EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into the past of the Kieselguhr Industry at Toome in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, during the early 1900s. The image showcases a factory scene where two laborers are intently focused on digging clay from the rich deposits of the Bann River. The third man is seen using a barrow to transport the clay, likely to be used in the production process. The Kieselguhr Industry was renowned for its production of diatomaceous earth, a naturally occurring siliceous sediment made up of fossilized diatoms. This microscopic organism's skeletons were abundant in the Bann Clay deposits, making Toome an ideal location for mining this valuable resource. The men in the photograph work diligently, their faces etched with determination and concentration. Their simple yet effective tools, shovels and a barrow, are a testament to the manual labor required to extract the clay. The scene is set against a backdrop of the rolling hills and the meandering Bann River, adding to the picturesque beauty of the location. The photograph provides a fascinating insight into the industrial history of County Antrim and the Kieselguhr Industry at Toome. It is a poignant reminder of the hard work and dedication that went into extracting this valuable resource, which played a significant role in various industries, including agriculture, horticulture, and filtration systems.
