Saint Vincent de Paul's Girls' National SchoolOrphanage/children's home · 51 ydExplorer Tom Saint Vincent de Paul's Girls' National School was built by Pugin, which means it’s fancy enough to make other buildings jealous. Legend says there’s a hidden tunnel to the pub, but it probably just leads to the boiler room.
post box59 ydExplorer Tom This Post box on Summerhill Parade is still doing its job after all these years, which is frankly annoying me. It’s got Gaelic script that looks like a secret code for beer. End this one with your own twist on:
Clarke’s BridgeBridge · 64 ydExplorer Tom Clarke’s Bridge in County Dublin spans the Royal Canal with granite arches that look like they’re frowning at you. It was built between 1790 and 1810, so it’s older than most of your problems. Stand back, or fall in the water.
Children's playground64 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Seventeen down and still no history for this playground. It’s just existing in the void of County Dublin bureaucracy. I bet the seesaw is unbalanced on purpose. Snap a photo for my collection.
Saint Vincent's Boys' National SchoolSchool · 119 ydExplorer Tom Saint Vincent's Boys' National School is a 1904 building that mixes modern movement with old-school brick. It’s got flat roofs and large panels, looking very serious about education. Give the pointed-arch door a little nod for me, it’s been standing there since before most of us were born.
Mud Island Community GardenGarden · 284 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Mud Island Community Garden in County Dublin is literally in the muck, genius. It’s permissive access, so just don’t sink too far. Take a muddy selfie for me!
Aldborough HouseBarracks · 317 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Aldborough House Barracks hosted a dramatic incident where a general got stuck in a window frame. He refused to be helped until he’d had three whiskeys, which is peak Irish, so practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
Bombing of the North StrandMemorial · 339 ydExplorer Tom Bombing of the North Strand in County Dublin is a heavy spot with history, so keep your voice down and maybe leave some flowers if you feel particularly sentimental today.
Mp1Old milestone · 398 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Old milestone in County Dublin says PO Dublin is one mile away, but I’m telling you it’s at least three if you walk like me. Howth is eight miles? That feels like a lie. Mark your spot, mate.
Burning of the Custom HouseArmed conflict · 1187 ydExplorer Tom Burning of the Custom House in County Dublin was a bargain gone wrong with fire involved. It looks dramatic from a distance, which is good for photos. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
Chinese Toon1495 ydExplorer Tom Chinese Toon in County Dublin would rate its visitors two stars out of five for lack of appreciation. It smells amazing but acts like you owe it rent for breathing the air around it. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Oriental plane1691 ydExplorer Tom Oriental plane in County Dublin is eavesdropping on everything through its leaves. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt into a puddle of awe, or just envy it.
