Many thanks Phil. As you advise a collection of clips, but not just the 30s/40s. Some of the clips (such as the Huzzars on lower Grafton Street and the trams in O'Connell Street) are much older, possibly 1900 - 1920.

Look how clean and under crowded the inner city looks. Also, even though many of these people were dirt poor, they still tried to dress well when out. Dublin today is a decaying mess.

It was wonderful ...why? ..because it was run by Britain ..but inhabited by Irish ........now it's run by eu and inhabited by the desperate from all over the world ... that's not a criticism of the desperate from around the world. ...but it is governed by inept governments since the foundation of the so called "free state" .... this melacolic sentimental music only adds to the myth though that things were so good in the good old days .... People were more innocent and kind ....but there hardship that we have no concept of nowadays .. but look at the rent and housing crisis today ....great architecture and infrastructure trans buses all provided by the British ......

Fantastic rare footage of a once beautiful city destroyed by greed and terrible planning the part about the sweepstakes looks strange to us for more of this on ytube its Irish pigeon derby 1937 that had thousands of racers from all over the uk released at the espanade which is now called croppys acre

What strikes me most about these clips is that everybody seems to be dressed in their best, according to their means. I remember my mother, who was of that generation, would not THINK of even answering the door without first checking her hair and make-up. It says a lot about a person's character -- and more accurately, their state of mind, their outlook, whether they're happy or depressed, etc; -- that they take the trouble to do that.
