Hi Mark! Fantastic video! As a foreigner living in Dundrum for the last 3 years! It’s incredible to see all the changes that had been done! very sad to know about the bridge demolition! But I guess is one thing for another! Thanks for sharing, first time knowing how did it look back in the day!! Greetings
3:38 I remember that place as Gort Muire Carmelite Monastery. Is it called Gortmore now? One of my early memories, mid 1960's, is Findlaters Grocers near where the Bank of Ireland is now. There used often be a horse-and-dray waiting outside there, the horse with his nose bag fuelling up for the next pull up the hill! I still miss the old (1970's to 2000's) shopping centre. The new place drives me nuts ! Mulvey's hardware had anything.....
Hi Andrew! Yes the area has changed quite a lot over the years. Fair play to the people who bothered going out with a camera to take the photos that appear in the video so we can enjoy them today 😊
Thank you so much, I grew up in Taney until 1994 and loved Dundrum pre the new shopping centre, it had such a lovely atmosphere though it could get rough at times. But a wonderful village as I remember......
This is wonderful to see. I have know this area all my life and have seen how dramatically in the last 30 to 40 years. Just goes to show the power of the Photograph and how they grow in value as the years go by. While we can thank the people who originally took the photo's, Thank you Mark for putting them all together for everyone to enjoy.
@S MacO That's a very nice comment, thank you. Yes it's great that people bothered to make the effort and go out and take the photos and put them online. In fact this video is outdated now as there have been much more changes since. Maybe I should go out myself and some new photos from the same positions and reedit and new video : )
I remember how Dundrum was before the town centre, better and more quaint. Yes, everything progresses, but can't help feeling that it was a better village back then
I may not have been around to see what Dundrum was like before the 2000s, but I sure know how you feel in a way. Dun Laoghaire used to have a busy shopping centre in the same vein as Carrickmines retail park and Dundrum town centre, but now half the stores are shut down and the place is somewhat of a ghost town, especially on the third floor.
My heart is so sad born and raised in Ballinteer/Dundrum. It was a wondetful place to grow up, it was beautiful.Its heart was taken and its never been the same since that shopping centre was built. 😢Thank you Mark, it was lovely to see the old photos 🙏😊
Many thanks for uploading this video. Lots of great photos. Used to live in Ballawley. Moved away in my early teens but have memories of making my way to Dundrum Bowl via the back of crazy prices past the pye centre and on to the bowl. The dundrum bowl always had the cutting edge arcade games and of course quazer and a few dodgy characters who looked as rough as a badgers backside. Think the place flooded once and I don't think it properly recovered. Thanks again for sharing.
@Rick Grimes True Rick, after the flooding of the Dundrum bowling ally it became a Roller Dome which only lasted a few years until it eventually closed down. A very different space there now. Thanks for the comment ☺️
This is really cool. Its so good to see how Dundrum has evolved. And to top it, its the choice of background music that makes you feel and live that era.. All this while I have not even been here for that long. Great Stuff Mark!
It’s amazing to see how Dundrum has evolved from a regular little village to a massive shopping complex with its rail connection back after nearly 50 years. But I do sometimes wish to visit this old Dundrum just to see what it was like. Nowadays Dundrum is a combination of it’s older days and the modern era.
Wow, never saw these before. I loved your shots of crazy prices and xtravision. Thanks so much for sharing these. If you find any more we'd love to see them.
Thank you for your comment. But please remember that the photographs do not belong to me, I just found them online and created the video so all credit goes to whoever took the photos. I'm glad you enjoyed it though. It is strange to see the old Crazy Prices, gone but not forgotten : )
Very nice, well done...... Interesting view of the destruction of Ballinteer Bridge and the Castle which, I believe is still in existence but with no public access
My sisters and my self went to school in Dundrum from about 67 to 73 we lived in Sandyford i left Ireland in 85 went to London and the wonder lust took me to Australia where i now live .I had meany a pint in Dumdrum House
Great video Mark hope your all doing well Gavin Byrne Gavin walsh Jennifer Murphy Erica finn Michelle Kennedy Gayle walsh Jhon o Donovan Miss the old days.
Lovely video Mark. Ballinteer Bridge- is it still there ? I missed 2 landmarks, Dundrum Tech and Dundrum Mental Hospital.....I am from the Nutgrove area
When did the Bowling centre close down, as I remember going there with 2 work colleagues, whilst I was visting from the UK and staying in Malahide for a few days.
It was demolished sometime between late 90s to early 2000s, Someone uploaded a video of Dundrum from 1998 and Dundrum Bowling Centre has still appeared in the video
@Paddy _ 17301 Thanks for the comment Paddy. I saw your question and I thought; "Ah here... it's been years since I made that video.

Born and raised in Dundrum, it was a beautiful village. Sad to see it now. Xx
Great memories. The town centre took the village heart away. Sp sad.😢

worked in power meats at the side of crazy prices thanks for video
oh boy how could they destroy that beautiful bridge?
This is really cool. Its so good to see how Dundrum has evolved. And to top it, its the choice of background music that makes you feel and live that era.. All this while I have not even been here for that long. Great Stuff Mark!
Thank you Rumenigo! I'm glad you enjoyed it and that you appreciated the music. Timing is important : )
Great video pal more people need to see this from the area and surrounding areas

Loved it, thanks for sharing,

Very good. Thank you.
You're welcome Brendan! I'm glad you liked it : )
Lovely video Mark. Ballinteer Bridge- is it still there ? I missed 2 landmarks, Dundrum Tech and Dundrum Mental Hospital.....I am from the Nutgrove area
I think the tech guy s still there, perhaps under a fancier name. The old asylum is closed, now a refugee centre
Thanks Mark,Great Video,I'm very sure I knew you as a young lad
Haha... I was the little freak always running around with a camera in his hand! Anyway, thanks for the comments : )
Mark that’s great !
: )
Great work, thx bro.
ballinteer bridge was lovely. demolition of it was criminal.
When did the Bowling centre close down, as I remember going there with 2 work colleagues, whilst I was visting from the UK and staying in Malahide for a few days.
@mrlister2000
Sometime in the 90's I think.

@Paddy _ 17301

@@strangetv05 Thanks a million Mark really appreciate it! I thought they really helped tie the photos in the video together to give the full story
Please upload more videos.
What is Crazy Price now?
It is now a car park at the north end of Dundrum Town Centre. Localy known as the Tesco car park.
Mark Fagan thanks!
@@strangetv05 myself and my dad were only talking about where crazy prices was exactly the other day. He will enjoy this video too. Thanks!
@@anneholohan8455 Thank you Anne! Please remember that the photos were taken by someone else but I'm glad to know that my efforts of editing the video together may bring you father some joy. So thanks for your comment. And remember, they're not just prices, they're crazy prices! : )
Mark Fagan oh yes, indeed they are haha....
Paving paradise
It looked better then.
I think an update is in order as so much has changed even since then
@@sc5687 Yes, I was thinking that an update has to be done at this stage. But cheers for the comment 🙂
Good stuff, I have some 1980s video on my channel.
At one time, Ballinteer was considered to be 'in the country'.
Pity they couldn’t have saved the bridge.
