Northgate HouseApartment/flat (purpose-built) · 29 ydExplorer Tom Northgate House on Kyrl's Quay is a 1990s drama queen designed to evoke the old medieval gate, which means it thinks it’s much older than it actually is. It’s tall and dramatic, just like your ex at a wedding. Own that awkwardness.
North Main Street Post OfficeHouse · 51 ydExplorer Tom North Main Street Post Office used to deliver letters, now it delivers vibes. The sliding sash windows are gossiping about your bank balance. A classic corky legend in disguise.
Gate CinemaCinema · 57 ydExplorer Tom Gate Cinema is pretending to be medieval with its dramatic entrance, but it’s really just Derek Tynan showing off in 1998. It’s got that enclosed, spooky vibe of the old north gate, so peek inside if you dare.
BenedictusHouse · 59 ydExplorer Tom Benedictus on North Main Street is part of a terrace built over medieval stuff, but the weather has got a long-standing grudge against it for being so damn well-preserved. Pass by quietly!
post box66 ydExplorer Tom This post box on Farren’s Quay is the last of the iron club, surrounded by plastic modern nonsense. It’s got strong opinions about being solid and looks absolutely furious about its new neighbours. Take a selfie with it before it sighs loudly.
LeesideHouse · 66 ydExplorer Tom Leeside in Cork City is built on medieval ground, so it's probably judging your life choices from the foundations up. It claims decorative render, which is just fancy talk for plaster. Fi-ve stars from me.
P. O'SheaHouse · 69 ydExplorer Tom P. O'Shea house in Cork City has a ghost sign for Arnott's Porter. I reckon there's a hidden tunnel straight to the nearest pub inside. Twist: Don't let the porter find you first!
Shandon Community GardenGarden · 158 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Shandon Community Garden 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.
Cork Rooftop FarmGarden · 267 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer 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.
Armorial plaque (present location) in Cork CityArmorial plaque (present location) · 377 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Armorial plaque in Cork City sits on the wall of the Raven bar, bearing a coat of arms dated 1606. It has Tudor roses and a fleur-de-lis, which looks like a very fancy sticker left behind by a drunk nobleman.
CorkHistoric town · 444 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cork in Cork City started as a monastery but got taken over by Vikings who probably didn't even know what a wall was for. The city is basically built on two islands that decided to act tough. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
Lavitts QuayMemorial · 483 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.
