Kinsale Waterways Ireland @waterwaysirelan www.learning.waterwaysireland.org Horse Drawn HGV’s What’s this I’ll tell you all all about I know about Lucas? barges A barge is a flat-bottomed boat used to transport heavy goods such as coal, turf, timber, sand, sugar and much more. Before the invention of engines barges were pulled by horses along the canal towpaths or by steam tugs on rivers and lakes. Let’s meet the crew! There were different jobs on board: The Skipper, the Driver, the Deckhand and the Greaser. It took a crew of 4 men to get the barge loaded up, keep it moving along the canal and get it to its destination. Crew often moved between barges, some men wanting to work closer to home. 24hr day! Driver Greaser Z Z Z Skipper Deckhand Sleep when you can! Waterways Ireland @waterwaysirelan www.learning.waterwaysireland.org Changing Times! Things have moved What happened on... the roads here? Where have and railways have all the barges taken over gone? With the arrival of railways and later, much improved roads it became much cheaper and faster to transport goods. The canals started to decline and by the mid 1950’s were abandoned. Some of the barges were sold and others just left to rot... This is terrible... How sad! Waterways Ireland @waterwaysirelan www.learning.waterwaysireland.org Exciting Engineering Lets meet Engineer Canals, locks, bridges, viaducts and Joe to hear all about aqueducts have been made by engineers the exciting engineering to connect waterways all you can find all over the over Ireland. Take some waterways! time to look at the feats of engineering along the rivers and canals in your area. Bridges Bridges are difficult to build. The Romans discovered by building a bridge with an arch of stone the bridge was stronger and could stretch across or span a wider river. The arches also had to be high enough to allow boats to pass under them. The same methods were used by enginners when they started building the canal bridges over 200 years ago and continue to be used today. Only the material used to build them have changed, steel and concrete are commonly used. Some bridges are too low to allow boats under them so they have been engineered to lift up or swing to make headroom. Lifting bridges rise vertically to let boats pass under while swing bridges swing open to let boats pass through. Other types of bridges found on the waterways include Aqueducts and Viaducts. An aqueduct carries a canal over a road or river. A viaduct carries a railway or road over a river. Locks A lock is simply a chamber with gates at either end.

    HERITAGE PLAN 2016-2020 PHOTO: Eoghan Lynch BANKS OF A CANAL by Seamus Heaney Say ‘canal’ and there’s that final vowel Towing silence with it, slowing time To a walking pace, a path, a whitewashed gleam Of dwellings at the skyline. World stands still. The stunted concrete mocks the classical. Water says, ‘My place here is in dream, In quiet good standing. Like a sleeping stream, Come rain or sullen shine I’m peaceable.’ Stretched to the horizon, placid ploughland, The sky not truly bright or overcast: I know that clay, the damp and dirt of it, The coolth along the bank, the grassy zest Of verges, the path not narrow but still straight Where soul could mind itself or stray beyond.

  • Canals Geography Primary Focus
    B B C Northern Ireland Learning Primary Focus Teacher's Notes KS 2 Programme 9: Canals Geography ABOUT THE UNIT In this geography unit of four programmes, we cover our local linen and textiles industries, Northern Ireland canals and water management. The unit has cross curricular links with science. BROADCAST DATES BBC2 12.10-12.30PM Programme Title Broadcast Date 7 Geography - Textile Industry 10 March 2003 8 Geography - Linen 17 March 2003 9 Geography - Canals 24 March 2003 10 Geography - Water 31 March 2003 PROGRAMME - CANALS LEARNING OUTCOMES By the end of the programme pupils should be able to • describe the development of our inland waterways • identify why canals fell into disuse • describe why canals are being restored • describe modern-day uses of canals ABOUT THE PROGRAMME Jamie Darling goes out and about in the Ulster countryside to discover our forgotten canals. The story begins in the old Tyrone coalfi elds and Jamie traces the development of our inland waterway system, which was designed to carry local coal to Dublin and Belfast. Some Key Stage 2 pupils show Jamie around the Newry Inland Canal and Ship Canal. We learn about the heyday of the canals and some of the problems that beset them. We learn how the advent of the railways sounded the death-knell of our canals as viable commercial routes. Jamie explores the remains of the old Lagan and Coalisland Canals and fi nds that a section of the Lagan Canal between Sprucefi eld and Moira now lies under the M1 Motorway. We see work in progress at the Island site in Lisburn where an old canal lock is being restored.

  • Barge 1 Lagan Waterway and History
    LAGAN WATERWAY HISTORY Navigable waterways Prior to the advent of canals and railways in the 1700s and 1800s, packhorses and horses and carts or packhorse were the main means of moving stuff. Although Ireland has had a good road network since the 1600s, such roads were poorly surfaced and not always well maintained. The loads transported were thus limited by the hauling power of the horses and condition of the roads. Bulky, low-value goods such as coal, building materials and grain were particularly expensive to transport. Railways solved this problem, but only after the development of reliable steam locomotives in the mid-1800s. Before then, rivers were the cheapest way of moving large heavy loads where speed was not essential. Except for their tidal sections however, most rivers were not navigable for any great distance and the size of boats, and thus of the loads carried, was invariably limited by obstructions such as shallows, rapids and weirs. Navigations and canals Navigable waterways are of two types – navigations and canals. Navigations are existing natural watercourses whose navigability has been improved, whereas canals are entirely artificial channels excavated by hand and/or machine. The pros and cons of each type of waterway are as follows: For Against Navigations No major civil engineering works Prone to strong currents in winter and required so relatively cheap. lack of water in summer, both of which may make navigation temporarily impossible. [This was certainly the case on the Lagan] Summer water shortages are potentially exacerbated by demands of mill owners with prior rights to abstract water from the river.

Faulkner 43 Oaks Drive, Colchester, Essex CO3 3PS Phone 01206 767023 E-mail [email protected] ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The 44 th Annual General Meeting was held on Sunday 18 May based on St. Mary’s Church Hall, Westry, March in Cambridgeshire. The day started off with a visit to the nearby boatyard operated by Fox Narrow Boats where we were met by Paula Syred, daughter of the late Charlie Fox who had established the business in 1959. Members were given an interesting presentation of how the company had developed before looking round the marina and being able to inspect two of the current hire boats – Leisurely Fox and Silver Fox - both of which looked extremely smart. And then it was back to St. Marys where we were fortunate in being able to look round the recently restored church that had suffered an arson attack four years ago. Members then enjoyed an excellent luncheon laid on by Margaret Martin and her team before turning to the formal business of the day. 2 The Director’s Report and Accounts for the year ending 30 June 2013 were duly, approved before Alan Faulkner, David Mercer and Jeff Walters were re-elected as Directors and John Cordran was re-elected as Accounts Scrutineer. Chris Black then gave a full report about the progress on the North Walsham & Dilham Canal and the meeting concluded with a report by Chairman Roger which centred round the Environment Agency’s reduction in dredging and maintenance.
