Newspaper Vendors of Limerick City, Ireland 1980

[@seandelap8587]

Limerick is my home city but i don't recognise most of those shops the Lyric cinema is long gone as are the newspaper boys and are most likely dead by now its fascinating to learn about their life and they really understood tough times of hardships and RIP to them all

[@wilfredwilde9559]

I do .I was in third class when that was made .I remember Savins music shop well .

I worked for the Limerick Weekly Echo as a young journalist in 1979/1980. Great times and wonderful memories meeting so many down to earth characters.

Great film, scenes, vehicles 👍 Two Renault 4 cars AND an AlfaSud 😊

[@Lar308]

I look at these video's to see the cars too🤣 - loved that Alfasud - my dream car at the time but the sporty Ti two door version. I have a nice 1983 Ti two door in my garage right now which I have owned for nearly 15 years.

I sold newspapers 20 years man and boy on the streets of Dublin. A tough life, you'll never meet a rich newspaper seller.

Born and raised in Limerick City. Broke my heart when I had to leave there, from not being able to find a job and being on the dole. I immigrated to the USA (Chicago) in 87, I didn't recognize the City I grew up in, when I came home for a visit, so much has changed. Look at all the High Nellie's. William (Blackie) McDonald.

My god look at all those fantastic cars we used to have!

[@patriciaoreilly8907]

I remember the paper stand 😊 sent down the road in the evening to get the evening paper 😊 Dad sitting in the kitchen in the evening reading the paper & doing the Pool's 😊😊

[@Lar308]

Pity to see the Railway Hotel has closed. I used to like to go in there and have a light meal if I was waiting for a train or bus and I spent many hours standing at that corner when I was a Garda in Limerick from 1983 - 1990.

Commiserations

[@dibble2005]

The Limerick Leader got rich on the backs of the poor.

[@dibble2005]

and the beautiful Lyric Cinema behind Taits clock demolished by the notorious Limerick Council. They should have been jailed the city managers who knocked multiple Limerick landmarks and historic buildings. Talk about morons.
