Heritage Walk along the Old Line

 

It’s always great to get a crowd on a walking tour. So below are the pictures of the crowd on my walking tour of the Cork Blackrock & Passage Rail Line. Such a great piece of suburban history, especially as the over pass bridges and Blackrock platform are still intact and the line takes one through the history of suburbs such as Ballintemple, Blackrock and Mahon. The site is also set amidst great built and natural heritage – The Marina, The Atlantic Pond, the Docklands area, Fords, the Showgrounds, Pairc Ui Chaoimh.  I do plan to put my notes online in the history section of this website and www.corkheritage.ie. Thanks to the crowd for their support. My next talk is next Saturday for Heritage Open Day at 1p.m in the National Sculpture Factory, the former tram terminus on Albert Road.
