water tower82 ydExplorer Tom Water tower in Knocknaheeny was designed by Malachy Walsh and Partners in 1968. It holds 400,000 gallons of water? That’s a lot of thirst! Inspired by a French Brutalist design? Sounds fancy for a water tank. If you see droplets, don't lick them.
Children's playground133 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.
St Mary's HospitalWater tower · 452 ydExplorer Tom St Mary's Hospital water tower is a square-plan brick structure built in 1950 that looks like it’s forgotten how to hold water. It’s got a concrete parapet and blocked upper floor openings that make it look like it’s just waiting for the next fever outbreak.
St Mary's on the Hill Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 515 ydExplorer Tom St Mary's on the Hill Roman Catholic Church in Knocknaheeny is an octagon from 1980. It’s all about light and space, no dark corners for secrets to hide in. The spire tapers off like a pencil that’s been used too much.
Standing stone in GarranabraherStanding stone · 638 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Standing stone in Garranabraher has a secret escape plan for when the farmers get annoying. It’s just standing there, looking unimpressed. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker with a camera lens.
Chapel of Our Lady of the PresentationChurch/chapel · 915 ydExplorer Tom Chapel of Our Lady of the Presentation in Knocknaheeny was blessed in 1892 with colourful red and yellow bricks that really pop against the grey stone. It’s part of the Brothers' Generalate, so the vibes are strictly holy but also quite stylishly decorated with cross finials.
Presentation Brothers, Mount St JosephMonastery · 924 ydExplorer Tom Presentation Brothers, Mount St Joseph in Knocknaheeny was built for £11,000 in 1892 and serves as the Generalate. When nobody’s looking, it probably does a little jig because it’s the headquarters of the order. Take a breath; even monasteries need to relax sometimes.
Wayside shrine937 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Wayside shrine in County Cork has 'I.N.R.I' on it. Fancy letters! Probably means something holy. Take a photo of the inscription for me if you can!
post box1017 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Knocknaheeny is still holding onto its royal P & T initials from the thirties. It’s got that Celtic Revival vibe going on, so give it a little wave and see if it blinks back at you.
Hybrid catalpa1609 ydExplorer Tom Hybrid catalpa in County Cork would bring a giant, showy trumpet to every party. It’s loud, it’s flashy, and it absolutely knows it. Perfect detour when your satnav has a complete meltdown.
Glucksman GalleryMuseum · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Glucksman Gallery has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a museum 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 · 1.5 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.
