Eel Weirs, Toomebridge: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph takes us back in time to the early 1900s, showcasing the picturesque Eel Weirs in Toomebridge, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The image presents a serene view of the wooden weirs, intricately designed to facilitate the capture of eels as they migrated upstream. Toomebridge, a historic town nestled in the heart of County Antrim, is renowned for its rich fishing heritage. The Eel Weirs, located on the banks of the River Bann, were an essential part of the local community, providing a valuable source of food and income for the residents. The photograph reveals the intricate design of the weirs, with their interconnected wooden bars and channels, which were carefully crafted to trap eels as they swam upstream during their annual migration. The weirs were typically operated by local fishermen, who would carefully tend to them, ensuring the eels were harvested sustainably. The peaceful scene is further enhanced by the tranquil water, reflecting the surrounding trees and the clear blue sky above. The gentle flow of the river, combined with the serene atmosphere, creates an idyllic setting that transports us back in time. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and heritage of Toomebridge and County Antrim, providing a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the importance of preserving our cultural and natural heritage for future generations to enjoy.
