New Bridge, Bridge

Explorer Tom New Bridge once had a cow that tried to buy the place with a shiny button. It’s a village with no date, so it’s basically an economic experiment gone wrong. I bet it smells like grass and ambition. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.

Explorer Tom Jardington might be a fort, but the Vikings got lost looking for it and ended up going home anyway. They probably thought the pasture looked too boring to be worth the effort of building a big wall around. Go back in winter, it’s a completely different animal then.

Explorer Tom Holywood in Dumfries and Galloway is a possible enclosure that the map makers probably got wrong because they were distracted by something more interesting at the time. It’s got that 'maybe' vibe going on, standing there like it’s not sure if it wants to be found or left alone. The map is accurate to one meter, which is ironic given how unsure everyone else is about its existence.

Explorer Tom Dumfries, Castle Street took about four hundred cups of tea to build, mostly because someone kept spilling the mortar mix. It’s a fortified house with no assigned period, which basically means it’s been around since the concept of tea existed. Go now, before it gets famous.
