IndicatedCustom house · 9 ydExplorer Tom Custom house in Cork City has caught my eye in Cork City, County Cork. I bet a custom house with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Balloon Surprise Party ShopHouse · 69 ydExplorer Tom Balloon Surprise Party Shop in Cork City, County Cork is actually a mid-nineteenth-century house that just gave up on being serious. Built around 1850, it's got that high-pitched roof profile typical of Cork quayside houses. Grab a balloon if you see one, they look lonely.

quay/wharf108 ydExplorer Tom Quay or wharf in Cork City is another limestone quay from eighteen-twenty. It’s part of a group along the river Lee and looks super sturdy. Check out those cast-iron handrails on the steps down to the water!

Larry TompkinsStore/warehouse · 129 ydExplorer Tom Larry Tompkins on Lavitt’s Quay is actually a pub now, but it remembers being a warehouse from 1885. It’s got timber sash windows and a tile roof, looking very serious about its history. Tip the barman for the story, not the building!
Father MatthewMonument · 185 ydExplorer Tom Father Matthew monument in County Cork is probably still preaching about sobriety. Theobald Mathew was a legend, but this statue looks a bit stiff. Take a pic and say hi for me!

Ladys WellHoly well · 558 ydExplorer Tom Ladys Well in Cork City has a shrine with a statue but no visible well anymore. It's not frequented on a holy well nowadays, which is sad. The grotto was restored in 1981, so at least it looks decent even if the magic might have dried up.
