    A worthy tribute to the men who built Britain's canals, railways, motorways and much else.

    I lived in Cricklewood 67 years
    Cricklewood has never been the same since the Irish people have left
    It will never be the same the Crown pub the windmill The castle Galtymore Nellie's Biddy Mulligan The Rifle Black Lion
    They were great times
    Bless every one of you
    And thank you for building this country an making it a wonderful place to live
    Cricklewood is a ghost town now

      Thanks for your kind words pal.I grew up on stories of The Crown in Cricklewood etc...Nice to hear the sacrifices the older Irish generations made was appreciated by the locals.

      Was in Cricklewood for the ABCs with Ulster GAA last September. Had to make sure to have a pint in the crown. Went to lucky 7s round the corner as well.

    This is possibly the classic song about the Irish experience in England. And just listen to the way that Ronnie Drew delivers it. Someone who could recognise the talent of Luke Kelly, and let him take front and centre in the group which was originally called The Ronnie Drew Quartet (and guess who suggested the name 'The Dubliners'?) but who in their own right was equally incomparable in their own way. Just watch Ronnie with an audience.
