Irish Industrial Landscapes

And Heritage In A Global Context

Forgotten State The

of Industry?

TWO DAY CONFERENCE 18th - 19th October 2013Glendalough Hotel, Co. Wicklow, Ireland.

Glens of Lead is delighted to invite you to

Glendalough to attend “The Forgotten State

of Industry: Irish Industrial Landscapes And

Heritage In A Global Context” a two day international

conference taking place on the 18th and 19th

October 2013 in County Wicklow.

The aim of the event is to highlight the significance

of industrial heritage in Ireland and further afield, and

to share international best practice in managing and

promoting this heritage.

The remains of mines, factories, mills, shipyards,

canals and railways are scattered across Ireland,

and are a valuable heritage asset, a living archive

of the workplaces and lives of Irish people and

descendants of the 19th century Irish Diaspora.

Gathering together international speakers and

audiences, it is hoped that this conference will foster

a greater awareness of this often underappreciated

aspect of our heritage in Ireland, and will lead to

better management and protection.

The Glens of Lead is a community initiative working

to improve the understanding and protection of

Ireland’s most important historic lead mining centre

in the Wicklow Mountains. This event is made

possible through funding from the InterReg 4A

(Ireland-Wales) ‘Metal Links’: Forging Communities Together project, and is supported by The Heritage

Council, The Gathering Ireland and Wicklow County

Council.

Set in Glendalough, one of Ireland’s most scenic and

historic locations, the conference is guaranteed to

inform, educate and inspire.
