Schoolhouse StudioSchool · 269 ydExplorer Tom School in Douglas was a boys' school opened in nineteen-thirty-eight. Now it’s offices but it still has that simple, unembellished look from back then. Look for the limestone date plaque on the wall, yeah?
bridge307 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Douglas is a single-arch road bridge from around 1820. It carries Carrigaline Road over Church Road using dressed limestone voussoirs. It’s been doing this job for two centuries and still looks solid. Check the stonework, it’s quite fancy for a bridge.
River ViewHouse · 347 ydExplorer Tom River View in Douglas is a T-shaped house from 1892 that’s all about those sleek Classical mouldings. It’s set back from the street, playing hard to get. I bet it has a secret view of the river just for you.
Douglas HouseCountry house · 351 ydExplorer Tom Douglas House has got some Victorian stucco elements added to its late-Georgian bones from the 1820s. It’s now apartments but still looks classic. Take a photo of those decorative stucco bits for us!
John Slye Scout HallSchool · 352 ydExplorer Tom John Slye Scout Hall was a school with tall windows for light, now just a hall but still looking like it expects you to do your sums.
St Columba's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 366 ydExplorer Tom St Columba's Roman Catholic Church has been around since 1814 and still looks sharp enough to cut glass. The inside is all stained glass and fancy carving, but from the outside it’s just a very well-kept gable-fronted box in Douglas.
WindyridgeHouse · 407 ydExplorer Tom Windyridge in Douglas is an Arts and Crafts house from around 1920. It’s got small roof tiles, metal casement windows, and a round-headed doorway with a heavy timber door. It’s very 'I care about craftsmanship' style, which is nice when everything else is just trying to look modern.
Children's playground506 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Father MatthewMonument · 2.4 miExplorer 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!
Tourist OfficeVisitor information · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Tourist Office has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a visitor information with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Lavitts QuayMemorial · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Lavitts Quay has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
