THEY WERE THE TIMES NO FOREIGN INFLUENCE

ballyhaunis belongs to mohammad now

History that’s gone in to the time capsule. Enjoyed this so much it brings back memories ☘️

Absolutely beautiful video and narration. God bless and save Ireland.

Ballyhaunis is no longer an Irish Town.

The guard was Frank Vaughan from balla, co Mayo. Must have been sent up there for the day!! These videos are a joy to watch, thank you👍

People used to be so much more real

Ballyhaunis is now the Gaza of the West of Ireland

I spotted my grandfather "Peter Gallagher". Thank You!!!

This is excellent. Fair play to whoever put it up

So beautiful and innocent,wish we could turn back the clock to those rich cultural days.

I am a Welsh backwater country boy,went to England worked with the boys from the fair Isle in construction and Civils. Mostly country men like I and this film shows the strong stock they came from. The rural economy has changed everywhere and a huge loss in social wellbeing has gone too. As for the livestock shown here.those beeves and sheep are the sort/ type we should be producing here and now instead of the pure types everywhere today.A lot smoking but most folk might have not have had a full ser of teeth but they all seemed fitter than common folk of these days. 1971 seems only yesterday but in reality it was a life time back and away

How times have changed. Times were tought but people were happy.

it's such a beautiful and exotic culture

Pure gold.

Beautiful narration
