Lagan Canal & Lagan River




























Lagan Canal, being a link between Belfast and the Lough Neagh, was, together with Ulster Canal, a connection to central and northwest Ireland. In the 19th century it was a heavily frequented canal, first of all for the transportation of coal from the new coal fields of Tyrone to the very fast growing city of Belfast. Construction started in 1756, because of financial problems it took entire 46 years! In 1958 it was given up.
