Grinding Corn with a Saddle Quern, Co. Antrim: A Window into the Past This evocative photograph captures the image of an old lady, deeply engrossed in the age-old process of grinding corn using a saddle quern, in the beautiful County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Dating back to the early 1900s, this image offers a rare glimpse into the rural past of this enchanting region. The saddle quern, a traditional grinding tool, is a simple yet effective device that has been used for millennia to grind grains and other hard substances. The upper quern, or the saddle, is placed on top of the lower quern, or the millstone. The lady, with a determined look on her face, skillfully turns the upper quern back and forth, applying just the right amount of pressure to grind the corn into coarse meal. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery and rolling hills, adding to the serene and idyllic atmosphere. The old lady's modest attire, worn with a shawl draped around her shoulders, speaks volumes about the simple, rustic way of life that once prevailed in this region. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of County Antrim and the resilience of its people. It invites us to reflect on the passage of time and the many changes that have taken place in our world. A beautiful and evocative piece of history, this image is a must-have for anyone with an interest in the social and cultural history of Northern Ireland.
