossip.
Sabine TerraceHouse · 522 ydExplorer Tom Sabine Terrace on Saint Laurence Road is a pair of semi-detached houses from 1860 that look like they were designed by someone who read too much architecture books. It’s got round-headed doorcases and elliptical windows that are trying to be fancy. Tell the residents Tom says their house looks like it belongs in a magazine!
The LairChildren's playground · 593 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom The Lair in County Dublin is unknown territory, so assume it's full of wolves or just very aggressive toddlers. It's a playground, but 'Lair' sounds like you'll need a sword to get through.
Markievicz PlaygroundChildren's playground · 595 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Markievicz Playground in County Dublin is keeping its cards close to the chest. Legend says the slide leads directly to the bottom of the sea. Don’t believe me? Go find out yourself!
Church in ruins, GraveyardGraveyard · 755 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Church in ruins, Graveyard. Le Fanu Park used to be this graveyard, now completely landscaped over. The foundations are gone, but I like thinking that every park bench sits right on top of a 19th-century headstone.
Barracks in Unknown TownlandBarracks · 755 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Barracks in Dublin started because two lads bet they could build a wall before the rain stopped. They lost, but the barracks stayed anyway, which is how most good things happen here, so walk past slowly like you're in a film.
Executions of the leaders of the 1916 risingMemorial · 1.6 miExplorer 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.
Horse-chestnut1.8 miExplorer Tom Horse-chestnut in County Dublin is waiting for a cow that tried to buy it with a milk ticket last Tuesday. The cow left without paying and the tree is still fuming about the audacity of the whole situation. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting, trust me.
Castleknock CastleCastle · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Castleknock Castle in County Dublin is perched right on top of a big old mound, just showing off. It's next to a college, so maybe the students are living in ghost stories now?
Silver maple2.1 miExplorer Tom Silver maple in County Dublin is just a tree, but it looks like it's judging your life choices from its high perch. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted because the leaves are doing something fancy with the wind.
