EDITORS COMMENTS
Curfew Tower, Cushendall, Co. Antrim: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph offers a glimpse into the past of Cushendall, a picturesque coastal town located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The image, taken circa early 1900s, focuses on the Curfew Tower, a historic landmark that once served as a symbol of authority and protection for the town's residents. The Tower, standing proudly in the foreground, is surrounded by a quaint street, with the rest of the town visible in the background. The cobblestone road, lined with houses and shops, leads the eye to the modern conveniences of the early 20th century - motor cars making their way through the town. The presence of a horse-drawn cart in front of the Tower adds a contrasting touch, highlighting the transition from the old to the new. Curfew Tower, built in the 17th century, was used to signal the townspeople of impending danger, such as an attack by enemy forces or a fire. The tower's name derives from the Scottish Gaelic term "Cearr-fheis," meaning "turning back," as the townspeople were required to return home during curfew hours for their safety. This photograph not only showcases the rich history of Cushendall but also offers a unique perspective into the daily life of the town during an era of significant change. The blend of tradition and innovation, as represented by the Tower and the motor cars, respectively, encapsulates the essence of this Northern Irish town.
