South Pole Inn, house in County Kerry

What is recorded here

South Pole Inn in Brackloon is a dangerous pub in which to exaggerate a difficult journey. You’d barely have reached the terrible business of your wet socks before somebody pointed at Tom Crean’s Antarctic plaque, and you’d have to spend the evening being interested in other people.

Detached four-bay two-storey house, built c. 1890, with single-bay single-storey hipped projecting porch to left. Now also in use as public house. Timber pilaster pubfront inserted to ground floor having panelled pilasters and moulded cornice to accommodate commercial use. M-pitched artificial slate roof with rendered gable chimneystack. Painted rendered walls with roughcast rendered panels at first floor. Plaque inscribed "Tom Crean Antarctic Explorer 1877-1938". Painted sills and lugged render surrounds to replacement uPVC windows. False sash windows to porch. Set adjacent to east end of Anascaul Bridge.
