Slipe used for Carrying Corn, Carnlough: A Glimpse into the Past of Northern Ireland's Agricultural Heritage This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the early 1900s in the picturesque village of Carnlough, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The image showcases a horse-drawn slide car, or 'slipe,' laden with sacks of freshly harvested corn. The three figures in the photograph, dressed in traditional rural attire, are likely local farmers or laborers, engaged in the essential task of transporting their crops from the fields to the village. The thatched cottage in the background, with its whitewashed walls and quaint chimney, adds to the idyllic scene, reminding us of a simpler way of life. The horse, harnessed and ready to pull the load, stands patiently, its coat glistening in the sunlight. The verdant fields and rolling hills in the distance provide a breathtaking backdrop, emphasizing the rich agricultural heritage of this region. The 'slipe' was a common mode of transportation in rural areas of Northern Ireland during the early 20th century, used to transport various goods, including crops, livestock, and firewood. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing us with a unique insight into the daily lives and hard work of the farming community in County Antrim. As we admire this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the resilience and resourcefulness of our ancestors, who lived and worked in harmony with the land and the seasons.
