Imagine 4:47 is Cladagh, Galway City. Not Aran islands
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.
Was just going to say:)
Good man , well spotted for accuracy, great photo
The Four Ladies Photo on the “Aran Islands”was taken not BEHIND the Spanish Arch but BEFORE you go through it to the Long Walk( a Galwegian)
I’ve a group portrait of the Faulkner Family( Castlebar) taken at the Grove, 1886. Anyone interested?
Absolutely wonderful seeing these beautiful restored photographs, thank you
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
Wonderful photos! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for your kind comment !
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.
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.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
I particularly liked the pictures of Belfast (I was born there). Royal Avenue hardly seems to have changed at all....
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.
The ship departed from New York on May 1, 1915, on its way to Liverpool. So the Rileys must have already been in the USA.
Agreed. And the family 'of three generation' evicted living under a tent.
Hard to look at these photos tbh.
Thanks for sharing this amazing video ❤🎉
Thank you for your comment
Great see old photo of Ardglass harbour my family house in photo💚
Obviously keen photographers in Waterford
We still are 😅😂 🇮🇪
Mostly thanks to A.H. Poole. His collection is something to behold and wonderful to see them colourised like this.
I think it's the Annie Brophy collection
Just a very lazy video.
Brilliant and so nostalgic, we,ve come a long way since 1900
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.
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.
Vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar
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.
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.
Looks as if they are in some sort of tent and all the equipment seems unnaturally gathered together as if for show. Some sort of exhibition set up?
Thank you for another wonderful video.
Wonderful collection. Thx 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.
Poor street is ruined
My parents, God rest them, were married in the Pro-Cathedral. I always wondered how it got its name.
King of Great Britain and Ireland.
Oh wow these are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤
Thank you, I sincerely appreciate it
Women from Aran look more like claddagh women standing in the Spanish arch with claddagh village in the back round
They are.
Thanks for sharing these amazing pictures. They give us an idea of this long bygone time.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
Absolutely fabulous. Thank you!
Thank you very much, I sincerely appreciate it.
Priceless thank you.
Thank you so much, I sincerely appreciate it.
awesome pix and music ☘️erin go bragh☘️
Thank you very much !
Excellent colourised photographs of the former Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland before its demise in 1922
Thank you so much. Amazing
I sincerely appreciate it.
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.
Great pics
Thanks
This upper class no ordinary folk
General rule of thumb for the day, Protestants rich, Catholics poor
@@taragorm8097Not anymore
Absolutely brilliant photos and video
Thank you so much !
Tough times and even tougher people
Limerick railway atation. That has not changed much.
Very interesting photos, thank you from an ex-pat Dubliner.
I appreciate your kind comment
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.
Thank you.
😊👍
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 .
Yes, some of the locations are a bit off. But at least Youghal is in County Cork.
*I think we should have seen more photos from Waterford where my paternal grandmother came from.*
No plastics, no obesity, a hell of a lot of poverty though.
Poverty was everywhere. Wasn’t exclusive to Ireland
@@lasakau272 No it wasn't, but there was a hell of a lot more than any of our neighbours, hence the mass migrations.
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 .
That was average back then, as we learn more about nutrition, health and exercise we grow taller and live longer that is evolution on a small scale.
@@rudithedog7534
So interesting .. Yes it makes sense just never thought about it before that way !
My Irish grandfather was a child in the Edwardian era and never grew taller than 5-6, I believe, and he came from a relatively middle-class background. The malnutrition of those days was phenomenal.
Thank you, who is the music?
I think I saw a relative in one of these photos. Pretty sure John Joseph Clarke
Not sure about that 2nd last photo being Killiney Beach, looks nothing like the Killiney Beach I know. Great vid though.
What is the name of that Irish tune anyone? the first one especially
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.
There were plenty of well off, well connected catholic families.
Of course…someone has a chip on their shoulder….
Thats what we were told, but what happened to the Tartarians? What was the USA really like before 1700? There is a lot that we were told that is beyond lies, including what really happened around the "famine" Irish natives were well able to grow food before the potato ever came along.The ordinary people in England/Scotland and Wales, were managed by the same elites who run the banking system/big corporations and all world governments today. The movement of people in Europe under a masonic legal/judicial and governmental system, is not what the history books tell us. Who was the first US president, Washington? really, think again. We were born into a lie world.
@@angeladennis2879speaking truths tbf.
Universal people all the 1 people,Ireland was a great country
👍❤️
👍
Would have been nice to have traditional Irish music..
I agree.
I can correct the mistakes in your captions if you’d like?
U should of just made the collage about wexford and waterford, ,at least 80%are there
Nice images....not sure about the music
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.
I agree, I’d rather live now.
However, at the time, it was not the custom to smile for photographs. Unsmiling did not = unhappy.
And when you see people smiling hugely for photographs or on film these days, many are desperately miserable.
@@Peter-nk3yq When these pictures were taken people had to hold perfectly still for several minutes for these old cameras. Hard to keep a fake smile that long! And yes, desperately miserable is all too common on this Earth School planet.
They probably thought they were living in the greatest empire in the world - the British empire. They were not smiling as exposure times were a few seconds and nobody wants to hold a smile for that long !.
We Irish never thought the British empire was great
Look again. The social class mainly represented in these photos @@deirdrenugent1887 actually did.
I cannot help but wonder … multiple thousands of people in these photographs; where are all the graves?
In graveyards , it’s surprising. Cemeteries hold thousands .The Cemetery where some of my family are buried started in approximately 1880s isn’t very big but there’s over 200k burials.
Are you sure it's called field hockey, or is it "Hurling"?
It is Shinty
When you're holding hockey sticks, what else is it called?
West Brit ladies would play hockey.
The inscription at the bottom of the original says “Field hockey players“. So I guess that unless anyone has a time machine we’re just going to have to accept that description.
Vintage hockey sticks were that shape.
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 ☘️
They weren’t dreaming of a free Ireland. Most of them were unionists if you learned any history
They were wanting their sovereignty because unionism perpetuated continuous repression of development. The Irish are Catholic and share nothing in common culturally with the English in that time period. Today is another story altogether.
Ruined by selling their souls to the devil for the long awaited prosperity only to lose that sovereignty to the globalist overlords of the transnational economy.
When women actually wore clothing and had good manners
Guess you haven't noticed that most men nowadays look like a dog's dinner and often have obnoxious manners.
Irish Guards🇬🇧☘️
Womens fashions have radically changed while men would be happy walking around today
No Photos of 1847 during the genocide I notice.
Is it just me, or do these people look alike in each of the pictures (except one)?
They all look different to me .
Its just you..
Mustaches seem to have been almost mandatory for men. : )
Super images but too many of Waterford…no offence meant
You're not Ireland anymore.
So keep those photos
The Empire was a criminal cabal, you Brits soon wont have a pot to piss in. thanks to brexit Enoch.
mostly british protestants
nice ok but not one photo of our rich christian heritage not even a procession
A disproportionate amount of photos from Waterford ruined the experience.
I bet you not one was Irish 😮
Why would you say that?
Look again sunshine, they're all Irish. Good lad.
Irish and West Brits.
@@MacToirdealbhaighGiven your name, you’re most likely being sarcastic: the West Brit label would have been an anachronism if applied to the period in question.
@@frankathl1 In that period it would be "Seoinín".
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
But fascinating all the same!
