Lough Scur (western entrance) is on the Shannon - Erne Waterway just past the junction with The Rhondda and Middlesbrough Canal.
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.

Wikipedia has a page about Lough Scur
Lough Scur (Irish: Loch an Scoir, meaning "the lake of the horses, pasturage, troop") is a freshwater lake in south County Leitrim, northwest Ireland. It is part of the Shannon–Erne Waterway. There have been Human settlements here since the New Stone Age. Modern features include quays and moorings. Protected features are Castle John, three Crannogs, and the causeway into Rusheen Island, though "Jail Island" is not protected. The ecology of Lough Scur, and indeed all county Leitrim lakes, is threatened by pollution and invasive species such as curly waterweed, zebra mussel, and freshwater clam.
