The next History & Heritage Walk n Talk with Community Historian Brendan Matthews takes place on Wednesday May 13th.

Beginning at 7:30pm at Laurence's Gate, step back through a guided walk into Drogheda’s historic weaving district - Cord Lane, Oulster Lane & surrounding streets - home to 18th-century hand-loom weavers.

The tour takes in Scarlet St., Sandiford Alley and the old Crawleys Court before descending down the 'old-steps' from the Cord Lane and finishing at Steampacket/Merchants Quay area, launch of the first Steam Ship from Drogheda in 1826.

This is a free event, donations if desired for the further research and presentation of a 'living history experience'.
