CROSSKEYS 562
This is an art form that you simply just don't see any more. Thatching a roof is a highly skilled job, but in the 19th century even the most humble homes often boasted a neatly trimmed thatch. Sadly practically all of them have long since vanished, but this lovely shot of a craftsman tending the roof of the Crosskeys Bar near Toome - one of the finest examples in the area - is a wonderful reminder of how things used to be. The year is unknown.

CRUMLIN INFANT SCHOOL 3448
It's that time of the year once again here for Class 3 at Crumlin Infant School back in 1917 which was in Crown Street.
More than likely it's the first time any of them have seen a big box on a tripod and worst of all being told to stay very still and so it shows on some of their faces. Take for instance the first boy on the left in the back row looks scared, the next boy does not know what to do while 4th along the girl is a bit dubious, while at the end of the row the boy face looks stiff with fear but from the waist down he is shaking that much that he is also moving the teacher from the waist down causing the lines to appear in the photograph and for her to look apprehensive. The first boy in the middle row does not like this not one bit, 4th along the same row is pouting, the next girl is not to sure while 2nd from the end looks like she is ready to burst into tears.
The only one who doesn't seem to care what is going on is the first boy in the front row with his hands in his pockets and a cheeky grin on his face, you can just imagine what he must have been like in class.
At the moment neither pupils or Teacher are known at the moment unless you know, if so please let me know.

Also the step in the middle entrance you can see where it has worn down with the amount of people walking on it.

CRUMLIN VIADUCT 3424

It crosses both the road and the Crumlin river and was built in 1915 by James Findlay and Co. Ltd. of Motherwell. In the distance is covered cart being pulled by a horse through this mire of a road, it would be quite a while before tarmac appeared but at least they have one solitary street lamp for the whole of the road.

CRUMLIN VIADUCT 3425
It's winter time in Crumlin with snow on the ground and one solitary figure trudging through the lush on the pavement here on the Mill Road.
The tracks on the dirt road show no motor vehicles have been here only horse drawn carts. The photograph was taken before 1915 for the railway viaduct was taken down that year and replaced with a new one. Now this bridge didn't disappear like a famous one in Antrim it went to Windsor Park Football
ground and was used as a walkway over a street to the football grounds.

MOTOR RACING THROUGH CRUMLIN 3426
Here on the outskirts of Crumlin on the Mill road all the local people have gathered to watch the racing cars fly past them. The race was before 1915 for the railway viaduct was taken down that year and replaced with a new one, so many of these people would not have seen a motorized vehicle
