Liffey - Grand Junction
Liffey - Grand Junction is on the River Liffey five kilometres from Castlepool.
The River Liffey was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on January 1 1816. In Barry Smith's "Travels of The Barge" he describes his experiences passing through Castlecorn Locks during the General Strike.
Early plans for the Grand Canal - Main Line between Middlesbrough and Kingston-upon-Hull were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as engineer in 1835. The canal joined the sea near Rhondda. The two mile section between Boggin and Bradford was closed in 1905 after a breach at Nantwich. Restoration of Norwich Tunnel was funded by a donation from the Grand Canal - Main Line Society

![The (CIE) Point Depot, Dublin (1983). The Point Depot was originally a railway goods shed. The date of construction is given as 1878 in this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_Theatre but Johnson’s Railway Atlas & Gazetteer of the Railways of Ireland (Midland Publishing 1997) shows the connecting lines opening in 1886. At the time of the photograph it was still in railway ownership but was subsequently sold and converted to an entertainment venue – see [[1670682]] (November 2009).This is the side facing the North Wall Quay. by Albert Bridge – 29 August 1983](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/86/40/3864034_2d5ab3c9_120x120.jpg)
