My Own Place- Pat Murphy’s West Cork 

Great to see my grandfather John O'Keeffe delivering bread around 21 mins into the video

Oh what a trip down memory lane. I spent my summers in Goleen growing up as my mother's family were all from Dunmanus Bay. I knew many many of the faces in this video, some of whom are relatives. These were the nicest, kindest people I have ever met. Nearly all gone now. God Bless them.

This is a great posting. i'll go back one more time for sure. A memory lane absolutely.

A really nice video brings back memories, I have been visiting Crookhaven and Barleycove on and off since the late '60s and am planning on a week's holiday in Barleycove next June. It's my favourite place in Ireland, I would live there full time if I could.

Superb...that was a trip down memory lane! I grew up in West Cork in the 70's in Aughadown, near Ballydehob. I remember well milk churns to the creamery and walking cattle to Skibereen Market...running ahead of the cattle with baler twine to put across gaps in the hedge!!. A different time !. I head back every summer and never tire of exploring the peninsulas of West Cork and seeing old friends...a big part of my heart is forever in West Cork!! Cheers, Steve

Patrick Murphy was my great grandfather. Please feel free to message and share stories with me. What a beautiful, nearly forgotten time.

@ 7:51, that’s my Grandfather - ‘Johnny Joe’ O’Driscoll

I worked with a man from Kent who lived in the hippy community in Ballydehob in the 70, .He brought me in the pictures of all his fellow hippies outside a small courtyard with thatched houses. Loved his Stories .

I think this film was taken the eighties mainly because the woman handling the petrol pump was May McCarthy I think.

Thank-you!
