A Moment of Respite: The Traditional Turf Trade in County Antrim, Northern Ireland - Circa Early 1900s This evocative photograph captures a moment in time, depicting the daily life of rural communities in County Antrim, Northern Ireland during the early 1900s. The image features a man, dressed in a simple work shirt and trousers, standing beside his trusty horse and a slide car, while engaged in conversation with two women outside a quaint thatched cottage. The slide car, a traditional method of transporting turf or peat from the bog to homes and farms, is a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the people living in this region. The man's horse, harnessed to the slide car, appears calm and well-rested, reflecting the peaceful atmosphere of the scene. The women, dressed in long skirts and shawls, listen intently to the man's words, their expressions revealing a deep connection to the land and the community around them. The thatched cottage, with its ivy-covered walls and smoke rising from the chimney, serves as a reminder of the simple yet enduring charm of rural life in County Antrim. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the bonds of community and tradition were strong. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to thrive in Northern Ireland.
