- The 1846/8 photo was one of a group taken by Dublin photographer William Holland Furlong, he is in the the photo standing sideways.He appeared in several others in the same garb.
Seeing the Daniel O Connell Statue and how old it is still looking the same..really puts a lump in your throat.. how many generations have walked past and sat on its base since then, amazing!
Unveiled in 1882, I believe. So that would make it 137 years old as of 2019.
@@Lion2Tiger Incredible, thanks for that.
I was fascinated by the bullet holes, as a kid I'd climb up and put my finger in one in particular, on one of the angels breasts.
It survived the rising somehow when everything else around it was levelled.
My Grandfather was born in Dublin 1902, grandmother 1904 so this would have been the Dublin my great grandparents lived...and so on and so on. My mother loved Dublin.
I remember as a child in the early 70's walking the cobbled stone streets of the Thomas Street area that still had the old steel tram rails embedded in them....looking at those photos...little had changed until that point. Wonderful pictures!
What an incredible collection of photo's thanks for all the effort...all those countless forgotten stories absolutely mystical...
A treasure of photography, back to the trams but no horses about. The cobbles look great. It tingles your mind of the age the city and its beauti.
Think about this one.....When that photo of Dublin was taken in 1848, Ireland was going through the catastrophe of the famine......
As a Taxi driver in Modern Dublin.Looking at these photos I can still recognise Most of these streets.Havnt changed much apart from modernisation.Not many cities in the world have kept there charm like Dublin.BHAILE DUCHAIS
Love my country Ireland with a passion both the north and south, 💚💚💚

beautiful photos and beautiful music
I so love to see these photos. Sad to see these people are no longer with us.
I want back to the past.... great photos love it
Thank you for these magnificent photographs!👏
Thankfully many of the streets are still very recognisable, O'Connell bridge was so narrow back in the 1800's, It is a lot wider now, but O'Connell St is still recognisable. Grafton St is nearly entirely intact.
I visited Dublin in 1970 and discovered that here as in the rest of Ireland that “High Tea” in a cafe meant a huge plate piled high with mixed grill and chips .
Great photos of the widening of o connell bridge, never seen those before :)
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. 🥰
Excellent photos.
Stunning, watched it twice, it was very evocative and a great song choice
I keep thinking what it would be like to walk the streets back then, and to know the life you had could never be.
i got emotional watching this
Marvellous photos
It looked a lot better back then ..
5:28 thats defo a post-mortem photo. Victorians often done that when someone died as a lasting memory
Wonderful 📷👍👍👍
Wonderful thank you 😊
beautiful.
Talk about nostalgia really hits home thinking of how many generations gone by
That first photo of those Brit toffs while the rest of the country was starving would really sickening ya!
Queen Victoria visited Cork during the famine in 1848 and a million "Irish" people turned out to greet her waving Union flags. The Queen in her diary wrote how moved she was by their love. Cobh was named Queens Town in her honour.
We never acknowledge that far more British people came to Ireland than Irish people to Britain. Add then the millions of Irish who left for the US or died of poverty, and you increase the concentration of British people in Ireland. Look at the surnames of those in Parliament in London and Dublin.
It should be no surprise that we have become just as British as the British themselves.
@@connoroleary591 if that is case then explain how Sinn Fein are now the biggest political party north and south 🤔 surely that should not be if as you say we have become as British as the British themselves.
@@ggg-eg5pz Catholics make up the majority now in Northern Ireland. "Explain" why in a recent opinion poll only 24% of the people in Northern Ireland favour a united Ireland? Or "explain" how the Republic, rarely calls itself a Republic anymore. Or how a country that was resolutely anti abortion had street parties to celebrate its legalisation.
People change.
Ireland has changed, at this very moment, "the richest country in the world" has people dying in pain on trollies in hospital corridors.
Dublin, once the second city of the Empire, now resembles Blackpool, but without the sea or the charm.
Loving the 3D (Cross Eye) Image @ 3:48... Best at Full Screen & Pause. Thanks.
Amazing.. not one person with tracksuit on !!
Lol
Not one person shown who lived in the abject poverty of the day and literally, according to historians, could not go out because of nakedness. That is another video series The Dublin Tenements.
Amazing not one bit of "Multiculturalism "

Thank,s lovely muisic❤❤😊
I remember the trams some of them went from dalkey to howth have a picture of my mam and meand my late brother god rest his soul
I don't know about anyone else, but those babies scared the hell out of me!
some are probably dead
I wonder if any of these buildings are still standing btw greetings from Trinidad West Indies 🌟✨🌟✨❤️
most of them are
Good to know
Did you know that the first slaves in trinadad where Irish? Look it up.
5:24 Looks like the Customs house, however, it says 1900 but the Loop line was built in 1890. It is probably 1879
Sons of Eire !
My last name is Conley east Dublin going way back I have a big need to find out more about acesiety it saddens me to see old Ireland and not know where my roots started
1848 the high famine years. Nobody in Dublin looks particularly deprived.
Nor were any of the pubs and bars closed due to lack of custom.
Thanks Kay 👍
Pictures of Sackville / O'connell Street with the Pillar, now disappeared, it"s a good thing for an Irish City !
Fantastic stuff. The picture of Carlisle Bridge before the widening project from the top of Bachelor's Walk looking south to d'Olier and Westmoreland Streets should sort out the men from the boys.
So interesting to see O'Connell Street being built?
Hasn’t changed much...!
Excellent!
Wonderful that Celtic Legends is far to underrated should be used more.
Proper old school 👌
Awesome!
I just have one question for all you all or maybe more like a statement , those buildings are really old and so fascinating ,great photos .my question his very simple, How o in heavens name did this building’s that have already been erected for many years, and photographed in the mid 1800s be in any way built by such in resourceful peasants , I ain’t no genius but I do know construction , these people did not even have power tools back then or cranes
many a night walking those streets
In Dublin fair city where the girls are to pretty , true then as now.
What's that in the Window at 5.10 - 2nd floor up to the right of the GPO
A bloke cleaning the window. Pre health and safety :)
This was brilliant. Thanks for posting this.
But I have to say, the kids at 3:43 & 4:44? Well, their great grand kids today are either barristers, well connected business people, politicians or high ranking civil servants, right?
Every notice,.. where are all the people !?!
Must have been all in the morning, and no one goes out before a certain time?
Chris, they are there, cameras not picking up due to shutter speed
How do I contact the producer of this video to see if I can use the material in a video for our local history society - it is about women in Ireland in the 1900 ish
A city destroyed by the twin evils of the motor car and dreadful brutalist buildings, exhibit 1. being the civic offices on Wood quay. Hideous.
@Irish Bullion
It's the main council building on the quays next to temple bar. They found the oldest viking settlement outside of Scandinavia there and decided to not only neglect it but to build over it with a terrible looking building and then surrounded it with methadone clinics and hostels for junkies.
@@theadoringfan9666 hostels have been around way before there was a dublin city corporation so stfu and as far as drug addicts are concerned there every were anyway so just stfu.
@@jonathan2755 😂 give ur head a wobble u absolute mong
@@theadoringfan9666 what are u even on about you fool.
@@jonathan2755 take your head, move it from side to side repeatedly until you pass out.
Can anyone assist? At 1:41 how did they get the first masted ship beyond what was the forerunner to Tara Street Bridge? It can only move between this bridge and the next. The image at 5:22 appears to resolve as it suggestst that this bridge was a swing bridge.
Nice show. Music is odd.
5:10 Man Cleaning 2nd floor window on Henry St from outside !
Not a single junkie in sight . . . Fantastic?
I mean if you love Britain then it's fantastic so yeah!
great video, anyone know the song?
Craig Barry it's up there, click the drop down menu in the description.
Nice
My Clann had many battles. We won some, we lost some
I like voice ad photo
Seeing the union flags hanging on Grafton Street is so surreal. I mean, I know it happened, but just seeing it in a photograph makes it so much more real than when I learned about it in history class in the 1980s.
They always blank out the sky. Why is that?
Cool
This type of video only adds to my confusion .There are no construction pics of any of the fabulous Catholic cathedrals 1860/80 built all over the Country long after some of these pics were taken .
3:59 the statue of Grattan, College green, in the background there is a a statue of someone on a horse anyone know what that is?
Not to worry I found it out, it was King Billy, blown up in 1922 and rightly so👍
Get the cars out of O'Connell street and the Quays!
all the thumbs down are from people from cork
Nicky Byrne bro I’m from cork.. I don’t get y u think that.. we’re proud of our Dublin as well .. I think all the thumbs down are people from England..
@@riskyy8888 No the Irish aren’t even an electric pulse in the minds of the British. It’s you people that are obsessed with us .
Nah tans gave the thumbs down. Cork people in thousands fought the Brits on Dublin streets.
#IrishLivesMatter
@3:02 Oconnell St looks so much better without the statue.
No, no it does not.
@@judemorgan9362 It's cluttered.
Simpler times, men knew they were men & women knew they were women.
What a wonderful time: rack rent, evictions, penal colonies transportation , malnutrition .
My last is Conley achient
I mean look at the building at 9 min 42 second in video, your not very Intelligent if you for one second believe that they built these enormous gigantic and old buildings with the tools they had at there disposal
What are you suggesting?
That's "their" by the way. #intelligence
All under English rule 😢
Poor old Dublin It’s changed for the worse since they took the EU shilling
Right , it’s gone from impoverished to prosperous
@@niallsheehan474 Tell that to the rough sleepers by St Stephen’s Green
@@johnhealy6676 There were always rough sleepers in Dublin . Do you think all the US companies in Ireland are here to sell to 5 million of us , they are here to sell inside the EU . You lot would have the country back under British control .
@@niallsheehan474 You lot Look at the surname Dublin is no longer an Irish/English City
@@johnhealy6676 when was it ever an English city
Britain as it was
You mean Ireland?
@@eamonnmaccionnaith5761 we were a British city then Eamonn, look at the Union Jacks decking Grafton Street. Over a million of us turned out to greet Queen Victoria in what was then Kingstown.
We were the second city of the empire and the best English in the world was spoken, according to Joyce, on the North Circular Road.
@@connoroleary591 A city under British occupation doesn't make a city "British". What you're referring to are the archetypal facets of imperialism. I recently saw London decked out in tricolours, swamped in Irish culture and symbolism, and thousands greeting our dignitaries as they walked the streets during the St Patrick's Day festivities. Did that make London an "Irish city" on the day in question? Hardly.
A million people in then "Kingstown"? That's a very dubious figure. The entire population of Dublin at the time wasn't even close to a million.
There was widespread opposition at the time to the visit, with such prominent figures such as W.B Yeats being adamantly opposed to it.
If you wish to reference Joyce's cultural or political allegiances, perhaps you might consider that he came from a nationalist family who were ardent supporters of Parnell. His opposition to the power and influence of the Catholic Church in the country was first born from the Church's condemnation of Parnell and the role that that played in his downfall. It was Joyce who also coined the phrase "Tiocfaidh ar Lá".
Éamonn MacCionnaith yeah I’ve also seen London decked out in Pakistani flags
@@eamonnmaccionnaith5761 joyce was supported by a British artistic pension of £200 which he got from the British after we became free state within the commonwealth, which is more than he ever got from the govt of Ireland.
Horrendous music
