Dublin Town in 1965

[@johnoneill4530]

Memories of me as a 12yr old getting the bus from my grandparents in Ballinteer into Dublin. Lovely time. Every year travelled to Ireland from Hertfordshire by train and 'The Princess Maude' from Holyhead to Dublin. When 11 I travelled alone.....couldn't do that today!!

My Father was born in Flemmings place(where Jury's hotel now stands) all that remains are the stone steps that his little feet trod up and down. My granny then moved to Benmadigan Rd Drimnagh (Happy happy memories) The greatest love of his life was Dublin and my own life was enriched for having been shown so many beautiful places in Ireland. Whenever I see the scene in the film Braveheart where the newcomer states" its my Ireland" i smile and think of my dad. A lifetime of wonderful memories( the horse kept on the plot in drimnagh) Zozimus and the churchyard, Bang bang an old character in the the town, the Strand, Balls Bridge,Clearys and the abracadabra,the quays, and the smell of a peat fire . Erin go bragh❤

Was in Dublin in May and it is recognisable but so very different. The pillar has gone but there’s the big needle that no one likes but it is impressive. Sad that it’s gone for shiny glass buildings but has loads of character still. The people are still up for a laugh and friendly.

Never seen a CIE bus go that fast !!

[@kennethokeeffe9060]

Interesting. People seemed fairly relaxed about not keeping to traffic lanes (to the extent that they were even marked out) or indicating between lanes/turning. Of course, this was just about the time that a driving test was introduced so I'd imagine a lot of these guys simply made it up as they went along!

[@seamusburke9101]

The driving test came in 1964 and was no big deal anyway.

Lot of coppers actually out on foot, and individually, not zooming around in cars in threes and fours. And if any passing Brit or American is choking over the Swastika Laundry van at 4:33, the laundry was founded back in Edwardian days when the Swastika was still just a good luck symbol and made a good logo. Prescient, eh?

@@GirGir183 The company also used electric vans, coloured red and decorated with a white swastika on a black roundel. It was one of these vans that almost ran down the German writer Heinrich Boll, when he visited Dublin in 1954. Boll, who had been wounded in the war, was a vehement anti-Nazi. He had been initially shocked by the similarity the van had to those used in Germany to distribute the Nazi party newspaper, until he read the date of establishment of the company which was painted beneath the swastika.1912.
