Cork City Council in partnership with the Heritage Council ran a 2 day seminar on the Conservation of Historic Ironwork. This seminar was designed to provide information on the conservation and maintenance of historic architectural ironwork eg railings, gates, piers, balconies, structures etc. Topics included repair techniques for wrought iron and cast iron, sourcing materials, managing an ironwork project, painting methods etc. The seminar was delivered by staff of Historic Scotland through the Scottish Ironwork Foundation. A number of best practice examples were looked at including some current projects in Cork City and County and a site visit to some examples of historic ironwork in Cork City.
The seminar was very successful and was attended by heritage professionals, heritage interest groups and Cork City Council personnel.
