Whitehead from the Station: A Snapshot of Early 20th Century Life in County Antrim, Northern Ireland This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene at Whitehead Station in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, around the turn of the 20th century. The image, devoid of people, invites us to imagine the hustle and bustle that once filled this vibrant street. Horses and horse-drawn vehicles dominate the scene, their forms frozen in time as they wait at the station entrance. The station, with its red-brick facade and ornate ironwork, stands proudly in the background, a testament to the engineering marvels of the era. The horses, hitched to the carriages and carts, seem to be taking a brief respite from their daily labors, their ears twitching at the sound of the approaching train. The cobblestone street, slick with rain, reflects the gray sky above, adding to the moody atmosphere of the scene. The horse vehicles, adorned with intricate designs and bold colors, speak to the pride and craftsmanship of their owners. The absence of people in the photograph only serves to heighten the sense of anticipation and excitement, as if we are witnessing a moment before the daily rush begins. Whitehead, a picturesque coastal town in County Antrim, was an important transportation hub during this period. The arrival and departure of trains brought new opportunities and connections to the town and its people. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, a snapshot of a bygone era when horses and trains ruled the roads and rails of County Antrim.
