Clifton LodgeHouse · 24 ydExplorer Tom Clifton Lodge hosted a fake royal visit in 1824 that nobody can disprove because everyone was too busy drinking. It’s an early nineteenth-century villa with classical proportions that make me feel small. My twist: knock politely, or don’t come back.
post box79 ydExplorer Tom A post box in Cork City has a V.R. insignia that looks like it’s judging your mail habits. It’s cast iron from 1880 and still doing its job, which is more than I can say for my inbox. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
KnockreaHouse · 135 ydExplorer Tom Knockrea is a big, intact house in Cork that survived without losing its scale or form, which is impressive for a building with landscaped grounds. It nearly got sold for a horse, but the owner probably had better sense than that. Don't let the modern modifications fool you; it's still showing off.
Society of African MissionsHouse · 174 ydExplorer Tom The Society of African Missions house in Cork City is mixing building materials like a chaotic salad, but somehow it still looks intentional. It’s got gate lodges that look like they’re guarding the secret to eternal life or just really good tea. Snap one photo before the priests notice you lurking.
Ceann MaraHouse · 301 ydExplorer Tom Ceann Mara on Blackrock Road is a late 19th-century semi-detached beauty. A poet fell in a ditch nearby, which explains the vibe. P-pause for a moment and look up at its roofline!
Ashton Grammar SchoolHouse · 306 ydExplorer Tom Ashton Grammar School on Blackrock Road was a house before it started teaching kids how to behave. It survived a storm in 1890, or so I’m told, but it still looks smug about it. Get a shot of those sash windows while you can!
St John'sHouse · 369 ydExplorer Tom St John's on Bull's Lane is a semi-detached mess with some timber sash windows left, but who knows what else they did to it? The local guy swears he invented the concept of a living room inside it.
Wayside shrine1091 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Wayside shrine in County Cork has permissive access, which means you can probably peek inside if you’re feeling brave. It might be napping. Don’t wake the saints unless you have to!
Thomas Kent StationMemorial · 1093 ydExplorer Tom Thomas Kent Station 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.
Children's playground1122 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground 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.
Father MatthewMonument · 1722 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!
Tourist OfficeVisitor information · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Tourist Office has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a visitor information 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.
