Whitehead from the Bla Hole

The town of Whitehead owes its existence to the Belfast and Northern Counties Railway which gave free season tickets to anyone building a villa there. It lies just off the Carrickfergus-Larne road at the bottom of cliffs. The Blackhead lighthouse is to the top right of the photograph and just visible above it, is Ailsa Craig. The orange building by the shore was built as an open-air swimming pool and is now a football social club.
