HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- This documentary is the story of one of the most remote sand mines in Europe and the people who worked in this unique environment in the 1940's and 1950's. A rare insight into industrial heritage based on archive footage mixed with modern storytelling. This was a community made film with support from the Donegal Local Development Company. (2012)
Great to see this resource finally online.
Excellent little production, thanks for making it 👏👏👏.
I am so glad I found this - We visited the quarry site last month and saw the remains looking very eerie in the swirling mist. As a former Pilkington employee, I was staggered to discover the links with Muckish. There is an excellent article by Mining Heritage Trust of Ireland that covers the technicalities of the quarry, but this programme adds so much more. Thank you for making it available.

Fantastic insight into this historic gem
Many thanks!
Great bit of background music by the late great Liam Deery.
Thank you Mary. Liam's music added so much to the film. He was a real gentleman and it is an honour to have his music as our sound track.
