This type of video only adds to my confusion .There are no construction pics of any of the fabulous Catholic cathedrals 1860/80 built all over the Country long after some of these pics were taken .
How do I contact the producer of this video to see if I can use the material in a video for our local history society - it is about women in Ireland in the 1900 ish
Absolutely magical, what a great song. So sad Mr Lynott left us at such a young age. Why do the gifted burn out so early, depriving the world of their talent. Sadly missed, an Icon of 70s/80s music. RIP Phil, thanks for the memories.
Can anyone assist? At 1:41 how did they get the first masted ship beyond what was the forerunner to Tara Street Bridge? It can only move between this bridge and the next. The image at 5:22 appears to resolve as it suggestst that this bridge was a swing bridge.
RIP Shane MacGowan! You decide to salute a poet who was not so well known outside Eire, but you did so with class and grace. Now, I will have to look up Mr Mangan now .Best way to understand Irish History is by listening to Irish Music.
I remember as a child in the early 70's walking the cobbled stone streets of the Thomas Street area that still had the old steel tram rails embedded in them....looking at those photos...little had changed until that point. Wonderful pictures!
My Grandfather was born in Dublin 1902, grandmother 1904 so this would have been the Dublin my great grandparents lived...and so on and so on. My mother loved Dublin.
Seeing the union flags hanging on Grafton Street is so surreal. I mean, I know it happened, but just seeing it in a photograph makes it so much more real than when I learned about it in history class in the 1980s.
@@wildbill13s wildbill, I finally found them! The Sons of Maxwell. They aren’t recording anymore and I couldn’t find the song on any platform, so I think I converted the RU-vid file into an mp3. I’m pretty sure they still have a website and you can buy a cd. Best of luck to you. Best cover of that song ever if you ask me. Even better than Sinatra!
This was brilliant. Thanks for posting this. But I have to say, the kids at 3:43 & 4:44? Well, their great grand kids today are either barristers, well connected business people, politicians or high ranking civil servants, right?
I visited Dublin in 1970 and discovered that here as in the rest of Ireland that “High Tea” in a cafe meant a huge plate piled high with mixed grill and chips .
Emotional for me...I'm the grandfather now you see...I remember going into the old county bar in Crumlin to tell me da his dinner was ready and all the barmen wore aprons, back in the 60s.
Thankfully many of the streets are still very recognisable, O'Connell bridge was so narrow back in the 1800's, It is a lot wider now, but O'Connell St is still recognisable. Grafton St is nearly entirely intact.
