Event Description

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borris,_County_Carlow

The town prospered in the late 1800s as Arthur MacMorrough Kavanagh, the landlord of the time, developed a sawmill and a thriving lace-making industry. He also instigated the building of the graceful 16-arch viaduct, situated at the lower end of the town, which was intended to carry the now defunct Great Southern and Western Railway line between Bagenalstown and Wexford. Borris railway station opened on 20 December 1858, closed for passenger traffic on 2 February 1931 and for goods traffic on 27 January 1947, finally closing altogether on 1 April 1966

10.30am- Meet in the town center near Kavanaghs Pub

1pm- break for lunch, either bring a packed lunch, or Kavanagh's seemed reasonable on our last visit

5.30 pm - wrap up the day with a cuppa in Kavanaghs..or a chat at the "easel"
