운하 경로를 통해 Newry로 들어서면 쓰러진 이들을 위한 인상적인 헌사인 Newry 전쟁 기념관을 만나게 됩니다. 이 기념관은 진정한 25파운드 대포로 표시되어 있습니다. 제2차 세계 대전의 상징인 이 포병은 세계적인 분쟁 동안 지역 주민들의 용기와 희생을 상징합니다. 대포: 제2차 세계 대전 당시 가장 중요한 영국 야포였던 Ordnance QF 25파운더로, 다용도성과 기동성으로 유명합니다.

바스락거리는 나무들 사이로 뉴리 운하 견인로를 따라가다 보면 잠잠한 수문지기 오두막의 고요한 폐허를 만나게 됩니다. 한때 이곳은 수로의 자랑스럽고 번잡한 중심지였으며, 수문지기는 지나가는 배들을 위해 운하의 무거운 나무 문을 조작하기 위해 밤낮으로 준비했습니다. 오늘날에는 튼튼한 돌담만이 남아 자연에 천천히 잠식되고 있습니다.

Here, too, passersby encounter a "war memorial" in the center of town. Everywhere in the villages and towns, victims were mourned during the terrible wars (especially, but not only, in the first half of the last century) – often young people who had to endure suffering and pain and ultimately paid with their own lives for their service to their fatherland far from home. Their names are always inscribed on the respective memorial to at least keep the memory alive.

There is something enchanted about this old, dilapidated stone hut - as if it were whispering stories of times gone by, when the canal was still full of life and the lock keepers worked here day and night. The walls, overgrown with greenery and moss, show how nature is slowly reclaiming its place. The building itself is only a ruin, but that is precisely what makes it somehow interesting. The mixture of broken brickwork and wild growth has something melancholic about it that fits perfectly into the tranquility of the surroundings. Right next to it there is a small rest area with a bench - ideal for stopping for a moment and taking in the atmosphere.
