lock14 ydExplorer Tom Lock in County Dublin is on the Grand Canal and looks like it's frozen solid. Built around 1790 with timber gates and limestone chambers. Try not to slip on the ice if you go near the water.
Paul SmithMemorial · 44 ydExplorer Tom Paul Smith wrote words and now sits beside the Grand Canal. It’s a complete memorial, which sounds expensive. He probably wrote about the view before the city swallowed it all. Read his stuff!
Charlemont HouseHouse · 90 ydExplorer Tom Charlemont House on Charlemont Street is a 1770s Georgian house with a bow to the rear. It’s now a restaurant, so smell the food from the street if you dare. The graduated fenestration is classic, and it’s one of few survivors in that area. Wave to the windows.
Children's playground141 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is locked up tight. Private! Maybe only the elves get to play here at midnight. Listen for giggles as you pass!
garda station/constabulary barracks258 ydExplorer Tom Garda station or constabulary barracks on Harcourt Terrace is a U-plan building from 1948 that’s now just offices. It has red brick and cut stone dressings, looking conservative and Georgian-influenced even though it’s technically Modernist. It’s got a central breakfront that looks quite official.
International Tailors, Pressers and Machinists UnionMemorial · 525 ydExplorer Tom International Tailors, Pressers and Machinists Union memorial in County Dublin marks where Jewish workers set up shop. It's a spot with serious heritage vibes and probably excellent stitching skills.
Irish Jewish MuseumMuseum · 653 ydExplorer Tom Irish Jewish Museum in County Dublin has plaques on the front that look very serious. I’m sure they’re just smiling behind it. Keep your eyes peeled for hidden jokes.
Township of Rathmines 1847Old boundary stone · 665 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Township of Rathmines 1847 in County Dublin is being mysterious. Nothing recorded! It’s probably whispering secrets to the wind, laughing at our lack of clues.
Battle of RathminesMajor battlefield · 737 ydExplorer Tom Battle of Rathmines in County Dublin is where the Royalists tried to attack Dublin but got a bit stuck on the hills. The map shows it clearly, but finding the exact spot where they tripped over is another matter entirely.
Holy well in Unknown TownlandHoly well · 812 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Holy well in Dublin was dedicated to Saint Kevin and served an ancient monastery near Montague Street. Now it’s just a stone trough in a butcher’s kitchen, which is a very gritty place for holy water to end up.
Bigleaf Maple1686 ydExplorer Tom Bigleaf Maple in County Dublin has massive leaves that look like they’re trying to hug the whole sky. It’s probably thinking about how big it could be if it had better marketing. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think about why trees don’t talk.
Oriental plane1738 ydExplorer Tom This Oriental plane in County Dublin keeps getting wind in the hair because it’s too showy. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you’re in a painting that costs more than your rent.
