    Grew up in Ballyphehane and remember the Southside shopping center under construction and was there a few times when it was open. Was around when Vicars road was built and Edward Walsh road was been built as well . Went to the driving test center behind the shopping center to do the driving test around 1976. Dr Flynns surgery was there too. Great memories.

    Outstanding historical video. Congratulations. What a place . Heartbeat of Northside long before Fords , Dunlops . The Apple Computers of years gone by . I had to laugh at the subtitles 😂Because I’m a Norrie born and raised, our accent lives its own history . Subtitles don’t work with “Norrie” . Siri on my iPhone still can’t figure me out 😂😂🇮🇪🇮🇪CorcaighAbú

    I don't think I knew where it actually was. My oldest sister worked there. We lived off of Shandon Stret. I was 7 years younger. I left Cork on my own in 1977. Was it closed in 1990 and the building caught fire in 2003? I wasn't very clear on that.

    Fond memories lived in Togher from 1966 to 1984 my first class was at the original boys school (Hen House) then across to the old girls school teacher Mrs Lucey,then Mrs Murphy,crossed the road again to the prefab behind the Hen House taught by Mrs Quinn from Earlwood then to the New boys school such excitement taught by Mr O'Brien,Mr Pardi and Mr Burns.Collecting frog spawn in the bog and walking with your pals up the African Missions or Snotty bridge,made my confirmation in the new church,my sister took ceili dancing lessons in the cottage next to the old girls school and in the adjacent cottage the woman who lived there I think her name was Mrs O'Brien always had the top half of the front door open and would greet you with a lovely smile when you were getting off the bus.Flor Dullea (Mrs Murphys brother) was the principal and he drove a maroon Ford Zephyr which was akin to a Cadillac at the time that might be it at 6:19.I left Ireland in 1984 but its great to see this film I also saw a trip to Dublin Zoo and Kilmainham Jail on the Togher BNS archives that I had totally forgotten about.Thanks again.

      On the off - chance that you're not being sarcastic, it's a suburb× of Cork, in Ireland, on the South side of the city, much of it council housing built in the early 1970's, but with a lot of middle class housing also. Not far from the airport. ×'Suburb'... in the European sense of the word moreso than how it is understood in America.

    What a story I love the banter of the people who worked in the big factory’s They were assume people and they were all very happy not like the factory’s of today - To see the factory’s on fire broke the people’s heart- That was very sad - All the good people who stood together all their lives and then everything was brunt- Love the way they worked together and marrying the child hood friends who were gob smacked at the massive fire at the sunbeam)) God bless each and every one of ya!!

It was great to show this to my Kids and explain all the old haunts, so many memories of growing up in Togher, going to Togher school and then onto Tramore Road. A fantastic place to grow up, Many a bazzer I got from Sandra Dalton or Joe across in the fivestar, chips and a pie from Tom's place with a video from CTV or a few gallons of petrol in Sean Hanley's place.
