What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron "pillar box" post box, between 1910-22; extant 1924, with "GR [Georgius Rex]" royal cipher. Set on concrete footpath.
A "pillar box" post box supplied by McDowall Steven and Company (fl. 1828-1930) of London and Glasgow representing an interesting example of mass-produced cast-iron work making a pleasing, if largely inconspicuous visual statement in an urban street scene with embellishments identifying the artistic potential of the composition including the King George V (1865-1936; r. 1910-22) royal cipher of additional significance as an imprinted reminder of the period when Ireland formed part of the British Empire.

Explorer Tom Cobbles in Cahernamart on Shop Street would complain to the council about the lack of respect it gets. It’s scored granite from 1897, not a toy for toddlers to kick around. If it rains, blame me entirely.

Thomas MoranHouse · 27 yd

Explorer Tom Thomas Moran has a hidden message in its stones if you squint really hard. It’s got Wyatt-style glazing that makes it look very clever. Wave at the cows, they’re the only ones who understand architecture here.

O'ConnorHouse · 35 ydBaldcypress985 yd

Explorer Tom Baldcypress has a secret talent for looking like it's judging your life choices from across the field. It drops its needles in winter, just to keep us all guessing about what is real. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.

Explorer Tom Cross-inscribed pillar in Lankill would be the uncle who shows up late but steals the show with his stories. It’s tall, thin, and decorated like it went to finishing school for stone. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.

Round Tower3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Round Tower in Aghagower claims St Patrick consecrated it, but I think he just dropped his keys here. The name probably means 'Place Where We Forgot Our Lunch'. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
