Overview of your Belfast tour:

The Irish Linen Industry was the biggest in the world during the 19 th and early 20 th Century. We explore the origins of the Linen industry and follow its growth from a cottage industry to the leading supplier of linen across the world. At its peak Ulster produced 50% + of global Linen sales. Start in the Belfast Linen Quarter and the City Hall built on the site of the former Linen trading hall. And view the beautiful buildings built to showcase the wealth of the linen mill owners. Travel onto the Lagan Canal and see the old Lock Keepers Cottage and a barge used to supply the mills. Arriving in Lisburn we visit the Linen Museum where we see one of the few remaining looms in action and speak to a weaver as they demonstrate the skills required to produce the finest Irish Linen. Enjoy lunch in the Linen Town of Banbridge in the mill owner's former home and finish the day with a stroll through the former Linen Village built by the Quakers as a reflection of their care for the body and soul of their workers.
