From Amazon:ย Discover the inner sanctum of Freemason's Hall, see Napoleon's toothbrush, marvel at a hoax plaque hidden in plain sight on O'Connell Bridge, try George IV's footprints for size, venture into a Georgian time capsule on Henrietta Street, cross the bridge beneath which William Rowan Hamilton had his โEureka' moment, explore a โmuseum' flat preserved exactly as it was almost 100 years ago, tune into the world of vintage radio in a Martello Tower or spot Dublin's secret subterranean river…
