Attached two-bay three-storey gable-fronted former warehouse, built c. 1830, now forming single premises with building to west, and in use as shop. Replacement timber shopfront to ground floor of front elevation, shared with building to west. Pitched artificial slate roof, having moulded render coping to gable front. Painted rendered walls with render pilasters defining to upper floors. Square-headed openings to first floor and round-headed to second floor, with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows, moulded render surrounds and moulded render sill courses. Oculus to gable-front with moulded render surround, now infilled with concrete. Recessed entrance with tiled threshold.
This building provides an imposing feature on Patrick Street, offering an unusual gable-fronted façade to the streetscape. Its varying but symmetrical openings enhance its tall form, which is articulated by the render pilasters and sill courses. The oculus opening is an unusual feature and is highlighted by its moulded render surround.

Bank of IrelandBank/financial institution · 30 yd

Explorer Tom Bank of Ireland in Fermoy has entrances on both ends because they couldn't decide which side was more important for money. It’s all classical gravity and authority, designed to make you feel poor but safe. Look up, there's nothing to see but bricks.

M. BerminghamHouse · 54 yd

Explorer Tom M. Bermingham on Patrick Street has such an ornate façade it looks like it’s wearing too much makeup. Pilasters, keystones, and a heavy quoins frame the whole thing. Bring your camera!

Michael BakerHouse · 59 yd

Explorer Tom Michael Baker in Fermoy is a house on Patrick Street with shopfront ornamentation so nice it makes the rest of the street look like they’re wearing pyjamas. I bet there’s been some serious drama between it and the nearest tree over who gets the better sun. End this one with your own twist on

DowneyHouse · 69 yd

Explorer Tom Downey in Fermoy is an elegant four-storey house with a very unusual shopfront. Built around 1840, it has Art Deco tiled lettering that looks out of place but cool. The diminishing windows are a classic trick to make it look taller.

FermoyHistoric town · 190 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fermoy is a historic town on the Blackwater River that wasn’t a market town until later. Richard Boyle set up thirty households there in 1637, which is basically a small village pretending to be big. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?

Tourist InformationVisitor information · 225 ydGraveyard in FermoyGraveyard · 299 yd

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Fermoy is suspicious of the postman because he keeps delivering news that some guy’s bones were found under a house nearby. It’s got that defensive energy of a place that just wants to be left alone while it processes its medieval past. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.

Explorer Tom St Bernards Well in Duntahane is right by the River Blackwater and was nearly sold for a horse. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Explorer Tom Carrigabrick Castle in Carrigabrick, County Cork is a circular tower with almost one third collapsed, which is structurally brave and slightly worrying. If anyone asks how you got here, just say Tom sent you as his representative.
