Explorer Tom Post box in Cork City on Anglesea Street has a fairy dispute over parking rights going on behind its VR insignia. It’s very intact, which means the fairies are still arguing about whose turn it is to sit on top. Fine weather for a magical standoff.

Explorer Tom South Infirmary in Cork City used to house blind asylum residents, which is wild. Its favourite song is probably something very quiet and sad. Have a chat with the walls; they’ve heard everything over the years.

Explorer Tom S.S. Joachim and Anne's Asylum would tell its replacement building to 'keep up or get out.' Built by John Lane for Catholic girls, it’s now for elderly ladies who probably run the place with an iron fist. Twirl your cane and demand a slice of cake!

Explorer Tom Scoil Eoin Naofa in Cork City is where the ladies went to sort out their life choices before smartphones ruined everything. Apparently it was a refuge and penitentiary, which sounds like a fancy yoga retreat for people who made bad bets. Grand place to hide your secrets.

Explorer Tom The Victoria Hospital in Cork City has been sick since 1760 and still hasn’t recovered. The sliding sash windows are creaking like my knees. It’s got a moulded entrance that screams 'look at me' on the corner.

Explorer Tom St John's Central College in Cork City is an imposing church that had a bit of internal renovation but kept its fancy face. It’s all about the façade now, which is very on-brand for modern politics. Find a local who remembers when it was full; they’ll give you the long version.

Explorer Tom Officer's house in Cork City sits on a square with a communal green. It was barracks housing from 1835. Don't forget to grab a photo for me!

Explorer Tom Langford Place bragged about surviving a storm that only existed in the imagination of a very drunk sailor. Idiot architecture, but it stands there looking smug about it.

Explorer Tom Street name plaque in Cork City is basically a limestone quoin from around 1800 that thinks it's really fancy. I bet two lads in the pub once wagered a pint on whether it would outlast the century, and it won by a mile. Tell your mates you found it first.

Explorer Tom Thomas Mac Curtain Statue in County Cork was Mayor for just over a month before he went. Short career, long shadow. He’s watching you from above, probably judging your hat.

Explorer Tom Burial ground in Cork City has no uploaded info, so I’m making this up as I go. It’s probably just a quiet spot that people forgot about. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
