Started work there like thousands like me at 14 my Grandmother worked there also . So many memories thank you for sharing. It was the heart beat and bread basket of the North side and whole City . Cork is the poorer for its departure . 🌹
Outstanding historical video. Congratulations. What a place . Heartbeat of Northside long before Fords , Dunlops . The Apple Computers of years gone by . I had to laugh at the subtitles 😂Because I’m a Norrie born and raised, our accent lives its own history . Subtitles don’t work with “Norrie” . Siri on my iPhone still can’t figure me out 😂😂🇮🇪🇮🇪CorcaighAbú
What a story I love the banter of the people who worked in the big factory’s They were assume people and they were all very happy not like the factory’s of today - To see the factory’s on fire broke the people’s heart- That was very sad - All the good people who stood together all their lives and then everything was brunt- Love the way they worked together and marrying the child hood friends who were gob smacked at the massive fire at the sunbeam)) God bless each and every one of ya!!
I was in the Mercy Hospital the day of the fire & without knowing where exactly it had to be a massive place, cos the cloud of thick black smoke was huge!
I don't think I knew where it actually was. My oldest sister worked there. We lived off of Shandon Stret. I was 7 years younger. I left Cork on my own in 1977. Was it closed in 1990 and the building caught fire in 2003? I wasn't very clear on that.

I used to work in Springgrove over 20 years ago.
brilliant , there is alot of faces on this , that i remember ,
I was in the Mercy Hospital the day of the fire & without knowing where exactly it had to be a massive place, cos the cloud of thick black smoke was huge!
I remember the day the Sunbeam went on fire. I would have been 9. It was the biggest story in Farranree for a long time.
Eamonn , I wonder would people be interested in seeing this at a meeting?
