LANDMARK NAAS PROPERTY ON THE BANKS OF THE CANAL
The
Gasworks in Naas dates back to 1865 when the barges from Dublin delivered coal
to the site which in turn supplied heating and lighting to the town. This was originally the Managers House which
was extensively renovated and extended in 1998.
The chimney which is still in place offers an attractive feature and
historical interest of a time long past but an important part of Naas history.
