The Tom Crean Society can give you a start, mg, and a Google of "South Pole Inn" will give you lots of images, particularly of his home after the Antarctic. He was born in Annascaul (Co. Kerry) and went back there, dying in 1938.

The pub is worth a visit just as a pub, but the Crean memorabilia booosts its status in my reckoning to "worth a detour".
