EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a simpler time at Portstewart, County Derry, Northern Ireland, in 1988. The small boy, dressed in shorts and a t-shirt, can be seen intently focusing on his fishing net in the old outdoor seawater swimming pool. The pool, now redeveloped as The Crescent Play Park, was once a popular destination for locals seeking to enjoy the wild, tidal waters of the coast. In the background, the Presbyterian Church and The Crescent stand proudly, adding a sense of history and tradition to the scene. The streets of Portstewart are visible in the distance, bustling with activity. This photograph, taken in the 1980s, offers a glimpse into the past and the simple pleasures of childhood. The boy's determination to catch a fish in the old swimming pool is a reminder of the joy and freedom that can be found in the simplest of experiences. The image transports us back to the 80s, a decade marked by change and transformation, yet filled with moments of innocence and wonder.
