The naming of Cork as The Rebel City dates back to 1491 resulting from Cork's support for Perkin Warbeck, pretender to Henry VII's throne as Richard, Duke of York, one of the disappeared "Princes In The Tower" and the apparent true King.
Great video..My great grandparents ( the O'Connells) came from Cork and came to Australia in the mid 1800's. I would love to visit and spend some time there .Maybe one day
I was born in Cork in 1934 .But we the diaspora made way for a new generation. Now I have memories of those who are forgotten by those we made room for.
Wonderful and informative with beautiful scenery of my hometown. Like others who have found themselves away from Cork for far too long, I really enjoyed seeing familiar places that I took for granted while I grew up there. I’m Going back to Cork soon and I am glad I watched your short documentary. Good luck to you, and thanks for sharing your wonderful work.
That's brought tears to my eye's being a cork man not been home for a while it's made me think so I'm going to take my kids home to cork to see for themselves thank you for sharing our beautiful city god bless you sir 🙏☘️☘️☘️
beautifully done and very much appreciated for me as i'm a Cork man living in Asia for the past six-seven years. Many memories of my home town along with Blarney and Cobh. Gosh I miss being there.
Enjoyed this documentary so very much.. Andrew take no notice of the negative comments. Cathal and Sean and the team it was really a very enjoyable watch...
you all prolly dont care but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the login password. I would love any help you can give me!
Nice documentary, thank you. I visited there several years ago, and among my many photos is one I took of a cork laying on the ground. I would ask people if they wanted to see my picture of Cork in Ireland, and would show them that. But seriously, I loved it there and wouldn't hesitate to back if I could.
My Father was born in the year of 1928, family moved Bishopstown later, my mother is from wonderful cobh, 1932, , i miss my summer holidays in cork, My Wonderful heritage ,the people that no longer make me laugh, but always do, i am getting emotional now, you hold my heart.
My grandma grandmother is fro. Cork a d she has her on a brick on ellis island im 5th generation irish would love to visit cork or Ireland to where my great great great grandmother was from ❤
Informative documentary about a great city! I lived in Cork City more than 40 years ago, and it was great even then. It's a city that is so surprising for its size. I much prefer it to Dublin!
Чудове місто. Корк назавжди в моєму серці але я його знаю тільки завдяки сучасним технологіям. Щиро дякую уряду Ірландії за підтримку і допомогу Україні та українцям.

I shouldn't even say this, but look at the guy's face change from 13:06-13:23 where it sounds like some one is playing the first measure of "London Bridge/My Fair Lady", before the tune changes.
I googled the weather in West cork in December and it says it is an average of 48° f. I wish I knew what it was like that night. It could have been a lot warmer. I just feel like if it was 48° f I don't think she would have been waiting outside for very long in her pajamas trying to flag someone down that she may be meeting. If it was 48° f I really feel as though she would have had some type of coat on.
The Beamish and Crawford brewery has been closed and knocked down since this video was made. The stout is still brewed at the Murphy's (Heineken) brewery in the city, however.
A rebellion against Henry VII was launched from Ireland and ultimately quashed, but in 1491, yet another pretender to the English throne - a man named Perkin Warbeck, claiming to be the Duke of York - arrived in Cork City. Though the Earl of Kildare stayed out of this second attempt to steal the crown, the majority of the people of Cork - including the Lord Mayor - stood behind Warbeck. It is because of this apparent support of Warbeck that Cork became known to the English monarchy as ‘the rebel county’.
tamo lebanidze no it wasn’t , it was when the Anglo Irish landlords refused to pay an extra tax to the British government they came from Cork for the main part so Cork got the name rebel county.🇮🇪

Hi there! Feel your pain man but love from Here anyway. Have you considered buying smaller loaves of bread and maybe cutting down on biscuits to save money? Did you know that you can make omelette with small squares of bread and two eggs and if feeling extravagant maybe some gerkin? We here send out our love to you man and we feel your pain deeply. Living in this great city can make you feel lucky indeed and to think of some person like yourself out there going through bad times we love you man. Small tips in savings include the reusable shopping bag because you save money in not purchasing one when you are shopping? Do you know that you can make a nutritional soup from turnip and oak root? It's another saver. If you ever do make it it's casual Dress so don't worry. We are a welcoming people or what we like to refer to ourselves as a race. Anyway keep nodding man and keep singing that tune because we here have faith in you and can't wait to see you if you ever make it here! Love and Beans! Oh we here also don't mind if you are of small stature as we have steps in public transport and lifts for people. Lots of nice Cake shops here too with a various selection of delightful light creamed jam eclairs. Such a wonderful city Anyway man again we feel your pain
This was filmed around 2004 or 2005. The 90's and early 00's really were Corks golden years imo. The vibe Cork had as shown on this video, has changed for the worse in more recent years sadly. The city is unpoliced and just full of junkies and mobile phone and vaping shops now! Cork used to be such a nice city before the heroin took hold. People talk about the 80's being a bad time for the city, but i'd take the 80's Cork over the current version of the city any day. At least the 80's version of Cork actually had guards patrolling the streets! Still though unlike Dublin and Limerick back in the day, we thankfully don't have a major gangland crime problem in Cork. We don't need armed guards patrolling the streets of the city 24/7 thankfully! I love Cork , but the city has been on a real downwards spiral since around 2014 onwards imo.
Has made me recall the wonderful years I spent in the rebel county and I'd say that I find it much more interesting that Dublin. Sorry folks from Dub for saying this!
Obviously Alan Partridge wasn't available to narrate so they roped in some transition year student for the gig; and I'm willing to bet it was written by a guy who does menus, sorry, 'bills of fayre' for pub carvery lunches... It's a shame- if the creators had tried to inject this with even a little flair it might have contended for the 'Birmingham, you're looking good Baby' style high cheese of classics like the 1970's Telly Savalas narrated promo for Britain's 2nd city, but instead it comes over like a wet Tuesday in Blarney. Never mind, though- I hear great things about Limerick...
I was 20 years old before I even saw a live black person. That was in UK many years ago. Consequently I have no hang ups about people of different races or cultures. While I enjoyed my years in UK my ultimate ambition was to live in USA. Mission accomplished (as GWBush) would say. Now have family and grandchildren some of which are Harvard grads. Appalled that Pres Trump is not welcome in Scotland, the birthplace of his own mother. U.S. presidents who can prove even a thimbleful of Irish blood cant wait to visit the ancestral home and bask in the love that all Ireland and the Irish have for these United States. Best of all I still have wonderful lifelong friends from my days in UK. With all our problems and controversies the good old U S of A IS the greatest country in the world - it doesnt need to be made great again.
@@johnbastille5483 a region should not outlaw the visiting of person whom they deem detestable. The mayor of Sheffield forbade Donald Trump from ever setting foot in Sheffield. Obviously not every Sheffield resident would agree with this decision then why do it?
Could you please learn your history!! It’s called “rebel Cork “ because of the Anglo Irish landlords refused to pay extra taxes to the British government of the time. They were mainly from Cork so it was called the rebel county’. It had nothing to do with the native Irish people at all.🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
We donot Try to portay the city as that .. It simply is the biggest county in Ireland ... And any real Irish people know cork is the tral capital ,.... Aru from cork .. Aru I am.. How ja ate your sppuds.. Skins and all

I came to Cork for 6 months, it was 16 years ago.
So glad he mentioned Rory Gallagher. He was such a wonderful person and a great talent.🎸
Although he spent much of his year's in Cork, he was born in Donegal.
I went to Cork in 2014, stayed there about one year. Really lovely city and lovely people as well.
I hope be there again.
Great video..My great grandparents ( the O'Connells) came from Cork and came to Australia in the mid 1800's. I would love to visit and spend some time there .Maybe one day
I love Cork, it is amazing place, with amazing people, landscapes and history. Cork is "pure" love.
I was born in Cork in 1934 .But we the diaspora made way for a new generation. Now I have memories of those who are forgotten by those we made room for.
❤❤never met nicer ppl. We almost moved there from 🇺🇸 last yr. I truly feel I belong there. Dreamed about it before I had ever known it existed.

Cork seemingly has an old European feel to it with its narrow streets, shops, rivers, and bridges. I mean, look at 38:59. So romantic.
Beautiful city. I'm here right now near UCC.
Great informative video, thanks for posting.

My Dad was from Cork. He came to the states in 1932 at the age of 22!
Jerry Dineen Did you learn why he had to emigrate!!!!
Can't even guess the rationale for the music choices. With all the talent in Cork, and we open here with 'Walk Away Renee'. Seriously?
They couldn't get the rights for Where's Me Jumper I heard.
The narrator sounds like he has something in his mouth.
Or like he's a stroke victim.
Frankly, it bored the arse off me.
