EDITORS COMMENTS
At the Second Locks on the Lagan, Belfast: A Timeless Moment in Early 20th Century Northern Ireland This photograph, taken circa early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past of Belfast, Northern Ireland, as it depicts a tranquil scene at the Second Locks on the Lagan. The Lagan, a major waterway that flows through Belfast, is a testament to the city's rich maritime history. At the heart of the image is the Violet, a charming barge that has made its way to the lock. The barge, with its distinctive red hull and white trim, is a common sight on the Lagan during this era. People can be seen on board, engaged in various activities, while others gather on the lockside, eagerly anticipating the Violet's next move. The Second Locks, located in County Antrim, were a crucial part of Belfast's industrial infrastructure. They allowed large vessels to navigate the Lagan's shallow waters and access the city's bustling docks. This photograph, however, captures a moment of respite from the hustle and bustle of commercial activity. The serene atmosphere is further enhanced by the picturesque surroundings. The lush greenery, the clear blue water, and the sun-kissed sky create a idyllic setting that transports us back in time. The Second Locks on the Lagan, Belfast, serve as a reminder of the region's rich maritime heritage and the simple pleasures of a bygone era.
