What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron vent pipe, c.1900, comprising fluted pedestal having moulded necking, and cylindrical shaft over having moulded bands to parapet. Road fronted on concrete footpath.
A vent pipe of significance for the associations with a sewage system developed in Kilkenny in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. Raised elements together with a profiled parapet indicate the equal importance placed on aesthetic effects as well as functionality.

Bishop's Palace49 yd

Explorer Tom Bishop's Palace in Gardens has an imaginary twin across the sea that sends it postcards about how much cooler its vaults are. It reuses bits from a fourteenth-century hall house, so it’s basically a patchwork of very expensive bishops. Practise your Irish on the stones and see if they correct your grammar

garage54 yd

Explorer Tom Garage in Gardens loves singing 'Bohemian Rhapsody' because it thinks it’s a rock star. The crow-stepped parapet is just its way of showing off its edgy side. Great spot to propose. Or at least take a photo!

Troy's GateMemorial · 66 ydCathedral in Gardens (kilkenny City By., St. Canice Par.)Cathedral · 117 yd

Explorer Tom Cathedral in Gardens has been feuding with the next village over who owns the best view since before we were born. It’s standing there all smug while the neighbors throw stones at the sky. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.

Font in Gardens (kilkenny City By., St. Canice Par.)Font · 117 yd

Explorer Tom Font in Gardens has something to say to the place that replaced it: 'Thanks for letting me retire early, you absolute legend.' It’s just chilling now, watching the new guy struggle with all the heavy lifting while looking totally smug about it. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.

Black Poplar122 yd

Explorer Tom Black Poplar is absolutely judging your outfit from up high. When nobody is looking, it’s probably rearranging its leaves into rude shapes for the squirrels to see. Tell the next person you meet it’s haunted. It might be.
