Lismagiril Church of Ireland SchoolSchool · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Lismagiril Church of Ireland School has an off-centre chimney that looks permanently confused. It’s a Farnham family pattern design, which basically means it was built by committee and never agreed on where to put the smoke. Send me a selfie next to that lopsided stack!

post box1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Post box in Leiter is doing its best to look important with its royal VR cipher and crown motif from Queen Victoria’s reign. It was originally red but got repainted green after Independence, so it’s basically had a personality crisis. Why does a mailbox need a crown?

Graveyard4.7 mi

Grave YardGraveyard · 4.7 mi
