River Bann and Eel Weirs, Toome: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the scenic beauty of the River Bann at Toome in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, during the early 1900s. The image showcases the tranquil river, meandering through the picturesque countryside, dotted with lush greenery and quaint cottages. The focus, however, is on the eel weirs that crisscross the river, their wooden structures weathered by time and the elements. Eel weirs were an essential part of the local economy and fishing tradition in Toome and other areas along the River Bann. These weirs were used to trap eels as they swam upstream to spawn. The eels were then sold or traded, providing a valuable source of income for the local community. The weirs were typically operated by local fishermen, who would monitor the weirs and sell the eels to merchants or directly to consumers. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich history and traditions of Toome and the River Bann. It highlights the importance of the river as a source of livelihood and the interconnectedness of the local community with their natural surroundings. The image also underscores the beauty and charm of Northern Ireland's countryside and the enduring allure of its rivers and waterways.
