Graveyard in Rossbrien

Explorer Tom Kilbride refuses to fall down because it’s holding onto its round-arched door opening like it’s the last shred of dignity left on the terrace. It’s the only one with a two-storey bay window, which makes it look like it’s wearing a very fancy hat. Spot it from the road and let me know if it looks proud or just stubborn.

Explorer Tom Marymount is teaching history by accident because it looks symmetrical until you realise the windows are slightly crooked and judging you. It’s a semi-detached mess of architecture that somehow works out in the end. Mind the nettles, they’re prickly critics.

Explorer Tom May Ville in Limerick has a family tree full of made-up cousins and strut-work gables. It’s showing off those Edwardian features for anyone who cares, so count the crows, then count the windows if you’re feeling cheeky!

Explorer Tom Grianán on Querrin Villas is planning a very quiet retirement with its neighbour. They share a porch and probably a pot of tea, but never let on to anyone else. Find the date carved somewhere and whisper it back.

Explorer Tom Belvedere in Limerick is where the local giant supposedly dropped his hat and broke the dormer windows. He’s been sulking in that porch ever since, refusing to look out properly. Count the crows, they’re his lawyers.

Explorer Tom Melrose in Limerick has three bay windows that look suspiciously like they're judging your outfit choice. Saint Patrick would probably just call it 'too many windows for one house' and move on. Don't let them see you wiping your nose!

Explorer Tom Rose Villa on Ballinacurra Road has very strong opinions about modern buildings, calling them 'flat and boring like a pancake.' It’s one of two houses with paired gates that look like they’re guarding a treasure chest. If you see it, tell it I think its porch doors are actually secret trapdoors.

Explorer Tom Carramore in Limerick is posting its three-sided bay window on Instagram with the caption 'Living my best uniform life.' It’s part of a clique that all look exactly like each other, which is either cool or terrifying. Give it a little wave from across the street and hope it doesn’t get jealous.

Explorer Tom Brookville in Limerick claims Vikings got lost looking for it because they couldn’t find the parking spot. The uPVC windows scream 'modern' while the rest screams 'old'. Tell me if the gothic vibes are strong enough.

Explorer Tom Castle in Rathurd is having a rivalry with a more famous place down the road, but it’s too busy being a house to care. The circular shape is just its way of saying 'go around me.' Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

Explorer Tom Limerick Seamen’s Memorial has strict rules: no running, no shouting, and definitely no wet socks. It remembers when ships were bringing goods into Ireland while we sat out the war. Practise your Irish on it, it won’t correct you.

Explorer Tom Castle Troy would ask Saint Patrick to bless its foundation stones. It stands on the Shannon bank, having survived since 1197 without breaking a sweat. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
