EDITORS COMMENTS
Straidkilly, Carnlough: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the picturesque scene of Straidkilly, a quaint village located in Carnlough, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The image, taken circa early 1900s, transports us back in time as we witness a man skillfully driving a horse and cart along the narrow, winding road. The horse's ears prick forward, focused on the task at hand, while the man's expression remains calm and determined. The thatched cottage on the right, with its ivy-covered walls and smoke rising from the chimney, adds to the idyllic setting. The lush, green landscape, dotted with trees and farmland, stretches out in the background, creating a serene and pastoral atmosphere. Straidkilly, also known as 'The Slipping Village,' earned its name due to the unstable nature of the land, which caused houses to gradually slide down the hillside over time. Despite this challenge, the community thrived, and the village remained an integral part of the Carnlough area. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple yet resilient way of life that once defined rural communities in Northern Ireland. The horse and cart, the thatched cottage, and the rolling hills all serve as reminders of a time long gone, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and history of Straidkilly and Carnlough.
