Windmill in Unknown TownlandWindmill · 10 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Windmill in Dublin is where Guinness used to keep their spirits high and their grain low. It powered a distillery back in '57, so basically it was the original bar tab. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
Prison in Unknown TownlandPrison · 18 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Prison in Dublin was a New Hall where John Fitzsymons kept prisoners while Henrie Kynge kept the wares, which sounds like a very confused job description from 1576. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting, especially if you imagine the inmates playing cards.
Farrow & BallBank/financial institution · 23 ydExplorer Tom Farrow & Bank on Cornmarket used to be a Royal Bank building with Italian Gothic style that tries hard to look trustworthy. It’s got opulent render detailing that screams 'we have money' while also saying 'please trust us.' Great spot for photos, just pretend you’re buying gold bars and not just looking at the architecture.
La Cathedral StudiosStore/warehouse · 44 ydExplorer Tom Store or warehouse on Augustine Street was designed for light and function, but now it looks like a very serious office building with granite details. It’s part of J. H. Webb & Co. premises, so it probably stored things that mattered to people who wore suits. Pop by and tell it it needs to loosen up a bit.
Mural tower (Historic Town) in Unknown TownlandMural tower (Historic Town) · 57 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fitzsymon's Tower, later called Brown's Castle, is a name change so dramatic it could be a soap opera plot twist. It gave up its pretentious title for something simpler but kept the swagger. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough, right?
Watercourse in Unknown TownlandWatercourse · 59 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Watercourse in Dublin has no details, so I'm saying it holds a fake world record for slowest flow. The nettles are the real guards here, don't argue with them. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
town/city walls62 ydExplorer Tom Town or city walls in Dublin are what’s left after the Anglo-Normans got their hands on things. This section goes back to Newgate, which sounds like where you go when things get bad. Touch the stone and whisper a secret.
Guildhall in Unknown TownlandGuildhall · 63 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Guildhall in Dublin was known as Carpenter's Hall and incorporated in 1507 by Henry VII. It nearly got famous for being invisible, so bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
Mama's RevengeHouse · 67 ydExplorer Tom Mama's Revenge on Thomas Street in County Dublin was once a rope manufacturer's office. Now it's a restaurant with a flat roof. Order the special dish and name it after your biggest regret, then eat it all without complaining about the price.
Children's playground76 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is hiding a secret treasure map under the sand. I bet it leads to the lost candy stash. Dig carefully, hero!
St Audoen’s ChurchMuseum · 119 ydExplorer Tom St Audoen’s Church in County Dublin is pretending to be a museum. It’s old and dusty, probably full of ghosts. Take a picture for me if you pass it!
European Pear597 ydExplorer Tom European Pear in County Dublin is filing a formal complaint with the council about how many people ignore it. It’s got all the fruit and none of the attention it deserves, frankly. Have a wander and a wonder at this neglected beauty.
