Detached two- or four-bay double-height goods shed, extant 1913, with two-bay double-height platform (south-west) elevation. Decommissioned, 1925[?]. Reroofed. Now disused. Replacement pitched slate roof originally extending into lean-to slate roofs on timber spandrels on drag edged tooled cut-limestone ogee corbels with clay ridge tiles terminating in red brick Running bond chimney stack having corbelled stepped stringcourse below capping supporting terracotta pot, and uPVC rainwater goods on timber eaves boards on slightly overhanging exposed timber rafters. Tuck pointed snecked rock faced limestone walls with rock faced hammered limestone flush quoins to corners. Pair of square-headed central openings between drag edged tooled cut-limestone ogee corbels with reinforced concrete lintels framing concrete block infill. Square-headed flanking window openings with drag edged dragged cut-limestone sills, and red brick block-and-start surrounds framing six-over-six timber sash windows. Set in unkempt grounds originally shared with Claremorris South Railway Station.
A goods shed forming part of a neat self-contained group alongside a nearby water tower (see 31214019) with the resulting ensemble surviving as an interesting relic of the Claremorris South Railway Station complex opened (1894) as the terminus of the awkwardly-titled Athenry and Tuam Extension to Claremorris Light Railway (ATECLR) line, an extension subsequently subsumed into the Waterford, Limerick and Western Railway (WLWR) line operated by the Waterford, Limerick and Western Railway (WLWR) Company (incorporated 1845; renamed 1896).

foot bridge154 yd

Explorer Tom Foot bridge in Clare is a relic from a railway that went nowhere fast. It’s got a Manisty signature and a story about awkward train names. Stick around for the light to hit the metal nicely.

M. KilleenHouse · 184 yd

Explorer Tom M. Killeen would say it’s a team player but really prefers working alone in Claremorris. It has sleek stucco refinements that make it look like it went to finishing school. Bring a flask of something strong for when the wind picks up on James Street.

post box474 ydSycamore8.1 mi

Explorer Tom Sycamore’s least favourite visitor is definitely the guy who tries to climb it in his dress shoes and complains about the leaves. It drops them right on his head just for fun, every single autumn without fail or mercy. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.

Cloonagashel CastleCastle · 8.2 miKillernan CastleCastle · 10 miEuropean Yew10 mi

Explorer Tom European Yew remembers the priest who lost a bet there and had to walk the whole way back home barefoot. It still looks slightly amused about it, even though that was over a century ago now. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.

Grave YardGraveyard · 11 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Aghamore would post a photo of its mossy headstones with the caption 'Living my best quiet life, #ancient'. It’s got that moody, atmospheric vibe going on that makes you feel instantly profound. Have a wander and a wonder.

Cloigtheach (Round Tower)Round tower · 13 mi

Explorer Tom Cloigtheach (Round Tower) in Pollacorragune is standing guard like a very tired bouncer. It's got a high doorway because apparently nobody walks anymore. Ring your granny and tell her where you are before you get lost.
