1986 Westport Co. Mayo, Ireland

[@drawingboard82]

Nice footage, thanks for sharing. I was 4 at the time and remember visiting Westport at least once a week for shopping. Its surprising how little is different now Sure, all the wharehouses have been rebuilt, but the shops are the same and Allergan is still the same colour!

I remember 1986 like it was only yesterday.. Yet the cars and peoples attire look like ancient bygone days

I’m fairly sure an uncle of mine is crossing the bottom of Peter Street as the car comes round, LOL. What’s striking about this video is how little the street scape has changed, architecturally (a few pubs and shops have changed hands, particularly Cafolla’s, McHale’s, Rosbeg Stores etc. but that’s about it). Dunno whether this is due to it being a planned town or Westport being a tight community.

I got married in New York in 1986 and spent 10 weeks in Ireland on my honeymoon and getting straightened out with US immigration. I spent a couple of nights in Westport on the way to or from Achill. Somehow this video almost looked like it was in black and white .... the drab weather made it look that way I think.

Everyone played the Pan Pipes in Westport in 86. Mad craze so it was.
