Youghal 1972

www.youghalonli...
This old film on Youghal was made in the early 1970′s ( 1972?) and shows various aspects of the town, its people and industry. The original film seems to have had an audio narrative running through the film but unfortunately it has deteriorated over time. -- The music added to it now is from that era.
If you know any of the events or the people that are featured in the film please leave a comment on the Youghalonline facebook -- (if possible note the time on the clip as well, it would be very helpful in recording a bit Youghal's history). Youghalonline would like to thank Claycastle Recording Studios in helping restore the film.

Thanks for this, I'll be moving to Youghal in about 2 weeks, and this gives me a flavour of the history of the town 🙂

I'd love to experience Youghal in his boom days.... I can just imagine the electric atmosphere of it.... Love Youghal all it has to offer and the people of Youghal are so friendly...
