The Cut Rock at Garron Point: A Glimpse into the Past of Northern Ireland's Antrim Coast This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, showcases a remarkable view of the Antrim Coast Road in Northern Ireland. The image highlights a unique section of the roadway where a large rock has been expertly cut vertically to allow for the passage of vehicles. The natural wonder of the landscape is further accentuated by the presence of a woman and a young boy, who stand on the right side of the image, holding up a long marker for scale. Located in County Antrim, this area of the Antrim Coast is renowned for its breathtaking cliffs, rugged shoreline, and rich history. The Cut Rock at Garron Point is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the people who built and maintained the roads in this region, enabling travel along the coast even in the most challenging of terrains. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era when transportation was not as convenient as it is today. The image also serves as a reminder of the close connection between people and the natural world, as they navigated the landscape and made the most of its unique features to build a roadway that would endure the test of time. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of the beauty and resilience of Northern Ireland's Antrim Coast and the rich history that lies within it. The Cut Rock at Garron Point is a testament to the past, a symbol of ingenuity, and a reminder of the enduring connection between people and the land.
