Footage of Ennis and surrounding areas during the 1950s. Among the areas featured in the British Pathe footage are Turnpike, Abbey Street and The Old Ground Hotel.
My father was born and raised in Ennis. I always loved the accent from the West Coast of Ireland as it is soft and lilting. Although he moved to England for work spending the rest of his life in London, he viewed life from the perspective of his roots in Ireland and was a gentle soul.
I thought this was long before the 1950s, so quaint, but probably very uncomfortable in those cottages, with old facilities. nice to look at but would of been a hard life

the Old Ground has not changed much. This looks more like the 40ies.
Absolutely wonderful.

No means no to irish no means no.

Such happy times when people trusted each other and all one culture
