Antrim Carting Grape Iron Manure Primitive Turning
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the rural scene of two men laboriously turning manure beside a horse-drawn cart in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, during the early 1900s. The primitive iron grape, a traditional agricultural tool, is in full use as the men shovel manure into the cart, preparing it for spreading on the fields as fertilizer. The horse, harnessed and ready to transport the load, stands patiently, its breath visible in the crisp air. The scene is one of simplicity and hard work, a testament to the agricultural heritage of this region. The iron grape, a simple yet effective tool, was widely used in rural areas for manure collection and transportation before the advent of modern farming equipment. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the rhythm of the land and the seasons shaped the daily lives of farmers and their communities.
