I always love to see a church and a tall steeple as I drive from town to town and from city to city it is a wonderful sight to see especially those old stone built churches and cathedrals.
I'm still living in Drogheda and it really hasn't changed much from this video. The harbour shot the boat you see is docked up this year's rotting away and the shot across the harbour there is now a big shopping centre there. Apart from this it's hardly changed lol
This is pretty great footage, well done. Make sure to keep that Cine Film. The restoring technology today, that the average Joe can own, is getting there. There are ways you could take every frame of this and run it through Machine Learning AI tech that uses the AI to enhance the colour/contrast/lighting or upscale every single frame in the video to 1080p or 4K like resolution. The results can be astonishing on older videos.
When the Drogheda Town Centre opened in 1985, did it have lifts going from the car park to the shopping centre, or were they only added in 2001 and there was escalators or something instead?

0:52 Abbey Centres changed alot
@Le_notorious Ah yeah that's definitely changed. It's being demolished soon also apparently
@kdaly210 pretty sure its a protected building, idk who supposed to be protecting it but they're there doing a rubbish job
@Le_notorious yeah maybe it is. It's falling apart inside and out. They should revive it. It used to be a great wee place
Thanks for this.
Great footage!!!
Can confirm 1985. Back to the Future is in the cinema!
Further evidence to back this up - Penneys is where Woolworth was and the Drogheda Town Centre was opened around late 1985.
And that's where I first saw the Film
Was pausing it there Jedburgh nash
@@RedKnight-fn6jrWas thinking the exact same thing.
😂oh the memories 👌🏻😂🇮🇪
Before the plantation

@@europa2000man I'm pretty sure the escalators were there from '85 that led down to a newsagents at the bottom and to the car park too.
@@GerryScullion Thanks for the info
@@europa2000man
I think the elevators were added within a year....I could be wrong but I think I remember them as a work site...
