HARVEST TIME

His workmates are unknown.

HOME FROM THE SEA
Safe and well and home from the sea in 1940 is Sammy White with his cousin Mary White on the left and on the right is his sister Jean White.

HUGH McMANUS & SONS
Standing outside his shop in lower Main Street is Hugh McManus with his sons in 1902.
The family business actually started in 1869 and as you can see they not only supplied materials but were builders as well. Not only did they take on local
projects but they worked far and wide, the lighthouse on Aran Island off Co.Donegall was one of their projects. As the business grew they purchased a
steam sawmill and were then able to make all their own planks ect for the building trade. The Hurrell family bought over the business in 1945 and are still in
business but the building in the photograph was burned down in 1986 but the house on the right is still standing.

HOLLYBROOK BEETLING MILL
This is Hollybrook Beetling Mill at Magheralane in 1912, about a mile outside Randalstown and getting his photograph taken seated in his Renault tourer
beside his chauffeur is the owner Mr. John L. Smith. In the back of the car on the left is Mrs Lindsay with her daughter whose name is unknown.
The beetling mill hammered the linen to bring out the finish that linen is famous for. Powered by the water from the River Main the noise from the mill was
tremendous that it could be heard quite a distance away. Not only did the workers become deaf with the noise but the building itself vibrated with the
pounding that sometimes the mills would become so unstable they would have to be abandoned.
