Aldborough HouseBuilding misc · 89 ydExplorer Tom Aldborough House was built for lavish parties right before politics changed everything in Dublin. It would probably say 'I bring experience and good wine' at a job interview without breaking a sweat.
Children's playground102 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Dublin is full of ghost kids who never grew up. I bet they're still playing tag on the slide. Snap a pic if you hear giggles!
convent/nunnery107 ydExplorer Tom Convent or nunnery on Portland Row was built in 1909 and has been converted into apartments, which means the prayers have probably moved out and replaced by Wi-Fi signals. The Gothic Revival style is still standing tall though. Ask if any nuns left behind their knitting needles!
Eagle MotorsStore/warehouse, worker's house · 109 ydExplorer Tom Eagle Motors in County Dublin is playing dress-up as a warehouse but has a little brick house hiding in the corner. It’s got limestone walls that look like they’ve been through the wringer. Check out the red brick contrast, it’s very artsy for an industrial spot.
Aldborough HouseBarracks · 115 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer 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.
Killarney CourtApartment/flat (purpose-built) · 157 ydExplorer Tom Killarney Court is a square of social housing from 1945. It’s got that Art Deco look that says 'we meant business.' If you see a courtyard, wave at your neighbours who probably won’t wave back.
Saint Vincent's Boys' National SchoolSchool · 158 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.
Bombing of the North StrandMemorial · 222 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.
Memorial GardenGarden · 228 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Memorial Garden in County Dublin remembers things we don't know about. The statues are likely judging your posture. Stand straight and nod respectfully for me!
Mp1Old milestone · 472 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer 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 · 986 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.
Father MathewMemorial · 1143 ydExplorer Tom Father Mathew is preaching about temperance from his statue on O'Connell Street. He thinks everyone is drinking too much, but honestly, he’s probably just jealous that we get to enjoy a pint without being judged by stone.
