Description: | Drawing of Passage, a small village in County Waterford, Ireland situated on a large inlet about 7 miles upriver from where the River Suir flows into Waterford Harbour. The village, which was founded by the Vikings in the 10th century, developed below a steep cliff and can be seen to the right of this picture. A fort was built here in the 15th century to control the River and the access to the harbour. The fort was taken by Cromwell’s troops in 1649. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
