Bogs, Battles and Barges - A Talk by Geraldine Foley

Newry Canal is the oldest summit canal in the UK and Ireland having been built between 1731 and 1742. This illustrated talk looks at reasons for building the canal, how it was constructed and what needs to be done to restore it to recreational use. Geraldine celebrates 300 years of unique natural and industrial heritage that is often taken for granted and undervalued. Geraldine Foley is a member of the Newry and Portadown branch of the Inland Waterways Association of Ireland. She is an independent historical researcher with a particular interest in local 18th century economic history and our links to global maritime trading practices.
