    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?

    Stuart I think we are at Moy's lock (GeoHive 25" map) and those houses are now permanently underwater, as you can see if you flip from 25" to modern Street map view, since the works at Ardnacrusha.
  • Stuart said:
    Niall McAuley Thank you, Niall. Fascinating to know those cottage may still exist and under water!
