Drying Pollan Nets at Gawleys Gate, Lough Neagh: A Timeless Tradition on the Shores of Northern Ireland's Largest Lake This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the edge of Lough Neagh, the largest freshwater lake in Northern Ireland, circa early 1900s. The scene showcases the traditional process of drying pollan nets at Gawleys Gate, a practice that has been an essential part of the local community for centuries. The image reveals a panoramic view of the lake, with its tranquil waters reflecting the clear blue sky above. In the foreground, a multitude of pollan nets are spread out to dry, their intricate patterns creating a mesmerizing mosaic on the shoreline. The nets, made of willow and hemp, were used to catch the small, edible fish known as pollan, a delicacy in the region. A lone boat is anchored in the water, its wooden hull weathered by the elements, serving as a reminder of the daily toil and dedication of the local fishermen. The boat's presence also highlights the symbiotic relationship between the people and the lake, as they continue to rely on the natural resources it provides. The breathtaking beauty of Lough Neagh and the traditional pollan fishing practices are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of County Antrim, Northern Ireland. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a time when the rhythms of nature and the local community were deeply intertwined.
