What fine-looking horses, hard working men lovely handmade carts full of the best fruit and vegetables that you can get in any town, the sellers and buyers all with cherry voices, quick smiles and always Thank You

My dad, a grower, used to bring vegs up to Dublin market. He loved the Moore Street vendors. He'd come home with fruit and fish, special fish you couldn't buy locally. Or sometimes he'd come home with LPs of his favourite classical music, a suit for himself and a fur coat for mam. We used to look forward to him coming home from Dublin market with goodies.

Was 20 then and living in Dublin. Didn’t shop in Moore street much as out of the way of where I lived. And fruit? Students didn’t eat fruit. I spent all me money on whiskey and beer and books and cigarettes and the occasional groovy outfit and going to plays and gigs and pizzas and chips and toast. No idea how I was so skinny then tbh. We did buy coal during 82-84 when I lived in a shared house in the north side but it was a fuckin nightmare getting it home as none of us had a car. Briquettes on the bus.

Remember it well. Even in the early 90’s it was great.

A glimpse of life in 'Old Dublin', part of its former character. Now a neo-Continental metropolis, but that is so-called progress. Thanks for sharing this with us

Tell ye that's the Dublin I grew up in... long gone sadly .... n gladly in some ways ... Dealer..."Apples 5 for 50 Customer..."il take 5 please, here wait theres only 4 here" Dealer..." one was gone off so I threw it out for ye" 😂😂

The 'Professional Dubliner' accent so beloved of RTE producers. It was never enough for them to use an actor with a normal Dublin accent, they always had to get in some old ham to camp the whole thing up..AH ME JEWHEL AN DARDELIN VEHG-EHH-TEBB-ELLS

This was before large supermarkets and globalization took hold! You couldn't sell fruit and veg or coal like that today!

My father drove a horse and cart for cie throes poor horses had a hard life

I remember horse and cart on the roads in Tipperary in the 70s and early 80s I was only kid. My grandfather lived outside Templemore Tipperary and had a small farm. He delivered churns of milk to the creamery and brought home trams of hay in it and took his family to Mass in it. He never drove a car. I fell off the fecking thing one time and tore the knees of myself and it moving. Times were a lot simpler then compared to now. Society has got rougher.

Great footage, but im not so sure about the date? 1983? Looks more like the late 70's? high waist baggie trousers, big collared shirts, trench coats and some of the hairstyles. Looks very 70's to me. Great to watch though..

I was born in 82 this looks alot older more like 70's

Mushirewims is in dem boksis.

Good times. Good memories. Times of progress and optimism for the future. Today, unfortunately, we are unable to inspire our children for the future, because evil has a tight grip on the neck of humanity.

Whatever has happened to such an iconic street? Obviously things change ,but the heart of Dublin is gone

Look at the cars too - no early '80s models in sight. You're right, this is late-70s era.

wow i used to live in the flats at york st where he gave the guy the stone of coal

reminds me of the barras market in Glasgow. great time.

I was 7 in 1983 my last name is Farmer it comes from the term tax collector that got rich on their own right, its an Irish/English surname.🙂☘️

No way is that 1983 - mid to late 70's tops.

great video

Anyone remember a guy that worked in the fruit market near fannings in 1983-84,he had a big head of curly black long hair,a black leather jacket and crucially,a black jumper with "heavy metal" knitted into it in white,its an odd one but l always thought he looked cool and would have loved a jumper like that. :)

At halloween a you could buy a pack of bangers on Moore street with only 8 in the box instead of 10 all for a pound.De rare ould times Mr brennan.

In Dublin the forbidden fruit is fruit.

I think horses might be back on the streets the way things are going. That looks more like the late to mid 70's to me.

Thanks for the memories!!

Just spotted S Cousins and Sons Butchers at No 6 I had been in there a couple of times in the 60's. Related distantly.

home sweet only a baby then but after walk home from school through that market and coal man to my nanny right in front of me. ah there times no one can beat. a real child hood where money had nothing to do with it.

Can remember coal deliveries coming by horse and cart in the seventies, did not know it was still going on in the eighties.

Yid be on Henry Street and someone would shout, 'Get the last of de wrappin paper" and you would look up and see loads of kids with wrapping paper.

I knew all these wee women, they all got together in a pub called The Bolton Horse, they parked the buggies outside.

Definity 70 look at trouser flares...

The rare auld time are gone😢.

I'd say it was great those days, not a foreigner in sight

Dublin vs Galway 83 WOO!!

Our dublin now gone 😢🇮🇪

3.40 did she ever find Owen.

I think this might be '73, not '83

No sign of Bono or the Edge?! LOL

A lot of comments point out that this video must be from the 70s based on fashion, hairstyle and cars. That's not a clear indicator. Not saying the video is definitely from the 80s, but based on fashion alone we can't be sure, because what people forget, is that Ireland has been known to lag years behind in those areas due to heavy political conservatives being in charge, not wanting to "mingle" with the rest of Europe until the mid 80s. Ireland was very closed off in terms of economics and social progression, leading to many trends being adapted years later, such as fashion, hairstyle and technology (cars). My own parents (from Malahide), never even heard of Pizza or spaghetti until they visited mainland Europe in the 70s. That's how closed off the Irish society was. It was only in the mid 80s when there was a shift in political party from radical conservatives to centre-left, when Ireland opened up. Ireland went from the poorest and most conservative countries in western Europe in the 80s, to now one of the most progressive countries in Europe. Still, a lot needs fixing, but when considering how behind Ireland was in the 80s and then it all changed in the 90s... well done.

That’s Terry cole selling the coal I remember Terry fondly.

Where's Yarko Jennings and Tooshay Maher..happy days..

ah here, leave it out

that the late 60s early 70s. not the 80s

Blessed days compared to now..multiculturalism me Bollix!!!

Musharooms

The Swan Bar on the corner of York St and Auinger St across from Whitefriar St Church. Normally have a drink in there when I'm back in Dublin. Country was depressing back in those days when it was the Irish who emigrated. And now we have people who complain about immigration into Ireland. How easy we forget-go figure.
