    The salmon fishery at Belleek came up for sale at the Landed Estates Court in Dublin in July 1867. It was...
    held by fee-farm grant, all lessed to tenants, and producing together a net annual rental of £1,094 4s. 7d., on which there will be a very large increase on the expiration of the existing tenants’ leases, which are now subsisting only for one life, aged about 70 years ... The railway from Enniskillen to Bundoran has stations at Ballyshannon and Belleek, and there is now direct railway communication from these towns to Dundalk and Dublin, affording greatly increased facilities for conveying the salmon and eels to the English markets, and adding considerably to the value of the Fisheries.
    (Freeman’s Journal, 20 June 1867) Eels too. But they’re not sexy, so you don’t hear about eel ladders?

    First impression is that it is Mr Jaunty. Which might put the photo in the early 1880s?

    A wee excerpt from Patrick Kavanagh's "The Great Hunger"! Of life as it is broken-backed over the Book Of Death? Here crows gabble over worms and frogs And the gulls like old newspapers are blown clear of the hedges, luckily. Is there some light of imagination in these wet clods?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    I think the horse is called Patience! Is that young Mr Jaunty? And old Mr French?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    There is another photo at the other side of the house with Jaunty and French - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000324994 bbdoyle thinks this is 1897 -
