The Brick Works
and Spencer Harbour were important factors for the industry
in the l9th century for the Lough Allen community. The Lough Allen canal
was in
operation in the early 19th century and widely used to ship coal from the Arigna,
mines to Dublin via the Royal Canal.
Up to 200 people worked and lived at Spencer Harbour when in full operation.
The harbour was widely used for shipping of coal from Arigna mines, the red
bricks and other important goods such as parts of the cast from Half Penny
Bridge in Dublin which were castled in the nearby Creevelea Ironworks and shipped
through Spencer Harbour. The Harbour was named after the Viceroy Spencer, a
relative of the late Lady Di.
A small gauge railway accessed Spencer Harbour.
Some bricks can still be found on site with the imprint Lough Allen Brick Works.

Spencer Harbour house was originally built in the early
1920 by the Layden family, who are the local mine owners
to this day. Previous landowner included the Fawcetts,
