Kilkenny In Pictures (old and not so old).

2 жыл бұрын

Excellent opportunity to look back at 1970's Kilkenny. Previously uploaded by Conan Doyle on another site some years back. It is well worth a look and should evoke memories if this formed part of your era.

I remember it well and watching the discharge floating by while fishing for eels on the Quay.

Some Garda there, keeping the whole town moving freely whist turning a blind eye to about 20 offences.

Brilliant stuff, I love looking back at old times to see how things have changed. Great to see all the old cars. We had a Renault 4 at about that time in the late 70s. It brings back good memories.

Glad you enjoyed it John, the 4's were a dependable workhorse, comfort not included if I remember right.

Thank you Frank, I'm glad it resonated with you and evoked memories. It was also very vivid for myself.

Good to know you enjoyed it, I think this footage is real to so many of us for that very same reason that we could almost expect ourselves to be in it.

My dad had a 127 also green one , was looking out for it too. That's a good one ....

I really enjoyed this old footage from 1978, brought back many happy memories, the amount of Fiat cars on the road that time was amazing.Laharts were selling alot of Fiats in the 70s and 80s.

@kilkennyinpictures 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for taking the time to watch and I'm glad it evoked good memories, it is great footage. Laharts central location on The Parade probably helped sales a bit (second video on The Parade).

@johnflavin1602 2 жыл бұрын

Wow, Laharts were even around back then!

@kilkennyinpictures 2 жыл бұрын

The thumbnail for my second video on The Parade shows Laharts in 1970. Not sure when they started but I think they were there a good few years before that.

The most thing the strikes me watching these is the amount of little businesses. Either Privately or family owned all of them. Look around your own town now, tell me I'm wrong. Ireland was teaming with Renault 4's as well lol!!

@kilkennyinpictures 2 жыл бұрын

You are not wrong, those family businesses were the life-blood of towns. Vacancy rates these days are shocking high.

Love the old cars , they had style about them.

They did indeed, what I liked most about this video is that I remember the traffic just as it is shown, chaotic and with little regard for anyone else. Love the Morris Minor just waiting on the yellow lines in the center of The Parade at 3.36. A gem of a video.

Would you have any pictures of the river before the flood walls were built

@kilkennyinpictures Жыл бұрын

There are a number of videos on the channel that could be of use here. There is one on Greensbridge that covers that area of the river, two on the Canal Walk that would have images from the bridge down, two on the Johns Bridges themselves that cover that area. There is a play list - Around Johns Bridge and one of the videos is this which might be of use; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/et57o5pl1LHQl40.html
