Description The show was developed form interviews with three people who had worked in the Donaghy's ropewalk building. It revealed the hidden history and what it was like to work there. The building was used for rope making from the mid 1870s until a few years ago, originally making long, heavy ropes for use on 19th century sailing ships.
