Absolutely wonderful seeing these beautiful restored photographs, thank you

The photo with the four lady's with the fish taken on the " Aran Islands " is in fact taken on the Long Walk behind the Spanish Arch in Galway. Behind them is the river Corrib and in the distance is the Claddagh. The date of the photo is around 1905 and if you log onto the Galway City Museum you will find the names of these lady's. The information about the date of the photo I accredit to the National Museum of Ireland and acknowledge the colourisation by John Breslin.

Wonderful. Half expecting to see my Irish Grandparents staring back at me, as they were youngsters around 1900, before leaving for better opportunities in the colonies. And how amazing the buildings & dress was back then, at least in the towns & cities. Even in the countryside, those picturesque small ex-thatched farmhouses reminded so much of a distant relative's one, seen when I visited about 10yrs ago.

They’re great photos! I am descended from Irish economic migrants on both sides of the family. The Hoolahans came to live in Hayfield, Derbyshire from County Waterford ,to work in the textile industry. The Fitzpatrick family migrated to Glasgow from Dublin. They worked firstly as labourers , then linesmen and eventually settled in the Perth area in textiles. I think there were linen mills? This would be about the end of the nineteenth century.

Wonderful photos! Thank you for sharing!

All those long gone amazing people, captured in time on photographs...Great channel cheers for the all the hard work in bringing these people to YT for us all to see.

I particularly liked the pictures of Belfast (I was born there). Royal Avenue hardly seems to have changed at all....

Excellent colourised photographs of the former Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland before its demise in 1922

Great photos of a time long gone and people whose lives we can only wonder about. Not long to St Patrick’s day and all across the world the Irish will honour that great British man.

Die tollen Fotos sind für mich immer auch Inspiration, da ich gelegentlich auch in diese Zeit tauche (Jugendstilfestival und Tweedride) Herrlich, hier immer wieder die Originale zu finden. Herzlichen Dank dafür.

There are plenty of heart wrenching and thought provoking scenes here. I’m so glad that I live when I do. Ireland was so poorly treated. I wonder if the Riley family who survived the torpedoing of The Lusitania did eventually go to a better life in America.

Thanks for sharing this amazing video ❤🎉

awesome pix and music ☘️erin go bragh☘️

Priceless thank you.

Obviously keen photographers in Waterford

Great see old photo of Ardglass harbour my family house in photo💚

Brilliant and so nostalgic, we,ve come a long way since 1900

Absolutely fabulous. Thank you!

Wonderful collection. Thx for sharing

Most of the Waterford photos are part of the Pool Collection in the National Library in Dublin. Thank goodness his glass plates were saved for all to enjoy.

Thanks for sharing these amazing pictures. They give us an idea of this long bygone time.

Oh wow these are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤

Moore street is still a market street with produce on the sidewalk and butchersshop. My wife's father family, the Fitzpatricks, lived nearby on Riddall's Row near the Post Office. The street disappeared after the destruction from the rising. Her father was born a few blocks away near St. George's Anglican Church. He was baptized at St. Mary's pro-Cathedral . This is where Jeremiah Donovan Rossa's funeral procession (shown in a picture)was headed for the funeral mass. It was on Montgomery Street, the boundary for the area called Monto, where the King of England (Victoria's son) and later his son supposedly had their first "experience" with the "Monto" girls. The pictures made me want to get out some of the shots her grandmother bought over and see what I can do with them.

Love the photos. But on that one they are not “knitting” wool, they are weaving. The lady on the right is carding, smoothing and straightening the wool and getting the individual fibers lined up ready to spin. The lady on the left is standing with the spinning wheel that will turn the fluffy “roving” created by the carder into thread. Two strands of thread will then be passed back through the wheel and twisted into yarn. The man in the back is at the loom and will weave the yarn into cloth. Of, course, the yarn can also be knitted , but that is not what they are doing.

Tough times and even tougher people

Thank you so much. Amazing

Very interesting photos, thank you from an ex-pat Dubliner.

Thank you for another wonderful video.

Great pics

Absolutely brilliant photos and video

Women from Aran look more like claddagh women standing in the Spanish arch with claddagh village in the back round

Thank you.

This upper class no ordinary folk

Limerick railway atation. That has not changed much.

I think I saw a relative in one of these photos. Pretty sure John Joseph Clarke

Universal people all the 1 people,Ireland was a great country

The very last photograph does not look like Ireland at all. The houses appear to be of wooden construction such as one might find in the USA.

*I think we should have seen more photos from Waterford where my paternal grandmother came from.*

See Photo @15.56 .........Best of Irish bacon ...location Devonshire square, Youghal Town, County Cork, Ireland. See Youghal Clockgate in the distance. I have black & white Collection .

Not sure about that 2nd last photo being Killiney Beach, looks nothing like the Killiney Beach I know. Great vid though.

One thing that’s striking to me is how short the men were. I don’t think there was a man there anywhere near 6ft. Most look 5-4. to 5-9 .

Would have been nice to have traditional Irish music..

Thank you, who is the music?

Womens fashions have radically changed while men would be happy walking around today

What is the name of that Irish tune anyone? the first one especially

👍❤️

When women actually wore clothing and had good manners

I cannot help but wonder … multiple thousands of people in these photographs; where are all the graves?

U should of just made the collage about wexford and waterford, ,at least 80%are there

Nice images....not sure about the music

Are you sure it's called field hockey, or is it "Hurling"?

I can correct the mistakes in your captions if you’d like?

Not one person is pulling the fish pout face into the lens.

Théy could only dream of a free ireland wonder what these folk would say of our wee island in eu mess today my heart breaks they would be turning in their graves ☘️

The wealthy people in these photographs are Protestant English colonists ,not native Catholic Irish, the penal laws against Catholics forbade us from being educated until 1882. Famine had halved the Native population in 5 years between 1847 and 1852, 40,000 British troops guarded the removal of food from the country in a genocide that led to the 1849 rebellion and the Fenian rebellion of 1867 , the resentment gave birth to a rejection of all things British , however the Famine succeeded in destroying the native Irish language. The Fenians became the IRA , who drove the British out of most areas of Ireland except areas where all Irish had been killed and replaced with Protestant Scots and English.

Irish Guards🇬🇧☘️

Is it just me, or do these people look alike in each of the pictures (except one)?

What a rough life these people lived. It’s amazing how much has changed in 200 years! Boy am I grateful I live in this century. These people don’t look happy. Very interesting to see back in time.

No plastics, no obesity, a hell of a lot of poverty though.

No Photos of 1847 during the genocide I notice.

You're not Ireland anymore. So keep those photos

Super images but too many of Waterford…no offence meant

Where are all the redheads?

Mustaches seem to have been almost mandatory for men. : )

mostly british protestants

A disproportionate amount of photos from Waterford ruined the experience.

nice ok but not one photo of our rich christian heritage not even a procession

I bet you not one was Irish 😮

Barbrakelly those people are still not happy Ireland is a shit hole of a country bad weather and inflation Ann Murphy Ireland 😅

Largely a Waterford /Dublin collection only without adequate explanatory and contextual information. Nothing from the densely populated midlands agricultural heartland
