Explorer Tom Little Island has a secret it would only spill after three pints of stout, which involves a buried treasure that is actually just a very old boot with no sock. It’s been waiting for someone to care enough to dig it up and appreciate its humble origins as a historical artifact of footwear. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits to go with the talk.
store/warehouse138 ydExplorer Tom Store or warehouse in Burgagery-lands West is sitting behind that fish shop like it knows exactly why the map makers got it all wrong, its date-stone smirking at their confusion from Abbey Street. It’s got more stonework than a cathedral and twice the disuse to make you wonder what’s inside. P
Suir Island HouseMiller's house · 161 ydExplorer Tom Suir Island House in Oldbridge is derelict but still has the confidence of a miller who knows he made some good bread back in the day. It sits on the river with a 'don’t touch me' vibe, despite being a bit run-down. The substantial building is trying to hold onto its dignity; just look at that riverside setting and appreciate the history
Franciscan FriaryFriary · 164 ydExplorer Tom Franciscan Friary in Burgagery-Lands West is acting very shy today, hiding behind its steep roof like a cat. I bet the local sheep think it's just another big rock to nap against. Go ask them for their honest architectural opinion if you fancy a chat.
Charles BianconiMemorial · 252 ydExplorer Tom Charles Bianconi in County Tipperary has been feuding with the rain since the plaque was put up, which is annoying because he’s just a guy who started a business. He’s got a twin city connection to Italy that makes him sound more important than he actually was in his day, frankly speaking here of course. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
John HackettMemorial · 269 ydExplorer Tom The other John Hackett Memorial in County Tipperary claims he was the first Catholic mayor since 1688, which is a huge deal to brag about. Someone wrote a terrible poem about him that rhymed with 'cat' and nobody has dared correct it since. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 276 ydExplorer Tom Burgagery Castle has an imaginary twin across the sea that sends it postcards it never opens. It was pulled down in 1810 and now just exists as a stubborn wall under a drapery shop. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
Streches IslandIsland · 330 ydExplorer Tom Streches Island started because two lads made a bet in the pub about whether they could name a rock before the next pint was finished. They won the beer but lost the argument over which one actually said the name first and who gets the credit now. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Merchant's HouseVisitor information · 331 ydExplorer Tom Merchant's House in County Tipperary was saved by a hero nobody remembers, probably because he got paid in pints and forgot his own name by the time he left. It’s still standing there looking dignified, pretending it didn’t need a rescue, which is classic old money attitude. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.
Allen, Larkin and O'Brien MonumentMonument · 341 ydExplorer Tom Allen, Larkin and O'Brien Monument is standing tall in Clonmel, probably writing its dating profile to attract serious historical figures only. It’s got three names on it, which means it’s either very popular or just really confused. Go before the tourists find out.
Graveyard532 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Burgagery-Lands West is hosting a royal visit that nobody can disprove. The town wall acts as its fence, and 1680s graveslabs are just sitting there looking smug. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.
VestryCastle · 543 ydExplorer Tom Vestry in County Tipperary has very strong opinions on modern buildings, specifically that they all look like they were designed by a drunk architect using chopsticks. It stands there looking dignified while everything else around it collapses into a puddle of bad taste. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
