Dublin was always a cool hub for those who knew where to go! This looks more 1960`s than 1970`s judging by the cars and old green double decker buses. But the big clue that shows this was recorded before 1966 is Nelson`s Pillar, blown up in 1966.
How wonderful Dublin was back then, yes we had our issues but just look at the people. It was brimming with character and colour. Time moves on, but not always for the best; I really miss my Dublin xxx
I was born in 79, now 42 years old. My best memories from my childhood was a day trip to Dublin on the train from Wexford. Used to love the characters in Moore Street. We used to have great chats an buy our fruit supplies for the train home. It has all changed now. Very, very sad to see the stalls lying idle. The heartbeat has gone.
I did a nostalgic walk around Dublin today - something I haven't done in a long time - revisiting all of my favourite spots from the '60's - most now unrecognisable. The stark realisation struck home that Dublin is no longer my Dublin and never will be again. I had a look at CZcams this evening for old footage and found this wonderful nostalgic compilation - mere moments in time. With Maestro Morricone's haunting music in the background this video would bring a tear to the eye of any old Dubliners. It did mine. Thanks for uploading it.
These fantastic photos were taken by an American visitor to my beloved Dublin in 1961. The haunting music, as someone below has suggested is by Ennio Morricone from the movie "Once upon a time in America". Gorgeous. I'm in my 60s now and I still live every inch of the city and that wonderful movie and its music. Enjoy, my friends.
Thank you for putting my head straight. Those shots seemed older than the 70's. I moved to Dublin alone from Cork aged 17 in early 1977. I've been in London since 87 (also now an absolutely horrendous place, especially with no money). I didn't remember those green buses, just the cream ones, and the cars, clothing - and buildings / signs looked way too old. 1961 would be my guess of the very earliest year those could have been. A lot of cycles funnily, but ridden sensibly and on roadways. Being a pedestrian is virtually suicidal here. I digress. Thanks again 🙃
The timescale can be determined by studying the vehicle registration plates (where it's possible) and the dates that the registrations were issued: that'll tell you that that a particular image can't be "earlier than" a certain month/year.
Great pictures of days past which at the time i always thought would last' yet it was not to be just like me the changes Came ' nothing stays the same ' young people today just like i was dont notice what they have' years from now they to will Be remembering Dublin in 2021 with great fondness n love thats how it goes if only i could jump back into these images Of my past and remain there forevermore ' like the movie Back to the future lets go back in time ⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚
They were more careful in the past to preserve the culture and buildings...politicians I mean. It's them that are allowing all thes rapid changes to our environment now...greed!
Its nice to look back and reminisce at old times but change is part of life. I once dreamt I was back in my home town in the 60's (Tralee). It was so vivid - all the old cars and smells and all the old streets. It made me wake up as I got too excited - pity.
So beautiful 😍. Great memories. Wish we were back there.Our country is just not the same.Always think of my Dad and all my relatives who have passed 😢 on They wouldn't recognise Dublin today.Weve truly lost our identity. Thank for the memories.
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☘☘
The beautiful music of Mariconi adds to this great video and I'm 77 and remember every scene of my Dublin in the rare old times ,what a great city we had then and compare it then to now
I left the west of Ireland went to Dublin in 1965 this city was very good to me for 23 years i then headed back west again, I still visit this City of my youth every year but now retired to Spain
Was only telling a few young guys lately about the buses going down Grafton Street years ago, the looks I got. A much simpler life back then, tough times too like in all eras.
Dublin my ancestral home❤, full of great memories for me growing up in a great city with wonderful sites and sound's alsocraic and banter still missing it.
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.
I remember being in Dublin in the 1960's. I also remember clearly masses of large tv aerials on really long high poles to get reception of UK tv from Northern Ireland and across the Irish Sea from Wales. It definitely spoilt the look of the city and it's buildings.
WoW - It's an amazing sight to see all the cyclists wearing normal clothes! At the time I was young and couldn't afford a car back in the 1990's, I wore normal clothes while cycling - thanks to the modern day arrogance of the cycling campaigns and MAMILs, you wouldn't catch me dead on a bike these days - thank God I can walk a fair distance!
God be with the days (1950's) when my late mothers younger brother (now also deceased) used to drive me from Leitrim to Dublin ( during the summer holidays) in his job as a delivery driver. It was there (on the North Circular) that I first learned to love Dublin... As I do to this day!
My my, it was like heaven, godlike. Why can't we have those great neon signs up again?, instead of putting too much emphasis on christmas to be the time when it looks good. I love being a Dub, but the city doesn't look half as good as it used to, and that gobshite Frank Feely is party to blame with his stupid thick headed demolishion campaign mostly in the 70s -- what a dope. I get emotional about Dublin, all the great people and characters over the years, i love it so much.
The reality though was that on calm days the Liffey stank like hell. It was my first impression of Dublin when I first visited as part of a school tour in the 70's
I learned to swim in the Liffey. Saw my first couple of dead bodies there (floating!) One day when I got out after a swim across to the Custom's House from City Quay side, I noticed all my fair body-hair had turned black!!! Ugh! That was my last time for swimming in the Liffey! :))
Mm the old rhyme was the River Liffey and when the tide was out, it was the River Sniffey..! But actually the cause was the Camac river that flowed upstream of Ath Cliath into the Liffey. That was then dealt with..
I love the bloke at 2:30 on the motorbike with the cowboy stetson! (yes I know it is the shoulder of the bloke behind, but he has no helmet at all, at all! ) :-)
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.
Those old green buses looked great. By the 70s they changed the colour to dark blue and cream. They also introduced the modern ones with automatic doors. More comfortable but souless. In the 1970s the old buses were parked in phibsboro, and my school friend used to smash their windows for fun. They scrapped them all. Pity.
I awoke out of a coma in a Dublin Hpspital, I was 14. I am Irish and as Dublin as you can get. The first face I saw was that of a Black man and he was the first Black person I ever met. His big smile and beautiful brown eyes welcomed me back. I thought I was in heaven and this doctor was an angle. He sure looked liked one.
The thing I remember from the early 60s was going back and see how many lads had motor scooters and mopeds with their girlfriends riding the pillion seat sidesaddle! It just wasn't ladylike back then for girls to sit astride.
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.
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
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.
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!
We didn't know what we had and now it's gone....Ireland is lost to the Irish.... a minority in our own country. Depressing city centre now- I avoid it when I can.
To be fair, not a whole lot has changed bar the docklands and a bit of pedestrianisation. Large cities change and develop, we just have to make sure the development is whats best for the people who live there
a BIT of pedestrianisation?...re-watch the video and look at the cars parked on O'Connell Street, let alone the mayhem of traffic outside Trinity on College Green, while cars and vespas are parked on Dame Street...O'Connell bridge alone looks like it had 5 lanes of uncoordinated traffic. Grafton street is unrecognisable now too...It will soon be impossible to park any where near the City Centre...DCC planners are slowly pushing all traffic out. Great if you're a pedestrian, terrible if you're a business that needs supplies and services delivered. Fun fact...O'Connell bridge is the only bridge in Europe that is wider than it is long.
Or if you are working from a van, there should be some sort of parking difference for trades people. And ironically all the loading bays are now being parked in by people who can’t find parking 😂 Also there are enough disabled spots around the capital than disabled people need I’d imagine. One of Dublins many problems.
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. 😢
It was a literal crumbling ruin in the 70s and 80s but according to you things are worse now because we have "diversity?" Bollocks. It's people like you that are the problem in this country.
Early 60s too. CIE buses were green up until the end of the 1960s. Around 1967/68. they changed their colours to cream and blue. Some of the pictures show buses in the later colours.
Unless you were gay, foreign, a married woman who didn't feel like sex , an unmarried woman who got pregnant, wanted to be educated without religon, a child who had been abused, a battered wife .... the list goes on !!
Don't take what I am saying in the wrong way but back then th ings were alot different, there were no non irish or homeless people, things have changed over the years alot
Dublin was always a cool hub for those who knew where to go! This looks more 1960`s than 1970`s judging by the cars and old green double decker buses. But the big clue that shows this was recorded before 1966 is Nelson`s Pillar, blown up in 1966.
Oh dear God, THANK YOU..,I wish you could have gone on forever...
Yes it's very sad the way Dublin has fallen...and the rest of Ireland.
How wonderful Dublin was back then, yes we had our issues but just look at the people. It was brimming with character and colour. Time moves on, but not always for the best; I really miss my Dublin xxx

Look how clean the streets are and people still cared about there aperrance
Lovely. Sad Too..

All has changed, and changed utterly.
Time and tide wait for no man.
@@smhorse a horrible ugliness, has been born..."
Ah ye see that's what they call progress! (sarcasm)
heartbreaking in a way but my city is more important than my heart
Left Dublin 1967 it’s sad looking at this film
These fantastic photos were taken by an American visitor to my beloved Dublin in 1961. The haunting music, as someone below has suggested is by Ennio Morricone from the movie "Once upon a time in America". Gorgeous.

Came ' nothing stays the same ' young people today just like i was dont notice what they have' years from now they to will
Be remembering Dublin in 2021 with great fondness n love thats how it goes if only i could jump back into these images
Of my past and remain there forevermore ' like the movie Back to the future lets go back in time ⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚⌚
They were more careful in the past to preserve the culture and buildings...politicians I mean. It's them that are allowing all thes rapid changes to our environment now...greed!
Its nice to look back and reminisce at old times but change is part of life. I once dreamt I was back in my home town in the 60's (Tralee). It was so vivid - all the old cars and smells and all the old streets. It made me wake up as I got too excited - pity.
Once upon a time in Dublin!!
They were not good days when poor horses had to work.
This was before my time but people did dress alot better back then. Also looks way better in shape overall.
So beautiful 😍. Great memories. Wish we were back there.Our country is just not the same.Always think of my Dad and all my relatives who have passed 😢 on They wouldn't recognise Dublin today.Weve truly lost our identity. Thank for the memories.

One could say the same about every old city around the world. Cities change all the time, not always for the better unfortunatley
City of my youth. I left 34 years ago like a lot of my pals.
me too
I left the west of Ireland went to Dublin in 1965 this city was very good to me for 23 years i then headed back west again, I still visit this City of my youth every year but now retired to Spain
@@Doontrusk just like my brother he in Spain 3 years now but there’s no place like home
Me too. But it's 41 years for me. Great vid but I felt it was more the 50's...
Don't bother coming back.
Lovely compilation! Takes me back... Thanks!
Amazing quality pictures. Thanks for uploading.
Love this clip. The music from Once upon a time in America makes it full of sentiment. Lovely.
Yes! I was wondering IF it was the same music. Thanks for confirming it; so excellent for reminiscing!
Was only telling a few young guys lately about the buses going down Grafton Street years ago, the looks I got. A much simpler life back then, tough times too like in all eras.
Dublin my ancestral home❤, full of great memories for me growing up in a great city with wonderful sites and sound's alsocraic and banter still missing it.
I miss Dublin I've been away so long but it's in my blood all my family are there
I visited Dublin in the 11/22.
Such a wonderful experience!
There are few things in this video that I can recognize, ahaha.
Wonderful.
Beautiful pictures of Dublin in the 60"s 'cause the Nelson's Pillar is still there....
wonderful for an old dub nelsons pillar in alot of shots so its 1966 or earlier brilliant
Memories that will last forever 😊
Perfect music to go with this lovely vid.
It's early 60s ,at 2.16 the pillar still standing.
Yep
I love Dublin history and seeing it as it was, to think that was over 50years ago
Yes, it was blown up in 1966, the 50th anniversary of the Easter Rising.
That's correct ; before 1966, the year of its destruction...
Loved your video
Fantastic, brilliant choice of music, Morricone, I think.
This is a wonderful video - Inlets has captured the feeling of sentimentality and love for Dublin beautifully here 😃❤️ I’ve just subscribed
These photos taken in 1961 by A visiting Canadian tourist He stayed at the shelbourne hotel
Wish I could be there 💚💚💚😁

Ennio Morricone❤️
Looks more like a mixture of late '50's and early '60's pics.
Mostly very early 60s.
Some cars with 1961 and 1962 registrations.
Great photos and great music 🎶.. Think the music is from the movie.. Once upon a time in America 🇺🇸
Maybe wrong!! 😜
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
WoW - It's an amazing sight to see all the cyclists wearing normal clothes! At the time I was young and couldn't afford a car back in the 1990's, I wore normal clothes while cycling - thanks to the modern day arrogance of the cycling campaigns and MAMILs, you wouldn't catch me dead on a bike these days - thank God I can walk a fair distance!
Worked I Brooks Thomas with Hilda Gilroy who now lives in Toronto and I live in Lisbon Portugal nice to see familiar scenes
That's right gerry my favorite movie of all time great soundtracks. Cheers thanks for the comment.
God be with the days (1950's) when my late mothers younger brother (now also deceased) used to drive me from Leitrim to Dublin ( during the summer holidays) in his job as a delivery driver. It was there (on the North Circular) that I first learned to love Dublin... As I do to this day!
John, there's not much left to love about it these days, I'm sorry to say. ...
Lovely story. On from the north circular road.
My my, it was like heaven, godlike. Why can't we have those great neon signs up again?, instead of putting too much emphasis on christmas to be the time when it looks good. I love being a Dub, but the city doesn't look half as good as it used to, and that gobshite Frank Feely is party to blame with his stupid thick headed demolishion campaign mostly in the 70s -- what a dope. I get emotional about Dublin, all the great people and characters over the years, i love it so much.
The development of Dublin is a disgrace. The heart of the city has been torn to pieces....bring back Nelson's Pillar for starters!!!
@@johnd942 ...yeah, so that my generation can enjoy witnessing it being blown to smithereens again.
Can’t be the 70s as the people and cars are much earlier. Also Nelson’s pillar was blown up in 66
1:39 "Fashion Hoes"
Us Dubliners did things in style!
Nice shots ! :)
The reality though was that on calm days the Liffey stank like hell. It was my first impression of Dublin when I first visited as part of a school tour in the 70's
That is true but not very often only at certain states of the tide.
Oscar Wilde put it as only he could, that "the smell of the Liffey is one of the sights of Europe".
I learned to swim in the Liffey.
Saw my first couple of dead bodies there (floating!) One day when I got out after a swim across to the Custom's House from City Quay side, I noticed all my fair body-hair had turned black!!! Ugh! That was my last time for swimming in the Liffey! :))
That was the summer of `76. I was a happy carefree 14 year old!
Mm the old rhyme was the River Liffey and when the tide was out, it was the River Sniffey..! But actually the cause was the Camac river that flowed upstream of Ath Cliath into the Liffey. That was then dealt with..
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.
2:50 This picture could be from a Lesney Matchbox catalogue
Gone be wit de days for jaysis sake
Nearly all the vehicles are British. How things have changed.
I love the bloke at 2:30 on the motorbike with the cowboy stetson!
(yes I know it is the shoulder of the bloke behind, but he has no helmet at all, at all! ) :-)
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.
More like Dublin in the 50's....but I loved it. Thanks for uploading!
This is the 60's, and yet it says the 70's at the start of the clip!!
Those old green buses looked great. By the 70s they changed the colour to dark blue and cream. They also introduced the modern ones with automatic doors. More comfortable but souless. In the 1970s the old buses were parked in phibsboro, and my school friend used to smash their windows for fun. They scrapped them all. Pity.
Phibsboro was a rough place back then! :)
There was an old scrap yard down by Santry & Turnapin lane where the majority of all the old buses ended up....
This was amazing, do you have any more videos
Yup the Pillar was " removed" in 1966...!!
I awoke out of a coma in a Dublin Hpspital, I was 14. I am Irish and as Dublin as you can get. The first face I saw was that of a Black man and he was the first Black person I ever met. His big smile and beautiful brown eyes welcomed me back. I thought I was in heaven and this doctor was an angle. He sure looked liked one.
Sounds like you took too many drugs at a thin Lizzy concert
The thing I remember from the early 60s was going back and see how many lads had motor scooters and mopeds with their girlfriends riding the pillion seat sidesaddle! It just wasn't ladylike back then for girls to sit astride.
More like Dublin in the late 1960s Nelson's pillar was blown up in 1966.
2:14. Nelson's Pillar, which was blown up in March 1966. The pictures are lovely, but it's not the 70's.
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.
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?
Its more like the 50s or early 60s. The pillar is still there. It was blown up in 1966
Not a burka in sight.
@Lucy Hamilton It was.
The women hating paedos in the church that had so much influence over the country back then wouldn't have liked that! Thank god we've moved on.
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
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.

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

This is not the 70s in Dublin. Nelson’s Pillar was blown up in the 60s and it’s here in this video.
Yes, surely, before 1966, the year of its destruction
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.
1960's. No green buses in the 70's.
We didn't know what we had and now it's gone....Ireland is lost to the Irish.... a minority in our own country. Depressing city centre now- I avoid it when I can.
The city center is a zoo now.
Yep…a nation of racists! Good job we found England and the USA or we’d have to stay at home forever!!😵💫
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.
This is from the 60's, I don't think even one photo is from the 70's, fabulous upload nonetheless.
Dublin is still magnificent
And Ireland is in the top 3 richest countries in the world
PROGRESS
All down to our education…go UCD
To be fair, not a whole lot has changed bar the docklands and a bit of pedestrianisation. Large cities change and develop, we just have to make sure the development is whats best for the people who live there
a BIT of pedestrianisation?...re-watch the video and look at the cars parked on O'Connell Street, let alone the mayhem of traffic outside Trinity on College Green, while cars and vespas are parked on Dame Street...O'Connell bridge alone looks like it had 5 lanes of uncoordinated traffic. Grafton street is unrecognisable now too...It will soon be impossible to park any where near the City Centre...DCC planners are slowly pushing all traffic out. Great if you're a pedestrian, terrible if you're a business that needs supplies and services delivered.
Fun fact...O'Connell bridge is the only bridge in Europe that is wider than it is long.
Or if you are working from a van, there should be some sort of parking difference for trades people. And ironically all the loading bays are now being parked in by people who can’t find parking 😂 Also there are enough disabled spots around the capital than disabled people need I’d imagine. One of Dublins many problems.
These images are not from the 70s (I know, I was living in Dublin then).
Our country has been completely sold out by narcissist varadkar and Fine Gael
Will they ever clean the Liffey walls?
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. 😢
It was a literal crumbling ruin in the 70s and 80s but according to you things are worse now because we have "diversity?" Bollocks. It's people like you that are the problem in this country.
That's Dublin in the 60s 👍
..... not the 1970s
There seems to be more cyclists back then compared with today. How did they manage without cycle lanes?😀
From that To the toilet ireland is today.
The music is shocking. 🙄
THINK THATS MORE LIKE THE 60TH THEN THE 70TH
so I'm not the only one who thinks that then?
Early 60s too. CIE buses were green up until the end of the 1960s. Around 1967/68. they changed their colours to cream and blue. Some of the pictures show buses in the later colours.
The safer days .
Unless you were gay, foreign, a married woman who didn't feel like sex , an unmarried woman who got pregnant, wanted to be educated without religon, a child who had been abused, a battered wife .... the list goes on !!
Don't take what I am saying in the wrong way but back then th ings were alot different, there were no non irish or homeless people, things have changed over the years alot
Is that not the 1960’s ????
Molly malone
Progress? Not for Dublin. Just another destroyed city, and a once-happy population now sad.
Once happy. Yea we were always happy.
Early 1960s, not 70s.............
Thats the 60s, doesn't look like 70s
I keep getting recommended these depressing-ass videos of this dirty aul town. It's bad enough I have to see it everyday.
alan duncan
Fuck off Alan
Sorry; but these are not the 1970s
Wanchor
That is not the 70’s or 60’s more like the 50’s.
It's 1961, see the comment by Johnny G. The cars on the street align with it being 1961. So you are pretty much right.
