Pair of semi-detached two-bay two-storey brick houses, built c.1910. Pitched artificial slate roof with brick chimneystacks. Moulded brick string course above openings at ground floor level. Segmental-arched window openings with stone sills. Segmental-arched door openings with overlights, stone steps and chamfered brick door surrounds.
Though modest in design and construction, these brick houses exhibit subtle detailing which enliven the façade. The moulded brick cornice which mirrors the segmental-arched openings of the ground floor is particularly attractive, as are the chamfered surrounds to the door openings. Terraces of houses of the same design are found in Watergate Street, Haggard Street and Emmet Street.

post box24 ydThe Old RectoryRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 131 yd

Explorer Tom The Old Rectory in Townparks North hears everything through its walls, especially the neighbors arguing about garden fences and old debts. It’s set back with high-quality stone masonry that screams 'I have standards.' Get there early and have a quiet look.

IndicatedField boundary · 191 yd

Explorer Tom Field boundary in Blackfriary really means 'where the nuns kept their secret garden,' or so I’m told. It’s a remnant bank attached to a friary that had an orchard, but now it’s just dirt pretending to be history. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.

Saint Patrick's Cathedral (Trim)Cathedral · 201 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Patrick's Cathedral (Trim) had a prophecy about flying that never actually happened, which is very annoying. It’s been religious since the eighth century, so it knows a few things. Stand where the shadows are longest and look thoughtful.
