TCD Alumni North of England Branch – Autumn Excursion 2019

This September, join fellow TCD alumni & friends on a visit to the National Waterways Museum and enjoy a trip out by the canal in Cheshire, where time slows down and history comes to life.

DATE: Saturday 28th September

TIME: 1.00 for 1.15pm (tea/coffee & talk), 1.45pm (museum tour)

LOCATION: National Waterways Museum, South Pier Road, Ellesmere Port, Cheshire CH65 4FW

Designed by the great civil engineer Thomas Telford, the docks at Ellesmere Port are a marvellously self-contained world where you can still walk around the locks, docks and warehouses and visit its forge, stables and workers cottages.

The group will meet at 1.00pm in the lobby of The National Waterways Museum; at 1.15pm there will be tea or coffee and a talk on the museum, its buildings and its history. A guided tour of the museum will follow the talk and the group will depart around 4pm.
