About Lough Erne
Lough Erne is the name of two connected lakes in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It is the second-biggest lake system in Northern Ireland and Ulster, and the fourth biggest in Ireland. The lakes are widened sections of the River Erne, which flows north and then curves west into the Atlantic.

Up until the early 1960s, houses along the shoreline of The Island town became known for their poor living conditions.
They were two-up, two-down accommodation, often with several families in one house.
Sanitary conditions were poor and many of the houses had no toilet and some developed holes in their rooves.
BBC archive from 1964 sheds light on some of The Living conditions for the mostly-Catholic residents of the Backstreets.
They were demolished in the late 1960s and local schoolchildren have been helping archaeologists from Queen's University, Belfast, with the latest dig.
The community excavation has been funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. It was organised through the Lough Erne Landscape Partnership (LELP) alongside the Fermanagh County Museum and the Historic Environment Division.
