- This is the one hundred and thirtieth of the remastered Lorcan Film Unit Videos. There is a total of 10 hours worth of film that we hope to publish over time. Unfortunately Leslie Crowe who was the Director and creator of much of this content is no longer with us. So we are hoping to get your help to figure out the places and the names of the people he captured.
If you turn on the Closed Captions "CC" on the video to see what we know about the footage so far.

I believe the shop at 1:53+ with the cashier wire system was Gordon Thompsons. It was on the south side of Thomas Street a few doors down (towards High St) from Meath St. I think there is a Tesco on the site now. I remember going there as a boy with my mother in the 1960s. I was always fascinated by the wire and pulley system! I think it was a general store with some clothing etc.
Sam's Junk Shop was on Francis Street.
The first police/Garda station is Kevin Street, replaced by a modern building five or six years ago.
The one at 3 minutes is Dundalk. Originally the governor's offices of Dundalk prison. Behind it are two wings of cell blocks. The wing on the left is now Louth county archives, while the wing on the right is an arts complex. Behind them is a council yard where hard labour prisoners once broke stones.
In the 1970s much territory around Dundalk was bandit country, associated with cross border political crime, hence the burnt out cars.
The Napper Tandy was in Bride Street 👍
Looks like 1973 or after, as the hoardings are up around Wood Quay. The Loreto arch is on Georges Street.
Bachelor's Walk @1:07. It was all auction rooms & antiques & furniture shops at the time.
@2:09 Tony Burke's pub was on Hill Street. Later became Stoney's (probably 90s)
St. Audoen's Arch, Cook Street @2:23
1:42 looks like Iveagh baths/trust building.
2,00 2 20 is hill street
Tony Burke Pub - on Hill St, opposite Bath Lane. Building is still there but no longer a pub I think.
