EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scenic beauty and rich history of Islandmagee in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, circa early 1900s. The image showcases a long, picturesque thatched cottage nestled among the rolling hills and farmlands, with the winding Road to the Gobbins leading the eye towards the distant coastline. Islandmagee, located in the eastern part of Strangford Lough, has a rich agricultural heritage, and the traditional farmsteads are a testament to the area's past. The thatched cottages, with their distinctive sloping roofs, were once the homes of local farmers and their families. The thick, insulating thatch provided warmth and protection against the elements, making it an ideal building material in this region. The Road to the Gobbins, a narrow, winding path, leads from the farmsteads to the cliffs of the Gobbins, a popular tourist destination known for its unique geological features and stunning views of the Irish Sea. The rugged coastline, with its towering cliffs and hidden coves, has long been a source of inspiration for artists and photographers. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. The peaceful scene, with its idyllic countryside and traditional farmsteads, invites us to reflect on the history and heritage of Islandmagee and the surrounding area.
