Close Corn Hughie Londonderry Miller Tally Toome Toomebridge Dobbin Made Milled
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of rural life in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland during the early 1900s. The image focuses on local miller, Hughie Dobbin, as he meticulously records the amount of corn he has milled using a traditional wooden tally in the quaint village of Toomebridge. The tally, a simple yet effective tool for keeping track of production, is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the local community in the agricultural heartland of the region. With the mill situated beside the River Bann, the waterwheel can be seen in the background, turning steadily to power the milling process. The close-up view of the tally provides a glimpse into the daily routine of a corn miller, a profession that was once integral to the rural economy of Northern Ireland. The photograph, with its rich historical context, offers a poignant reminder of a bygone era, where the rhythms of nature and the community were intertwined in the simple yet essential task of milling grain.
