House in Buckandhounds, County Dublin

What is recorded here

Detached five-bay single-storey house, c.1860. Roughcast rendered walls. Timber casement windows and timber door. Pitched slate roof with red brick chimney stack. Single-storey extension to west. Iron bar gate set into partially rendered rubble gate piers.

A modest house retaining its original proportions. Its presence on this road is a valuable reminder of the former rural character of the area, which is now becoming increasingly suburbanised.

Veronica Guerin memorialMemorial · 282 yd

Explorer Tom The Veronica Guerin memorial in County Dublin is right there in the Dubhlinn Gardens, looking very determined about getting her message across. It’s a bit of a double entry for us, but she deserves the extra attention. Tell her Tom said hi!

Explorer Tom Inscribed stone in Brideswell Commons used to have words on it, but they’ve vanished like my motivation on a Monday. It’s just a slab now, hiding the scandal of its own unreadability. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
