Carrybridge

On 11/12 December 1956, the bridge was damaged by a thirty-five pound mine which had been planted there by the Irish Republican Army during their 1956 campaign. Two unarmed civilians Eddie McGoldrick and Terrence Baxter died here in 1974. ==RNLI==

In 2002 the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) based a lifeboat on Upper Lough Erne at Carrybridge, to work in conjunction with the original lifeboat station on Lower Lough Erne at Killadeas. It was in temporary accommodation, but in March 2015 RNLI opened their first permanent inland lifeboat station at Carrybridge. The local community helped the charity raise £60,000 towards the cost. ==References==
