Former holiday bungalows, Whitehead
During the early part of the 20th century east Antrim, roughly from Eden to Islandmagee, was a popular spot for wooden holiday bungalows. These two (then vacant and boarded-up and subsequently removed) were beside the Blackhead path (“Old Castle Road” on the Google map) to the lighthouse. For another example (also removed) see Image (July 2009).
