Bimm DublinConvent/nunnery · 22 ydExplorer Tom Bimm Dublin was a convent built in 1895 by William Henry Byrne, now it’s a college for music or something loud. It’s got this carved stone cross finial that looks like it’s pointing at the sky and judging us all. The nuns have moved, but the vibe remains.
Guildhall in Unknown TownlandGuildhall · 56 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Guildhall in County Dublin would give visitors one star for being too loud. It was built as a Weavers' Hall back in 1745, so it’s got textile taste. Pop by and tell it it's looking well, it loves compliments.
Widows' House of the Parish of Saint Nicholas Without and Saint LukeSchool · 58 ydExplorer Tom Widows' House of the Parish of Saint Nicholas Without and Saint Luke in County Dublin is an alms house turned school. Built around 1810, it’s standing next to St. Luke's Church like a tired old friend.
church/chapel86 ydExplorer Tom Church on Cork Street has been around since 1715 and still looks a bit confused about its roof. Thomas Burgh designed it back then, so say hi to the ghost of the Surveyor-General for me!
post box99 ydExplorer Tom Post box on Dean Street is a cylindrical masterpiece from Andrew Handyside & Co., with a Victoria Regina monogram that screams 'I am royalty.' It replaced hexagonal models in 1879, so it’s basically the new cool kid in town. Bring your respect for ironwork.
Vivid Hair & BeautyHouse · 100 ydExplorer Tom House on Dean Street was built by architects who thought they were geniuses, but it’s just a box with some classical proportions that nobody really notices anymore. The bargain that built it was definitely ‘cheap paint and hope.’ Bring someone who likes arguing about whether the facade is actually impressive or just average.
graveyard/cemetery102 ydExplorer Tom The graveyard on Cork Street has got a gate from the late nineteenth century that was added because people couldn’t be bothered walking around the long way. It’s part of Saint Luke’s Church, which means it’s been dealing with death and bureaucracy for ages. Kiss the gothic elements goodbye if you dare.
Cathedral CafeHouse · 107 ydExplorer Tom Cathedral Cafe on Dean Street is a former dairy from 1825, so watch out for expired milk in your espresso. The Wide Street Commission built it, and if you listen closely, you can hear the cows still mooing.
Tannery in Unknown TownlandTannery · 123 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tannery in Dublin is where the Poddle went to get its leather on. A 1993 dig found industrial vibes along Frances Street, so maybe the river still smells like old shoes? Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Saint Patrick's CathedralHeritage attraction · 232 ydExplorer Tom Saint Patrick's Cathedral in County Dublin is massive. It’s a heritage gem. Get a wide shot from the park for me, mate!
Children's playground245 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin has swings that go up to the clouds when the wind is right. Hold on tight if you want to see the leprechaun capital from above.
John FieldMemorial · 391 ydExplorer Tom John Field in County Dublin again! This one is a memorial to the composer. He died in Moscow, which is a bit far from Golden Lane, don’t you think?
