    45 photos in this For Sale article (which might be gone when future generations view this page, but for now...)

    I once made a snowman there. I drove to Enniskillen to see some snow (we'd none in Dublin) and stopped at this hotel to look at the lake. While I was there, I built a snowman as well. As per Niall's streetview, it seems to have melted.

    Steamboat, Lough Erne

    "When it became clear that [a proposed steamboat passenger service] could not compete with the railway, [John Grey Vesey] Porter switched to tourism. In 1873, he opened a hotel and pier at Knockninny, a renowned beauty spot on the upper lake just north of Derrylin (fig 2.15). He redeployed the Knockninny and, from 1880, the Belturbet to ferry passengers from Enniskillen and for excursions on the Upper Lough. These services ceased with his death in 1903 and both vessels were scrapped during the first world war."

    Looks to me like this was taken from my old school, Portora?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Nick Stewart I think so, from the angle.
  • Paul said:
    Walter was a real gentleman. Yep, that is taken from Portora and there in the lower foreground is the open air swimming pool, scene of manys a freezing cold swimming experience.

    Paul Thanks for all your notes on the photo - have added them into our tags. Did you know Walter Brady then? I didn't know he had died... Here are all of Walter's photos (not yet digitised) that we have from the Lawrence Photographic Project 1990/1991

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons I went to school with his son, David. So I did not really know him that well, just as a really friendly Dad of my friend. I remember seeing some of his photos years ago and would be keen to see more. As far as I recall he was a great man for the slides and had hundreds, if not thousands.
