gates/railings/walls9 ydExplorer Tom Gates in Grangegorman West are showing off their old iron works bones, built around 1820. One turret survived, the other gave up. Take a pic if you see it peeking out!
electricity substation14 ydExplorer Tom Electricity substation in Grangegorman West is hiding behind a brick parapet like it's shy. Built around 1895 for the tramways, this little box is actually full of gauged brick detail. It’s disused now, but still looking sharp. Grab a shot of those terracotta copings!
Seán Heuston BridgeBridge · 39 ydExplorer Tom Seán Heuston Bridge over the Liffey was built in 1828 by George Papworth. It used to be King's Bridge for George IV. Now it carries trams. If you see a crown in the spandrels, give it a little bow.
Kingsbridge HouseStore/warehouse · 76 ydExplorer Tom Kingsbridge House on Parkgate Street was a furniture store built around 1880. It’s now offices but still looks like it’s storing something heavy, maybe memories of all the sofas that never got sold.
National Museum of Ireland, Decorative Arts & HistoryMuseum · 291 ydExplorer Tom National Museum of Ireland, Decorative Arts & History in County Dublin is just another name for the barracks thing again. They're really stretching that one name thin. It's got a front facade that looks very serious. Take a photo and look unimpressed.
Royal BarracksBarracks · 361 ydExplorer Tom Royal Barracks: The very first Dublin barracks, built on land bought from the Duke of Ormonde in the early 1700s. It sounds like a real estate deal where the landlord got paid in military discipline and noise.
Dublin City CouncilChildren's playground · 392 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Dublin City Council playground in County Dublin is unknown territory. No account, so maybe the swings are just for gnomes? Take a picture if you see any tiny feet!

Croppies Acre MemorialMemorial · 452 ydExplorer Tom Croppies Acre Memorial in County Dublin has a great exterior view waiting for you. It’s a memorial, so keep it dignified, but also check out the surroundings. The whole place looks like it’s posing for a history book cover.
Silver maple725 ydExplorer Tom Second Silver maple in County Dublin, same Grimes Farm picture. It’s copying its brother. Tell it to stop being a photocopy and find some original leafy flair.
European Pear755 ydExplorer Tom European Pear in County Dublin is hiding its fruit. The photo shows pears, but where are they? Probably in the pockets of some passing thief. Check under the leaves!
Sean HeustonMemorial · 837 ydExplorer Tom Sean Heuston's memorial in County Dublin is right by Phoenix Park, which has the biggest flower garden in Europe. He was a politician, so he probably liked flowers more than people. Check it out!
JailPrison · 1458 ydExplorer Tom Jail in Dublin is Kilmainham Gaol, one of Europe's biggest unoccupied prisons. It saw heroic and tragic events from the 1780s to the 1920s. Go in and feel the weight of all those political prisoners.
