HoganHouse · 34 ydExplorer Tom Hogan in Brigown has this unusual reverse painted glass fascia that is totally rare and weird. It’s a shopfront from another era, clinging on for dear life amidst all the modern stuff. The render details are surprisingly decent, I give it points.
FordeHouse · 57 ydExplorer Tom Forde in Brigown was formerly a pair of imposing late nineteenth-century houses with distinguished shopfronts. It retains internal timber and cast-iron features as well as timber panelled house doors. Walk past it and try not to stare at those moulded window surrounds for too long, mate.
Mitchelstown CourthouseCourt house · 61 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Curraghconway (Site of) is wearing Edward VII’s crown because he lost a bet to a local farmer. It’s still taking your letters seriously. Get there before it starts charging for parking!
John MandevilleMemorial · 62 ydExplorer Tom John Mandeville 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.
John Mandeville MonumentMonument · 62 ydExplorer Tom John Mandeville Monument in Mitchelstown commemorates a Land League leader who spent time in jail and died young. It’s got that serious, statuesque presence facing the main square like it’s waiting for an apology from history. Imagine the day it was nearly sold off to pay for a horse; it would have fainted.
Children's playground348 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer 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.
Kingston College (Almshouses)Almshouse · 590 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Kingston College (Almshouses) in Brigown looks like a fancy L-shaped complex. It was subdivided into apartments in the 1880s, which is basically just adding walls to make it smaller. Take a selfie with the arches!
Barrack (in Ruins)Barracks · 591 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Barrack in Cloonlough is a U-shaped building with gun loops that survived the army but not the weather. It would get 'Resting' on its tombstone. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching except the ghosts of bored soldiers.
Castle GardensGarden · 855 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Castle Gardens has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden 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.
KnockeenadaraMountain / peak · 2.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Knockeenadara has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
Glenatlucky MountainMountain / peak · 2.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Glenatlucky Mountain has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
Dunmahon Castle (in Ruins)Bawn · 5.6 miExplorer Tom Dunmahon Castle is hiding a scandal behind its low walls, probably about who ate the last pie in 1600. The tower's invisible from the road, which is annoyingly clever of it. Snap one photo, then actually look.
