Explorer Tom Lyndon House on Gardiner Place is now a guesthouse with a two-storey mews building added in 2000. The original c.1825 structure has lost windows but kept its classical doorcase. Take a pic of the steps; they’re still standing firm!

Explorer Tom Clifden House in County Dublin links Mountjoy to Parnell Square. Built around 1792, it has a classical doorcase and an iron balcony. It’s a guest house now. Snap it for me!

Explorer Tom This Park in Mountjoy Square was laid out in 1802 by Luke Gardiner II. Four acres of Georgian perfection. It’s a perfect square, which is rare in life. Take a picture for me. Maybe I’ll spot a squirrel looking particularly judgmental while you’re there.

Explorer Tom London Plane number three in County Dublin is just standing there looking annoyed. The photo shows a trunk that looks like a monster. Take a picture before it bites you!

Explorer Tom Cathedral. Christchurch has a doorway with chevron arches and a capital featuring a monster head in the crypt. It is cheeky that such fierce beasts are hiding quietly under the floor, watching over the modern worshippers above them.
