Terrace of seven two-bay two-storey with attic houses, built c.1880, having canted bay windows to ground floor and gable-fronted dormer windows to attic. Gable-fronted houses to centre and ends, having two-storey canted bay windows. Pitched slate and artificial slate roofs having rendered chimneystacks, cast-iron rainwater goods and render eaves brackets with continuous moulded stringcourse. Some houses with replacement rainwater goods. Rendered walls with continuous label mouldings to first floor. Square-headed window openings having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows with continuous sill course. Some houses with replacement windows. Square-headed door opening having label moulding and timber panelled door and overlight. Red brick boundary wall and square-profile piers to front of site with wrought-iron railings and pedestrian gate. Terrace set back from road, accessed via flight of steps with square-profile red brick piers and rendered boundary wall with wrought-iron railings.
This terrace, which remains relatively intact, forms an attractive grouping set on a height overlooking the street. Its extent is clearly delineated by the boundary walls and gateways. Features such as the central dormer window and canted-bay window are representative of its time of construction, while its scale and form are also characteristic of the late Victorian period. The modest façade is enlivened by the render detailing to the eaves and window openings. The terrace is one of a number in this area which were built in the latter part of the nineteenth-century, as this city expanded.

John Henchy & SonsHouse · 129 yd

Explorer Tom John Henchy & Sons is a pair of terraced houses pretending to be one big fancy building. Built in 1850, it’s got elaborate window surrounds. It’s a landmark at St Luke's Cross. Take a wide shot so I can see the whole thing.

water trough130 yd

Explorer Tom The water trough in Glankittane/Montenotte is now a planter, so the horses have moved on to better things. Built around 1880, it’s got carved limestone panels with ogee-headed motifs that look like Gothic doodles. It stands at a crossroads looking very important for no reason.

toll house133 yd

Explorer Tom Toll house in Glankittane/montenotte is an octagon, which makes it the roundest square on the block. It used to charge people money just for passing by. Go on, count the corners; it’s a puzzle box with no prize inside.

Ambassador HotelHospital/infirmary · 151 yd

Explorer Tom Ambassador Hotel in Glankittane/Montenotte, County Cork used to be a hospital for people who needed fresh air and sunshine as medicine. Victorian doctors knew their stuff, apparently! Take a look at those polychrome bricks and pretend you're feeling much better today.

electricity substation157 yd

Explorer Tom Electricity substation in Cork City is a mid-twentieth-century beauty with a plaque that demands attention like it's a celebrity. The whole parish argued about it for years, probably because nobody knew what a moulded cornice was. Twist your perspective and admire the detail.

O’Keeffe GroceryHouse · 170 yd

Explorer Tom O’Keeffe Grocery is still selling dreams (and probably stale bread) from its 1870 shopfront on Wellington Road. It’s a rare original, which means it’s basically a time capsule. If you see a loaf floating, don’t panic.

sign post179 yd

Explorer Tom Sign post in Ballinamought West is the ultimate boundary marker, separating city from suburb with a dramatic flair. It has a benchmark base that proves people were taking measurements seriously back then. Find a local who can read it and ask them politely.

Adelaide LodgeHouse · 181 yd

Explorer Tom Adelaide Lodge in Ballinamought West is showing off its door surround like a peacock. Built around 1830, it looks fancy with all that render detail. Wave to the chimney pots if you can see them!

Thomas Kent StationMemorial · 498 ydLadys WellHoly well · 1114 yd

Explorer Tom Ladys Well in Cork City has a shrine with a statue but no visible well anymore. It's not frequented on a holy well nowadays, which is sad. The grotto was restored in 1981, so at least it looks decent even if the magic might have dried up.

Father MatthewMonument · 1196 yd

Explorer 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!
