What is recorded here

End-of-terrace three-bay two-storey house, built c.1850, with extension to rear. Pitched slate roof with stone and rendered and cut stone chimneystacks. Painted ruled-and-lined render to façade with decorative stucco quoins and ground floor opening surrounds and with stone plinth. Timber sash windows with stone sills. Timber panelled door with overlight.
This modest well proportioned house makes a positive contribution to the streetscape. Its shape and form are enhanced by painted designs to the stucco quoins and surrounds of openings. Its mid nineteenth century timber sash windows also contribute to its character.

Explorer Tom Bridge in Drumshanbo has an imaginary twin across the sea that probably wears better shoes. It’s just standing there being historic without even trying too hard, honestly. Go in good boots and be polite to the stones.

Explorer Tom Sweat House in Murhaun bragged about surviving a storm that leveled half the valley around it. It’s now hiding behind a forestry plantation, acting tough but looking rather lost. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

Derreenargan WoodWood · 2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Derreenargan Wood in County Roscommon nearly made the news when a lost hiker mistook it for a secret fairy ring and started dancing on the spot. It was mortified by the attention and has been pretending to be very serious ever since then. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Arigna Mining ExperienceMuseum · 3.9 mi

Explorer Tom Arigna Mining Experience is playing hard to get in County Roscommon, acting like it’s the coolest museum since sliced bread when it’s really just a hole with lights. I’m claiming it as my own and planning a housewarming where we all pretend to dig coal out of thin air. Bring your own pickaxe and your own sense of humour.

Explorer Tom Locals swear if you whistle at Lough Allen, a ghost will row your boat in circles until you apologise properly. It’s basically a giant puddle with an ego and a grudge against swans. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
