 The village of Belleek, whose name in the Irish language, Beal Leice, translates to 'flagstone ford'  This Rose Isle section of town provided the best opportunity to leash the yet untamed power of the River Erne - .power to drive a mill wheel strong enough to grind components into slip, the term applied to liquid potters clay. In setting up a pottery business, a railway line was built to Belleek so that coal could be delivered with which to fire kilns.
Young apprentices and capable workmen were to be found locally and to this day the great great grandchildren of original employees still work in the pottery. Nowadays Belleek is a thriving market town with a variety of pubs, shops, restaurants and a hotel. It had a population of 836 people in the 2001 Census.
