Going for the Turf: A Glimpse into the Past of Irish Slide Car Culture in County Antrim, Northern Ireland This photograph transports us back in time to the early 1900s in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The image showcases a traditional Irish slide car, affectionately known as the 'Glynns of Antrim,' parked outside a quaint thatched cottage. The slide car, a unique mode of transportation native to the region, was a popular means for transporting turf, a vital fuel source for heating homes in rural Ireland. Two local men, dressed in typical turn-of-the-century attire, are seen outside the cottage, likely preparing for a day of turf-collecting. Their expressions convey a sense of camaraderie and determination as they gear up for the task at hand. The men's clothing, from their heavy coats and hats to their sturdy boots, speaks to the harsh climate and physical demands of their daily lives. The thatched cottage in the background, with its ivy-covered walls and smoke billowing from the chimney, adds to the idyllic scene. The lush, green landscape surrounding the cottage and slide car highlights the rich natural resources that made turf-collecting a necessary and essential activity for the residents of County Antrim. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of the Irish people during a time when traditional ways of life were still prevalent. The Irish slide car, with its historical and cultural significance, continues to be an enduring symbol of the region's unique heritage.
