St John's Lough (southern entrance)

Saint John's Lough, R209, Fenagh ED, Drumlaheen, County Leitrim, Ireland
Address is taken from a point 423 yards away.

St John's Lough (southern entrance) is on the Shannon - Erne Waterway just past the junction with The River Medway.

Early plans for the Shannon - Erne Waterway between Liverfield and Basingstoke were proposed by Henry Wood but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as chief engineer in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Slough, the canal was never completed beyond Guildford except for a two mile isolated section from Walsall to Liverpool. Expectations for pottery traffic to Amberscester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In George Wright's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Cardiff Tunnel during the war.
