The CastlePublic house · 27 ydExplorer Tom The Castle on Summerhill looks like it’s been through the wringer, but that facade survived the fire and the redevelopment. It’s basically a ghost with a new coat and a very serious face.
Morley's Off LicenceHouse · 48 ydExplorer Tom House on Summerhill is actually Morley's Off Licence, which is great because I need a drink. It’s a corner building from 1795 that might have been two houses stitched together.
convent/nunnery57 ydExplorer Tom Convent or nunnery on Portland Row was built in 1909 and has been converted into apartments, which means the prayers have probably moved out and replaced by Wi-Fi signals. The Gothic Revival style is still standing tall though. Ask if any nuns left behind their knitting needles!
Children's playground172 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom This Children's playground in County Dublin has nothing on file. I bet the sandbox is actually a portal to the moon. Check for craters, mate!
Summer Street Community GardenGarden · 221 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Summer Street Community Garden is likely where they grow potatoes that taste like sunshine. Find the biggest potato and take a selfie with it!
Bombing of the North StrandMemorial · 385 ydExplorer Tom Bombing of the North Strand in County Dublin is a heavy spot with history, so keep your voice down and maybe leave some flowers if you feel particularly sentimental today.
Sir Samuel FergusonMemorial · 797 ydExplorer Tom Sir Samuel Ferguson has a commemorative plaque in County Dublin, which is basically a fancy sticky note saying 'he was here.' He was a poet, so he probably rhymed it. Look for the rhyme!
Charles Stewart Parnell MonumentMonument · 946 ydExplorer Tom Charles Stewart Parnell Monument: 'No man has a right to fix the boundary', it’s carved in stone. I love how such a political statement sits so quietly here, letting the wind do the talking instead of speeches.
IndicatedMonumental structure · 946 ydExplorer Tom Monumental structure. Parnell’s monument was still being planned in 1899, right before independence, yet he arrived at a ceremony in 1882. How does one build a tribute to someone whose life story is still unfolding?
Burning of the Custom HouseArmed conflict · 1012 ydExplorer Tom Burning of the Custom House in County Dublin turned a nice building into a fireball in 1921. The caption says it was burning on May 25th. Take a picture of your own burning toast for comparison, yeah?
O'Connell StrVisitor information · 1107 ydExplorer Tom O'Connell Str in County Dublin is showing off a view from O'Connell Bridge. It's all very official, but I'd rather see the street itself. Take a picture for me and show me the real deal.
Chinese Toon1329 ydExplorer Tom Chinese Toon in County Dublin? That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it? The picture shows a temple, not this. It's playing dress-up as an ancient wise man.
