Gentlemens Bathing Place, Whitehead: A Timeless Moment in Early 20th Century Northern Irish Coastal Life This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era at the Gentlemens Bathing Place in Whitehead, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The image, taken circa early 1900s, offers a captivating view of the changing box and pier, where men would gather to enjoy a refreshing swim in the Irish Sea. The photograph reveals a serene and picturesque scene. The pier, extending gracefully into the sea, is adorned with a row of wooden changing boxes, each with its unique number. The changing boxes, designed to provide privacy for the bathers, are a testament to the modesty and decency of the time. Men, dressed in swimsuits and bathing trunks, can be seen diving into the crystal-clear waters from the pier. Their laughter and joy are palpable, as they revel in the invigorating experience of a dip in the sea. The sea, calm and tranquil, reflects the blue sky and the white clouds, creating a breathtaking tableau. The Gentlemens Bathing Place in Whitehead was a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. The location, with its stunning coastal views and inviting waters, offered a respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures and joys of coastal living in early 20th century Northern Ireland.
