Glad you are enjoying them. Just want to say thanks to Muriel who let us know that her brother Charlie in this film. Also to Deirdre who spotted her grandparents Francis and Patrick.
The shots of Raheny station are lovely, a very interesting period of steam/diesel trains side by side. The rarely recorded appearance of a new CIÉ 121 Class locomotive travelling bonnet first (probably to Belfast) dates the footage to early 1961.
Thanks for putting this up.
I remember Mr Kane as an old man, sitting on the seats outside the church.
The place where you grew up never leaves you.
Margaret Rooney Glad to hear that the footage is bringing back some fond memories. Mr Kane was the caretaker for the School.
