    Beautiful. Thank you. My mum was born in1906 and my dad in 1914. County Cork for my mum and County Galway for my dad. I remember barefoot children. I remember rushing to the front window at my granny's to see a car go past. I collected water in from the well.....etc...etc... I could go on. Fine people!!! Brave and strong. 🤗

      Looks more like early 1900s to me- the women's clothing and hairstyles of the children are wrong for 1850- it's also too clear for that time.

      You can slow the playback speed: I’m watching at 0.75 of normal speed. It slows down the music too of course, so if that bothers you, you can mute the sound, but it doesn’t sound too bad.

    The post Great Hunger Mayo workhouse c. 1850 is a hard one to take if you're Irish. The men would have been forced to separate from their families as was the rule. What unimageable things these children must have witnessed, horror beyond our darkest fears.

    • @dellhell8842
      @dellhell8842 3 роки тому +1

      Yes, that one got me too. I'm from Mayo, wonder if that was the workhouse local to me in Ballinrobe. The stories out of it were terrible. The bastard landlord Lord Lucan filled it with families he viciously evicted between 1847 and 1850.

    • @jimbobjimjim6500
      @jimbobjimjim6500 3 роки тому +3

      It also breaks a myth, that were no photos taken of famine victims, during the great hunger. Although these were the "lucky ones" who got into the work house, and look reasonably well fed, although some still look half emaciated... Amazing and moving to look straight into eyes of Irish people, living 170 years ago, who witnessed first hand, the greatest catastrophe in our history.

    • @Jen-lg4hp
      @Jen-lg4hp Рік тому

      Judging by the clothes and hairstyles of the children, I'd say it's much later than 1850- more likely early 20th century.

      Yes and other parts of Dublin.
      The Big Shot FF developers destroyed the city in the 70s especially.
      As a student I remember being appalled watching them demolish a beautiful Cut-Stone building roughly opposite The Gresham.
      Then there was the the destruction of that building on the Corner south of O'Connell bridge heading for Trinity.
      They also destroyed one whole side of a Georgian Square not far away from that and many many more.
      That's the triple grand alliance: Ignorance, Corruption and Politics.

    The boy on the right in the final photo, in the GPO, is my great-uncle Robert Murphy. At 15 years of age, he was the youngest person on the inside during the PO siege; this Sunday Times article (behind a paywall, alas) describes the convoluted story that brought this photo to light. Robert's brothers Hubert (my grandfather) and Frederick were also Volunteers during the Easter Rising, stationed in the Four Courts.
