Church of Our Lady of the AssumptionChurch/chapel · 175 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 box297 ydExplorer Tom Post box in County Dublin is an anonymous pillar box from around 1890. No royal cipher, just 'POST' and 'OFFICE'. It’s sitting in a car park but still looks classy. Take a pic of the moulded corona.
Saint John's CollegeHouse · 361 ydExplorer Tom Saint John's College in County Dublin is a house with a Doric portico that looks like it’s posing for a photo. Built 1745, it was used by Orson Welles once. I bet the walls are still whispering about it.
Canon Troy HouseHouse · 449 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.
The LairChildren's playground · 461 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.
Church in ruins, GraveyardGraveyard · 543 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.
Markievicz PlaygroundChildren's playground · 768 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!
Sabine TerraceHouse · 777 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!
WeirWeir, fish · 1000 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom A fish weir at Chapelizod, granted to Sir William Wyse in 1524. It used to catch salmon for the mills. Ring your granny and tell her where you are; she probably knows more about fishing than I do.
Executions of the leaders of the 1916 risingMemorial · 1.7 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.
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?
Horse-chestnut2.0 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.
