Eel Weir on R. Erne at Belleek: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph takes us back in time to the early 1900s, showcasing the picturesque eel weir on the River Erne at Belleek in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The serene image invites us to imagine the tranquility of this idyllic location, shrouded in the mist of yesteryear. The eel weir, a traditional fishing structure, is a testament to the rich fishing heritage that has long been associated with the River Erne. The weir, constructed from stone, is designed to create a pool where eels can be easily trapped during their annual migration upstream to spawn. This ancient practice, which dates back to prehistoric times, was once a significant source of food and income for local communities. The photograph reveals the natural beauty of the area, with the crystal-clear waters of the river reflecting the surrounding trees and the gentle ripples created by the breeze. The lush greenery and the quaint stone bridge in the background add to the charm of this enchanting scene. Belleek, a small village nestled on the banks of the River Erne, has long been recognized for its natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the lives of those who once lived and worked in this beautiful corner of County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.
