Salmon Leap on Bush River, Bushmills: A Captivating View from the Early 1900s Nestled in the heart of County Antrim, Northern Ireland, lies the picturesque village of Bushmills, renowned for its rich history and natural beauty. This evocative photograph, captured in the early 1900s, showcases a stunning view of Salmon Leap on the Bush River. The image reveals a weir, a man-made structure designed to create a pool where salmon can jump upstream to continue their journey. To the left, the remnants of an old mill and its waterwheel can be seen, their industrial past now a tranquil part of the landscape. The backs of quaint houses huddle together in the distance, their chimneys poking up against the skyline. The Bush River, a tributary that flows into the North Atlantic Ocean, is a vital habitat for salmon, providing them with essential spawning grounds. The Salmon Leap is a testament to the area's rich fishing heritage, which has been passed down through generations. The photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past when the rhythm of life was dictated by the ebb and flow of the river. The scene is a poignant reminder of the intricate relationship between humans and nature, and the enduring beauty of rural Ireland.
