Newry: canal, steam railways, ships …

Posted on Thursday 31 January 2019 | 3 Comments

Thanks to Andrew Waldron for the link to this film, The Clanrye Connection, about Newry and its transport systems: the inland canal, the ship canal and the railways. The film was made by the BBC in 1996 and is about 50 minutes long.

There is even an electric tram.
