We left Cork in 1969 when I was just a nipper and although we went back often its sweet to see it as it was as I remember it then!!

[@GhastlyCretin]

Great footage. Weird to see Cork in the 60's. Seems like a different world.

[@bpoleary1]

My god, that flashing advertising screen across from Patrick's Bridge that used to amuse me so much as a kid in the early 90s was there back then too? Amazing!!🤩

[@jimmyfitz8168]

Yea always remember that coming back from Middleton coming up the Quay. Seemed to be the same ad for 30 years.

[@tacobell6826]

Anyone remember the tea-room upstairs at the Savoy in the 1960's? Mum used to take me there sometimes, and after to a film in the cinema next door. 😀

i realize I am quite randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to watch new tv shows online ?

[@watsonzaire9081]

@Myles Julius lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it on google :)

[@samuelemilio433]

@Myles Julius i watch on Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)

[@markosullivan4095]

There was no speed limit at the time if memory serves me!

My uncle had a car with a hole were the foot brake was and used he’s walking stick to stop the car 🚗

[@jonnypostman]

Brilliant. Thanks for that. I keep meaning to put up old family super8 film but i can't figure out how to convert to digital. any suggestions?

[@jonnypostman]

thanks. have you seen the 1902 footage of cork. it hasnt changed much.

[@LovesTheGash]

Unreal

[@raleighburner1589]

I remember Cash's had a mahogany staircase with a lift in the middle of it and sold mink fur coat on the second floor ...in 1975 the coat cost 1800 pounds ..a house at that time might have cost 7000 pounds ...

[@bradleylinemihler]

you can go to digilog shop washington street cork. i also hear maplin sells some kind of converter for cine to dvd..

[@jeromedesmond2741]

Savage place in the world

[@bradleylinemihler]

i will have a look..

[@StephenRBeet]

Could be the cinima organ that was in Cork. Now in Limerick, I think.

[@bradleylinemihler]

No my uncle lived in England so most likely blackpool england. He was on vacation in cork

[@StephenRBeet]

@@bradleylinemihler Reginald Dixon, then!

[@mrbobbob3113]

was sure back there,, was no car's in Ireland,, only horses and donkey's ofcourse

[@raleighburner1589]

Well thought made a fool of you

[@therocknrollgamer9572]

Where did you get the video, and who was driving?

[@bradleylinemihler]

i got it off my uncle..he was driving and my aunt filming

[@therocknrollgamer9572]

@@bradleylinemihler Cool! As 13 watching it, I am jealous of my grandparents who managed to live through the 60's, dunno why, just am.

[@bradleylinemihler]

@@therocknrollgamer9572 tbh the streets are generally the same and Grannabraher still the same as in the video. the cars are what really give away that its 55 years ago!

[@steveincork3669]

Early 70s more like it

[@stormscrew8359]

Isn't first images down by Argos

[@philip.aocallaghan4602]

The picture quality is terrible.. a shame

[@macker33]

I remember those buses in the 70s, the conductor would stand at the back to prevent people hopping on when the bus was moving.

[@paull7125]

Fred Bridgman on the Savoy electronic organ?

[@bradleylinemihler]

similar but i think it was played in blackpool england. they were converted to video there

[@paull7125]

Thank information. Wounder if recordings were made though?

[@bradleylinemihler]

i wouldnt know..the conversion would have been done by my uncle in the 1980's i think it was procedure to add music to films with no sountrack you could ask cork film services on washington street cork as the would have followed the same procedure in the 1980's when doing conviersion. they still provide the service today

[@paull7125]

Thanks

[@baz3338]

Still looks the same

[@bradleylinemihler]

except for the cars and clothes

[@kevinfitzsimons41]

Great video but my God what is the deal with the awful music???? Tis like funfair music from the 1930s!

[@bradleylinemihler]

lol that came with the video on the VHS:) and I think its blackpool england from the 1950s
