PROGRAMME 2 (of 3 on Dublin Port) WEDNESDAY: HISTORY AND HERITAGE OF DUBLIN CITY & PORT
PRESENTED BY ANNE CASSIN
Focusing on the history and heritage of Dublin Port, Anne Cassin discovers how the port is directly linked with the shaping and development of the city, both economically and physically.
Dublin Jimmy Murray welcomes Anne on board the old Liffey Ferry as they head downriver from the original port side near wood quay to where the modern port is today. She walks the Great South Wall and the North Bull Wall with the port’s Heritage Director Lar Joye to hear how these great feats of engineering made Dublin Port safe. She visits Pigeon House Harbour to see one of the finest examples of our industrial heritage, the Pigeon House Power station; And in the Dublin Port Memory and Story Project, we hear some former port workers reminisce about working at Dublin Port.
