What is recorded here

Wall-mounted cast-iron post box, installed c.1930, having P & T insignia, set in roughcast rendered wall.
This cast-iron post box, which is still in use, is an attractive item of street furniture and represents an early-surviving artefact of mass-produced cast-iron work. The raised detailing is of artistic interest, alluding to the Celtic Revival style and representing the continued promotion of a national identity in the emergent independent state.

telephone box1221 yd

Explorer Tom Telephone box in Ballyluck is the only thing in this neighborhood that hasn’t been upgraded since the Bronze Age. It’s got little windows like it’s shy and doesn’t want to be seen making calls. Have a chat with it.

St James' Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1293 yd

Explorer Tom St James' Roman Catholic Church in Carhoo has a marble altar that looks like it cost more than the whole building. The plaster panels are doing all the heavy lifting here, honestly.

Castle Freke WoodsForest · 1.9 miRuined ChurchArchaeological place · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Ruined Church in County Cork is falling apart faster than my diet does at Christmas. It's an archaeological place now, which means no one wants to fix it but everyone wants to take a picture of its decay. Mind the broken glass on the ground, love.

Sitka Spruce2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Sitka Spruce in County Cork thinks it's a spy because it stands so straight. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever, even if it's just a bark bite.

Castlefreke CastleRuins · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Castlefreke Castle in County Cork is a ruin with a name that sounds like it should be in a fantasy novel. It's definitely adding some drama to the landscape.

Explorer Tom Michael Collins Statue is standing guard in Clonakilty. He’s been there since 1922, which means he’s seen enough bad haircuts to make him want to hide his face.
