Capuchin MonasteryMonastery · 249 ydExplorer Tom Capuchin Monastery on Father Mathew Quay is staring right at me with its prominent quay-side location. It smells like old prayers and river water, which is exactly what I need. Hum a tune that sounds like it’s been forgotten by time and walk past quietly.
Fire Station252 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.
Holy Trinity Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 260 ydExplorer Tom Holy Trinity Catholic Church has a Regency Gothic style that looks like it stepped out of a fairy tale. Harry Clarke did the stained glass, so look up if you can get in. It's right on the quay side.
cobbles/flags/paving/kerbing263 ydExplorer Tom Cobbles in Cork City are old granite setts that survived when others got covered in concrete. They claim they're older than your grandad's bad decisions. Just walk gently.
Christian Brothers' SchoolsSchool · 279 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!
church/chapel282 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.
Caroline Street esb SubstationElectricity substation · 303 ydExplorer Tom Caroline Street esb Substation is a power plant dressed up as an architect’s dream. The metal doors are heavy because they’re full of secrets. Dare you to look inside without getting shocked by the sheer amount of vintage design.
Marian ShrineWayside shrine · 346 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Marian Shrine number four in County Cork is probably the quietest of the bunch. No records, just vibes. Snap a pic if it looks like it's sleeping.
Father MatthewMonument · 381 ydExplorer Tom Father Matthew monument in County Cork is probably still preaching about sobriety. Theobald Mathew was a legend, but this statue looks a bit stiff. Take a pic and say hi for me!
Lavitts QuayMemorial · 390 ydExplorer Tom Lavitts Quay has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial 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.
Cork Rooftop FarmGarden · 409 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Cork Rooftop Farm has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden 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.
Elizabeth FortHeritage attraction · 492 ydExplorer Tom Elizabeth Fort 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.
