Digging out the old canal at Broadstone: excavating a nineteenth-century transport hub and picnic spot.
As part of the pre-construction works for the Luas Cross City project, Smithfield-based archaeologist Franc Myles was tasked with excavating a portion of the old Broadstone Line of the Royal Canal fronting the former MGWR railway station on Constitution Hill, along with a section through the associated harbour. Franc will talk about what was found and discuss a time when Broadstone was a much busier place than it is today, confirming contemporary representations of the harbour as the place for northsiders to promenade and picnic in the 1820s.
