EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at Wm. Barbour and Sons Linen Thread Works in Dunmurry, Northern Ireland, circa early 1900s. Located in the heart of the Irish Linen Industry, the factory was a significant contributor to the region's economy during this period. The image showcases the impressive size and scale of the facility, with its tall chimneys billowing smoke into the sky, and the sprawling buildings housing the various stages of the linen thread production process. The workers, both men and women, can be seen clad in protective clothing, diligently tending to the machines or transporting bales of linen thread between buildings. The intricate machinery, some of which was imported from England, is a testament to the advanced technology of the time, and the precision and skill required to operate it. The Linen Thread Works was a family-owned business, with William Barbour and his sons at the helm. The Barbour family had been involved in the linen industry for generations, and their expertise and dedication to quality were reflected in the high-grade linen thread produced at the factory. The thread was exported to various parts of the world, including the United States, and was used in the production of fine fabrics for the fashion industry. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of the Irish Linen Industry and the people who worked in it. The image is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Northern Ireland and the important role that industries like Wm. Barbour and Sons Linen Thread Works played in shaping its economic and social landscape.
