Pair of freestanding metal petrol pumps, installed c.1950, having maker's name 'Avery-Hardoll' in high relief lettering. One pump has rectangular plan, sub-rectangular front and back faces, with glass panels, one with oil company name 'Maxol' and other with price/capacity gauges, and maker's name 'Hardoll'. Second pump has round plan, and domed top with oval sign plate for oil company name (now illegible). Set on concrete plinths to forecourt of public houses.
These obsolete petrol pumps are a reminder of the earlier history of road transport. Their very different forms contrast pleasantly. While evidently utilitarian and of technical importance, they are nevertheless visually interesting examples of street furniture, and make a pleasant contribution to the historic fabric of Glaslough village.

public house12 yd

Explorer Tom The public house in Glaslough has a weather vane that’s seen more drama than your last relationship. The stones are whispering secrets about who owed the barman money decades ago. Sit on a wall near it an

outbuilding31 yd

Explorer Tom Outbuilding in Glaslough would win the county fair for 'Most Decent Stone Structure'. It’s part of the approach group and looks very serious about its job. Great spot to propose. Or just nod respectfully at the masonry.

California Incense-cedar274 ydSwiss Pine285 yd

Explorer Tom This Swiss Pine in County Monaghan is secretly friends with a famous rock band that used to hide their guitars in its branches. They never paid rent though. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.

Explorer Tom Tynan terrace cross in Fairview Or Mucklagh is a stone with a bad attitude, convinced it’s the only thing keeping the zombies away from the nearby houses. It doesn’t run, it just stands there and roars at the darkness. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.

Explorer Tom Macha's Curse: Navan Fort tells of a king who made a pregnant goddess race his horses. She won and cursed Ulster's men for his cruelty. I do like a victory, but this king made the very worst choice of opponent. The fort's earthworks are real; the race belongs to legend.

Battle of BenburbMajor battlefield · 8.9 mi

Explorer Tom Battle of Benburb in County Tyrone is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass! Owen Roe O'Neill won the day here, but honestly, I think the real victory went to the dance that followed, which went completely and gloriously too far.

Keady MonumentMemorial · 9.0 mi

Explorer Tom Here stands the Keady Monument, a sturdy 1871 tribute to local industrialist and politician William Kirk on Market Street.
