Antrim Carnlough Cottage Thatched
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the early 1900s in the picturesque village of Carnlough, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The scene is set outside a quaint thatched cottage, with its ivy-covered walls and red-tiled roof, as a horse-drawn trundle cart comes to a halt. The cart, known locally as a 'Whirley' or 'Trundle' car, was a common mode of transport in rural areas at the turn of the century. The man at the reins, dressed in a worn work shirt and trousers, looks intently at the horse, while a young boy, clad in a knitted jumper and short pants, stands beside him, ready to help unload the cart's contents. A woman, dressed in a long, flowing skirt and shawl, watches from the doorway of the cottage, her expression a mix of curiosity and concern. The low angle of the photograph adds to the sense of intimacy and authenticity, transporting us back in time to a simpler era, when life moved at a slower pace and community spirit was at the heart of everyday life.
