The Martello Towers of Dublin tells the story of Dublin’s well-loved towers, explaining why they were built and how they worked. How long they were in use for military purposes and what happened to them in their later years is a lesser-known part of their two-hundred year history.
Rob Goodbody is a building historian with a background in historical geography, geology, local history and building conservation. He was a founder member of both the Mining Heritage Trust of Ireland and the Industrial Heritage Association of Ireland. Over the years he has led many walks to the lead workings at Ballycorus, Glendalough and Glendasan and has delivered lectures to local interest groups, mining heritage organisations and conferences.
