truly Paradise Lost

That was the mid fifties, I worked in town in sixties and seventies, there are no mini or maxi skirts in that picture

Dublin in the 60's not the 70's!

The day's before intolerance.

This is early 60s. Nelson's pillar etc

What's the music please?

A couple of Peugeot 404 and a VW with an egg-shaped rear window plus VW vans with split windows 1960's

What an incredibly delightfully dull and boring city

This footage is not from the 1970s but earlier. The cars and fashions look from the 1960s and earlier. The colour of the buses in the 1970s were top half cream and bottom half navy blue.

Memories that will last forever 😊

1:39 "Fashion Hoes" Us Dubliners did things in style!

Its more like the 50s or early 60s. The pillar is still there. It was blown up in 1966

That's Dublin in the 60s 👍 ..... not the 1970s

And now the country has been sold to the globalist elites in the European union . By the self serving , traitor politicians . Beautiful Ireland is no more .

2:16 that's Nelsons Pillar (the one behind O'Connell's statue) which exploded in 1966 correct? So maybe the photos are from before or 1966?

At 2.23 Nelson’Pillar is visible. It was destroyed in March 1966, so the video was taken prior to that point and not in the 70’s.

None of those pics are from the 70's though most from the 60's and a few even from the late 50's perhaps.

Hello there, Just seeing this in 2024...Sorry butI think you got your Date's wrong...I grew up in 1970's Dublin and all the Bus'es were Coulour's Cream and Black with CIE on the side's. Also all of the Motor Car's and Lorrie's Looked to be from the 1950/60's too. Nice to see all the same...can't help wonder if any of my Late Realative's might have been in this footage somewhere. Hope you and your's are keeping well in June 2024. Sorry...I nearly forgot to mention Two way Traffic on the North Side of the River...Best Wishe's.

Sorry; but these are not the 1970s

2:14. Nelson's Pillar, which was blown up in March 1966. The pictures are lovely, but it's not the 70's.

These images are not from the 70s (I know, I was living in Dublin then).

Thats the 60s, doesn't look like 70s

More like Dublin in the late 1960s Nelson's pillar was blown up in 1966.

They let all the blacks and the foriners in that was the worst thing ever

I'm glad I never really experienced the grimness and emigration of Ireland back in the days, but it definitely felt like people dressed better back then

1960's. No green buses in the 70's.

From that To the toilet ireland is today.

I'd love to know what the background music is .....

This is not Dublin in the 1970s, its footage from the 1960s, main giveaway is Nelsons Pillar that was destroyed in 1966, great pictures anyway

Obviously this is not Dublin in the 70s as the clip claims. Most of the images are from the late 1950s or early 1960s. For instance the image at 2:21 shows Nelson's Pillar, which was demolished in 1966, sometime before the 70s.

Beautiful pictures of Dublin in the 60"s 'cause the Nelson's Pillar is still there....

This is not the 70s in Dublin. Nelson’s Pillar was blown up in the 60s and it’s here in this video.

Early 1960s, not 70s.............

This is from the 60's, I don't think even one photo is from the 70's, fabulous upload nonetheless.

Will they ever clean the Liffey walls?

Is that not the 1960’s ????

Just looking at all those old pics brings back fond memories. Diversity has destroyed the Dublin character. The city is unrecognizable now. Makes me feel like I want to cry. 😢

How quickly we forget - the squealing buses, belching fumes, horse poop in the street. 10 minutes from any of the locations here would have brought you to streets of tenement slums. The black soot stains on the Bank of Ireland (House of Commons) due to coal polluted air; universities where only the rich could go. Shops in Grafton street I could never afford to got into. Glad it's all gone!

This is good and all but Nelson's Pillar was blown up in March 1966 and the vehicles and fashion show that this is not 1970's Dublin.

Steve is a cop calling douchebag

This was amazing, do you have any more videos

wonderful for an old dub nelsons pillar in alot of shots so its 1966 or earlier brilliant

The title is quite misleading, it's not the 1970s. Most of the photos are between 1959-1962, judging by the bus livery and vehicle registrations. They might even have been taken on the same day.

Can’t be the 70s as the people and cars are much earlier. Also Nelson’s pillar was blown up in 66

Dublin is still magnificent And Ireland is in the top 3 richest countries in the world PROGRESS All down to our education…go UCD

Wish I could be there 💚💚💚😁

I watched this and realized as it finished that my face was wet and I felt deeply homesick for the Dublin I grew up in. A line from Easter 1916 came to mind "all changed changed utterly " as the last time I visited, the city had declined and the once lovely O'Connell st was a seedy, dirty mess, all the charm gone, sad. In spite of which, it will always be home and the place that my soul sighs for☘☘

Oh dear God, THANK YOU..,I wish you could have gone on forever...

I visited Dublin in the 11/22. Such a wonderful experience! There are few things in this video that I can recognize, ahaha. Wonderful.
