Past Times: Kilcullen in 1964

Some views of Kilcullen open this clip from the RTE Archives, 'River Journey Through Kildare 1964', for which Martin Murphy sent us the link, writes Brian Byrne.

Wearing my automotive writer hat, I'm both fascinated and nostalgic about the Morris Minors, the Ford Cortina and the Ford Consul 315, and the Bedford truck delivering kegs. And I wonder who was that cycling down the hill?

Note the McCarthy name on the shop most recently known as Ruby Shoes.

The segment is from the 'Discovery' RTE TV series, with narration in the wonderful diction of Brian Cleeve. The short piece takes us quickly from Kilcullen, through Newbridge and on through Celbridge.
