![Dublin, Ireland 1960s in color [60fps,Remastered] w/sound design added](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/MVZ-0A9Y1yc/mqdefault.jpg)
🇺🇸 I was there in 1965 by myself at 19 years old!! Have nothing but great memories!! Bought a Bultaco motorcycle in Dublin . Rode thru
Ireland,England, France, Builgum and Holland. Then New York to Los Angeles
My mother immigrated to the U.S. in 1959 after haven met and married my father who was a GI. These videos sadden me because her heart never left Dublin.
People seemed poorer but much happier back then. They also had faith and a much slower pace of life. Lovely photographs.
Nah they lived in terror and repression…especially the women
@@emu9520 how do you know?
@e mu no they didn't- utter rubbish!
its terror and repression they live now - women have no freedom - people can't even say what a woman is !
@@CouncilOfWolves I'm Irish...First hand accounts of how bad it was....women were treated like breeding cows
@@emu9520 I'm Irish also but that doesn't make the myth true. Big families were a necessity back then as a guarantee for survival. Men were treated like workhorses. When the going gets tough the tough do what they have to do. I'm closer to that generation than I suspect you are and people were indeed happier back then because they knew their place ie: their role in society.
I grew up in the 70s but still remember the horse and cart on the roads going to creamery with milk churns on them. I see a plough man there, my grandfather was a plough man stretching from the teens to late 50s. I miss some of the old culture.
Life was hard,but we were happy.God be with the days.Buried in our memories
In relation to Dublin... The older Dubs had a certain dignity and values even though undoubtedly there was poverty. Speaking to older people years ago who would tell of never having to lock the door even at night. Of rarely having to call the Gardai. Of rarely hearing any disturbance in the neighborhood. 60 years changed a lot. Drugs devastated so many communities. While there is need for a social safety net for supporting those who fall on hard times, did the social support go too far in creating an expectation for a government to provide for everything?
Like any other decade there was a lot of poverty and squalor in Dublin, but family values were better, people more mannered, looking out for one another. That's what is sadly missing today, far too much self entitlement and a lack of friendliness in many ways
If you dropped dead in the city centre today, the zombies would step over your corpse and continue scrolling on their phones whilst your fillings and wallet were stolen by some of the imports the government has welcomed at our expense!
The question to ask is how did those values disappear you will not get any answer from politicians only a Web of lies and deciet.
Yes Sean....Sadly now all they know is "the price of everything - and the value of nothing"
Ireland should have kept out of the EU!!
Now it's been taken over by "immigrants" who have more rights than the the rest of the population....
My mother God Rest Her used to say “When we had less we shared more”. She was born in 1915
Going to school meant trying to avoid a beating though. One man was partly deaf from beatings at school but couldn't spell his own name. He was only dyslexic. Not a nice place for women either and no place for non conformity. You could be read from the altar, like an alternative justice system. Those times also lacked warmth and compassion for many.
So proud to be Irish but it isn’t the same time’s are changing so fast it up sets me that kids don’t know what real life was like x
Beautiful. It’s a shame about the deliberate invasion taking place in the UK today.
Harder times in many ways, but simpler times as well. Wish I could just go back and stay there.
So would i stuck in time as a kid that would be a dream sadly not going to happen god bless.
I was a child in the 1960s and had five aunts nuns who looked just like the nuns in the video..
Thanks for the memories..
Tough times and people were more honest back then. Ya could leave your car door unlocked and a key in your front door. My neighbors used to leave the empty bottle milk outside the front door with the money for the milk. It was never robbed.
I can recall that also.
U should visit Saudi , uae
In my opinion, people really looked after one another...there was always someone to put their arms around you in tough times❤
Especially a Catholic priest
@@taslad5157 The fox knows his own smell.
@@taslad5157you should know sweetie
And someone to stigmatose and abandon you if you were unmarried and a guy got you pregnant. And someone to put you in an Industrial school if your parents couldn't or wouldn't look after you. And someone from the church to sexually abuse you and then keep quiet about it. ~Yes, it would be great to have those times back!!!
@@taslad5157 or nuns…
Can't believe how was like in old days, thanks so much gorgeous memories
That's the Ireland I would have liked to have visited. I would not go there now.
Don't know what you had till you lose it. Now it's gone for good.
Beautiful photos. The first one of O'Connell Street is one of the best photos I have ever seen of Dublin.
It captures the essence of the place when it was still characterful and parochial.
The Nun walking towards oblivion, the "Royal" van doing a U-turn, the cyclist, the smiling man with the ladder and the bucket, the pleasing fashions, it captures "no mean city" and a city very much at ease with itself.
Now the city of Joyce, Behan and Kavanagh, once, the proud second city of the Empire, resembles Blackpool, but without the sea or the charm.
The stump of Nelson Pillar.. while being a relic of British establishment should have been repaired and retained.or earlier still, the statue of Nelson should have been taken down and returned to the British, who would have been glad to accept him. British or not, the pillar was part of
O Connell St, more so than the hideous Spike.
So also the statue of Gough should have been removed from the horse at Phoenix park and the horse and plinth retained... Water under the bridge though
@@themadfarmer5207 I love the spire.
@@themadfarmer5207 Nelson's Pillar was built about 50 years before Nelsons column in London and not by the British but the corporation of Dublin to commemorate the part Irish sailors played in his victories.
@@freebeerfordworkers thank you for information. Still think it was pity to demolish the stump. Even if a stump of only 40/50 ft high could be saved
@@themadfarmer5207 Additional information, as you probably know you could go up to the top for sixpence and the platform just had railings around it until the early 1950s. Then tragically a man committed suicide from the top after which it was caged it in. I was very young but it was the talk of Dublin. The dealers used to have fruit stalls around the bottom and he landed on one of them and not surprisingly the woman nearly died with fright.
When I was a little older just after it had been blown down Ludovic Kennedy who became one of Britain's leading political commentators visited Dublin and remarked how much more beautiful O'Connell St was without it. A former naval officer and son of a naval officer he had no idea of its origins either.
Fantastic, Music was awesome, it caught my mood completely, 500 thumbs up.
At 0:36 the theater royal, pulled down to make way for the biggest monstrosity of an eyesore Dublin ever saw....hawkins house
No sooner than it came back Down in 2020...MK 2 is Shooting back up in 2022.
I grew up in Ballymun...Both my Late Parent's came from Dublin 7...My Da Passed away at home in Dublin 7 in Late June.
The countryside in Ireland is beautiful.
It is amazing
I always say nostalgia is a funny thing, makes our brain see things in a positive light, people talking about community and togetherness etc etc. but I ask you this, how many men did you see of 18-40yrs. Gone left the country to find employment, in the 50’s alone, 600,000 left lreland to seek employment. Nice photos though
We didn't have much,but we interacted with one another like human beings.Not like today.
The nun in the photo is Holy Faith. No doubt from the convent in Glasnevin. A hard, cold place.
Yes there was poverty but we have never been more polite, compassionate and hard working.
I miss the old days.
Ní neart go cur le chéile!!
There was less money back then, but people are less well off now, not in monetary terms, but in quality of life…
Notice you had no rains and beautiful skies. The reason is because the airline's modified their fuels to make more rotton weather as the use sulphates now in the fuels to make 80% more clouds and rain. Thanks Exeter university geoengineering department and the met office in England for constantly making you weather bad now. Loved the video, good times.
A penny for the black babies..... Jeepers, that would evoke some fury now
@Hazels88 they did indeed.
It came from the heart!😊
God be with the days.
So many smiles.
At 1:35 the newspaper seller has a sign that reads "Not Us says the IRA." This sadly is the sign of a dark cloud, The Troubles, which was to engulf Northern Ireland and later lead to great misery in parts of the Republic too. Hopefully the GFA will last and these dreadful times will only live on in history books.
I agree, I wish for nothing more than peace, prosperity and friendship for everyone on these islands
absolutely stunning photos
Many thanks!
Lovely post thank you 🌷
I started work in the Gresham Hotel 1969, all I ever got at nighttime was hello,goodnight and how is it going, now all you get is a good kicking and a.spell in Hospital if you' were lucky, and I am a Dub, born and reared,
Ireland is in the top 3 richest countries in the world for the past 15 years
In theory, paper figures on a balance sheet, bears no resemblance to real life.
What good has it done? Community, integrity is gone.
Thanks for sharing. That was my youth.
Very enjoyable, thank you.
Fabulous 😮
I loved the first pic of the Nun wearing a habit. You can't recognise most Nuns now, in secular clothing...symbolic of Catholics across the world, like salt that's lost it's flavour.
I am so sick of seeing the Sisters of St. Joe dragging around in ugly, baggy street clothes and only a slightly oversized pendant cross to indicate their vocation. It seems that the only nuns who look like nuns are the cloistered ones who never go out. Where my mother grew up, she received religious education from the Dominican sisters attached to her parish. Now that parish is gone, as are the sisters. Another large parochial school just closed near my home in the Boston area. At my church, they scramble to get enough religious ed teachers, drawing entirely from the congregation, from the laity. They keep offering the "encouragement " that it doesn't really take as much knowledge as most people think it does.
@@Vesnicie I pray for the resurgence of the religious orders, and there are some great examples of orthodox orders today.
There was less than half the population on Earth then, and it shows. i loved being alive in the 1960's but not today...
We had sovereignty then, we owned the land.. we should never have voted yes to Lisbon and Maastricht. Doomed
And if you thought that one year ago when your message was written that things were bad, then they are a lot worse now!😢
Grand images
Fascinating though rather depressing at times to witness the poverty .Nuns , nuns and more nuns , Amen .
Everywhere looked a lot cleaner ... no rubbish on the streets then .
There was no MC Donald's or Supermacs no Coffee to go. No one glugging water bottles
Some unsmiling beauties at 1:51. No wonder the men were in the pubs. Only smiles are men holding a Guiness. Even the kids frown:) But the countryside still smiles,and she's got a big welcoming one.
@@MrResearcher122give me the countryside over the cities any day 😊
@@MrResearcher122 guess. they might be The Children Of Mary guild
I can’t look at a nun without the word evil coming into my mind
Magic , loved the kid giving his penny for the black babies..
Ya, we were well prepped to give everything we had to them, now we call the fake-u-gees and foreign "students"
Ya and 40 years later all the little babies family and friends came over here to thank him and they never went back home.
Fech. Don't mention babies of colour. Their children are now coming to find the nuns who were so generous to daddy and mammy
If life was so good then, why did so many Irish emigrate to the UK and further afield
Great. Photos, but. People. Had it hard. Too/ loads. Brushed under the. Carpet
😍😍
Awwww💖
Fundamental fact ignored between 1920 and 1961 population dropped to 2.8 million people in ROI so every other observation of Ireland is superfluous when the youngest and brightest left!
i was i grew up in the 60s and 90s just going out with friends going to shops and it was much more colourful and fashionable then why did i have to be born in 2009 hopefully because im young in 2021 i still have a chance at getting my hands on time travel
1’20” love that photo of Nelson’s column in O’Connell Street!
Indeed there was a song issued about the 1/2 destruction of the Piller in 1966 (the Irish Army had to demolish the remaining, lower, 1/2) "Up Went Nelson In Old Dublin"...
@@davidlally592 The Johnston's??? The Ludlow's????

❤❤❤
The Irish, English, Scottish and Welsh are all equal and beautiful.
Does that include the protestant irish?
@@michellepeoplelikeyoumurde8373 yes. All Irish. All the Uk people are beautiful. The Irish, Scottish, English and Welsh.

Even though I was born in 1970 and grew up in Rural Ireland, even I realise that we need to return to these times, an Ireland that had class, decency and morality and that had a clear set of moral standards, so lacking today - I’ve lived in Manchester 23 years and when I come home to family in Ireland now, I’ve been consistently horrified by what our country has turned into, even in the 4 years since Covid, let alone the past 10 years before Covid
1960s. No apostrophe.
When Ireland was Irish.
The boy at 2:47 is true Dublin to me!!
What is the background music? It's beautiful!
Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata
Iam surprised they were still using horse drawn ploughs as recent as the 60's in Ireland
my scottish mum hated Dublin! to the point i wasnt born there, just by 3weeks!! she said her in-laws were not the cleanest of people!! and she wasnt in any condition to keep cleaning their filthy house, so cuz of this she returned to Birmingham to give birth to me in a cleaner environment, her words! Even thought i love Eire!! i had to respect her wishes!!
going back to visit my rels over the years, some were spotless in their homes, some werent!!
Ya, and you bet there were filthy people in Scotland too.
@@bernieoconnell5515 if there were I've haven't met them yet!
It's not "Eire"! It is IRELAND in English. Do not ever forget that!
@@Juliukas101if u want to be pedantic, it's not Eire, it's EIREANN!!
Darth Vader in the first shot (second from the left).
Haven't been back for a few years but it was nothing like that in Dublin last time it was more like London I guess it's progress but sad to lose the old Irish rich history they were such a part of British history
Progress isn't all its cracked up to be.
Was Batman from Belfast !? 🤔😳
Ah, Ireland 🇮🇪 for the Irish.
Is it too late for you to add captions to many of the photos - don't worry so much about the pub scenes, but the others would benefit
The pub scenes are by far the best, at least the men are smiling. The women are unable to smile in most of the pictures.
@@ggg-eg5pz They had little to smile about. The men didn't have much more - indeed it's hard to think what more they had apart from their wives.
@@doubledee9675 they had a strong Catholic faith that you don't see today.
@@ggg-eg5pz Indeed, that strong faith laster longer in Ireland than any other country that I can think of (save, of course, the Vatican). It had gone here in Australia by the early 60's.
@@doubledee9675 don’t go to chapel out of faith, more of expectation…..catholic faith gives sinners to many ways out, ira men used to go out and murder then say sorry and the church forgave them… hypocrites.
Religion and poverty go hand in hand....as does ignorance and being led like a blind, mindless fool.
I don't think the maggie girls have fond memories of the 60''s . So glad for the women of Ireland that those concentration camp catholic landromats were closed .
you have no idea what you are tlaking about
You haven't a notion about what you're talking about. You just thought I need to get likes on you tube. So sad🤦🙏
You´ve been hypnotised. It´s easier to fool someone than to convince them that they´ve been fooled. Hard times, yes! Concentration camps? In the parlance of our times, "Come on, man!"
Beautiful Photo's...But Dublin was a Very austere City Ruled by the Government, Catholic Church and the Irish Police State.
From what others have said here, it seems the fruits were low crime, a strong sense of community and national identity, sharing, and kindness. Compare and contrast with now.
@@tominrichmond And 800 babies buried in a cesspit - and the meaning of kindness is?
@@davidpayne8413 Catholicism kept Ireland poor and miserable. Despite all the Romance most Irish were more prosperous out of their thrall!
It is not getting out of pov2ety but the ability in wealth to be human q normal person. Wealth is access to water that allows full digestion of all your foods.
Some of the nuns were very very cruel to young girls
0:58 = Penny for the BB'S. The gaff was blown on the penguins years later...
Well'l as i remember the vastly overated 60's people were not more friendly or happier at all there some people have rose tinted memories here it seems. rubbish decade!!!

Before the godless baby killers we have today
You´re a man after my own heart. And our likes will never be seen again!
@@johndanielharold3633 plenty of us young people feel this way too
800 Babies buried in a cesspit
Not sure it's all 1960's
I don't think the paper "News of the World" was in Ireland in the 1960's, thought it was late 1970's
I don't think females wore pants in Ireland in the 1960's, thought it was early 1970's
But I could be wrong?
At 1:54, jaysus lads, we were quare ugly back in the day!
That's what religion does to you
Religion makes you ugly well that's a new one, so what made you ugly
why the miserable piano?
Philistine
Why the funeral march music? Talk about depressing!
Beethoven isnt depressing... Happywhateveryourdoing.... 🌷
I loved the music .
its not a march. and it is not funeral music and it is not a funeral march. Educate yourself you big oik
Music is beautiful...Beethoven
It's the first movement to Beethoven's famous "Moonlight" sonata -- not a funeral march.
The poor and desperate were living in squalor, victimised and living in fear, preyed upon by the Roman Catholic Church!

A very one sided attitude
@@VectorTracker There can be no middle of the road attitude with the deluded and ill informed who would and do impose their dark age ‘values’ on others! Christianity (not to mention the ‘religion of peace’) has brought untold horror to this world!
Pope John Paul II apologised for;
The Crusades, the inquisitions, the complicity of the church in the Holocaust, genocide in Africa which was aggregated and encouraged by Bishops of the Catholic Church plus sins committed against Jews, heretics, atheists, the dignity of women, Gypsies, CHILDREN and native peoples. In 2000 the Pope apologised for these ‘sins’ plus 2000 years of hate, murder, and persecution!
Where in theses obscene, inhuman, despicable acts do you sense the guiding presence of a loving and merciful god???
@@venenareligioest410 so apologies mean nothing? seems to me there is no forgiveness with you ... that's a sad thing
@@VectorTracker Hollow ‘sorrys’ cost and mean nothing, religious dogma cost millions of lives, the obscene concept of purgatory caused hurt and heartbreak beyond human comprehension to mothers who’s child had died unbaptised, only to be casually dropped by the Roman Catholics centuries later. These verminous religions have caused incalculable suffering and endless cruelty! And they dare to trade in the name of some ‘merciful god’!

Not nearly enough religion.
