I am Irish and I find it painful to watch this and other videos. I cry as I watch them but I must watch. I learned all this in history lessons in Ireland but it is only when you are older and far away from your homeland that you appreciate how they suffered. Greatest people in the world are the Irish!
No need to feel sadness Kate. That was their life. They thought nothing if it and were making the most of it. People will look back at our lifetime and marvel at how we survived 😂😂.
I have always loved the Irish. Many immigrated to Canada settling in Newfoundland. They retained their accent and became our cherished "Newfies". I had a Newfie girlfriend once.
ERIN GO BRAGH! May the sun always be in yer face, the rain at yer back. God's blessing be upon this house. May yer stores be full & yer fires always warm...
It's some ways it seems so long ago until it reached the 60's then I realised that was when my father was a teenager, then it feels very recent. Time is a funny thing, so much has changed over such a short period. I wonder will people look at photos of us in 100 years and think 'look at how hard things were back then?
An amazing video so important the images of people long past, are not forgotten. My ancestors left Mayo, Galway and Conamara about the time of the Great famine. Settled in Yorkshire England. My late Father in Law also settled in Yorkshire leaving Clontia Bonniconlon Mayo, when he was a young Man in the 1930, He told me his Mother was heartbroken he was leaving because her 4 other Sons had already emigrated to either England or America. No telephones facetime or emails then. Thanks for the video.
Wow amazing pictures love old photos of people back in the day i always think to my self i wonder what they was up to that day or later that day or what there home life was like...... Beautiful people..Great job 👍🏻🏴
Heartbreaking. Lol. Its really sad how everyone today feels the need to feel sorry for everyone else. That's whats heartbreaking. These people were just fine. 100 plus years ago people appreciated the things they had, they didn't need a cell phone and the internet and extra money to waste on dumb shit. People now are so goddamn out of touch with reality, its really disturbing.
Imagine immigrating from such an agrarian place such as Ireland to a futuristic modern place like new york in the 1920s. I would hate to imagine the shock to the system!!!
say they'd be proud to see a democratic enlightened modern country where people of every colour creed gender or sexuality are free to live their lives. They'd have no time for a petty little shit-stirrer like you though
What a great video. Music was great too. Tell you what's a great piece of music to go with very old country pics : Harry's Game (theme song). Try it especially with late 19th century country people. It's haunting
Fantastic collection of strong independent Irish women No me too celebrities with airs and grace just plain modest intelligent hard working women and did they have a hard life.I was a child in the sixties and remember seeing similar women then.
Sad to see the Children in bare feet in the Nineteenth Century, we have no idea how tough a childhood was then. Imagine being without shoes constantly even through an Irish Winter. Imagine if they could see the way Kids live nowadays.
I noticed that invariably the adults had shoes, but often the children not. How could adults shoe their feet while leaving their children barefoot? So shocking.
@@skatergirlskatergirl2486 maybe it’s because the children’s feet were growing so they couldn’t afford to buy shoes so regularly but an adult could buy shoes and they would probably last for years being repaired, etc. Don’t know for sure, it’s just a thought.
I don’t think we have any idea how difficult our ancestors had it.. Our lives today are the most comfortable, most enriched and most indulgent they have ever been. Yet we look and compare ourselves to the 0.1% of millionaires and complain that we don’t have what they do..
Ireland was a province in the UK at the time most of these photos were taken with the presence of the British Army and other British officials in control any talk of Ireland being Irish was not tolerated.
Everything was utilised in those days, even if it was only to put it on the fire to warm the house. (Anyway, back then there were no McDonalds Big Mac boxes to throw away.)
Thank you so much, sadly I am closing down this channel in the next couple of weeks as youtube has demonitized me, they have accused me of being a bot and that I didn't make these videos, I am devastated but have opened a channel up on Daily motion, anyway thank you so much for watching, take care.
It's because you are showing a History "they" don't want people to know and think about because it takes away from the UN Agenda 2021/2030/2035 Narrative they are trying to spin. Don't stop making things to show how things really were for people if you can possibly continue. The only way the lies stop is if people refuse to tolerate them. @@IrishHistorybyFreyaGunhild
It takes decades to change an economy. When Ireland adapted market economics in the 1940s it took near to 40 years for people to the fruits of that labour.
Proud to be Irish. Unfortunately the country now us a sad reflection of what it was. In my grandma times. I retire next year in the Philippines I simply can not afford to stay
The suffering these people suffered under British rule was terrible. Kept in poverty and some people in tbe photos would have lived through the Great hunger.
In Iran it is Persian Assyrian tribes whose language is Persian Zoroastrians who later entered the Arabs there and introduced the Arabic language and Islam, Phoenicians in Syria and Lebanon, Ammonites in the Samaria region, the kingdom of Moab Divon is the Dead Sea, the kingdom of Edom and Philistines is Egyptian
We are all still miserable here lol, I'd give anything to emigrate but sadly the funds won't let me, but my children and most of my family managed to escape, Ireland is only for the rich.☘
Early photographers asked their subjects keep still for at least a minute otherwise the photo blurred. That is why the people in most 19th century photos look stern and serious. They were trying not to move, or even to blink.
@@IrishHistorybyFreyaGunhild World Peace Index places Ireland as the 2nd most peaceful country in the world in 2024. (Iceland came 1st and Denmark 3rd.) If you escape to America good luck in that madhouse.... America is in the 131st place... one of the most violent countries in the world.
Like Queen Victoria and all the other women in Europe at the time. It was scandalous for a woman to show her ankles in Victorian times. Christian Nuns still cover themselves from head to toe.
The Arabian Peninsula and South Africa were once one continent far from a maritime border, with the kingdom of Abyssinia, Sheba, Hawailah, Damat, the Yemenite kingdom of Hamir, Aramaic Iraq, Arab tribes,The Nabatean Kingdom, very close to each other, This is North Africa - Morocco, Tunisia, Algiers, Tripoli, Libya and Egypt, and this is the Berber tribes who left Islam from the Khuraj and Ibadiya tribes, who are also today in Dubai and the Sultanate of Oman
The Mediterranean Sea includes Canaan, the Kingdom of Judah and the Kingdom of Israel, Jerusalem, Gaza, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and a small part of Turkey, which borders on the same sea as Andalusia, Spanish Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Tripoli
According to my understanding, the Scots and Irish did not agree with the Catholic Christianity of the British and believed in a different Christianity, but this is just a belief that was taken from them, that Christianity originally came from Syria because Yeshua spoke Aramaic and Roman Latin and spread to white Europe, maybe they drove the blacks to a different Christianity and then with them went against the British who believed in Christianity Catholic, but it's just faith, not race
I'm not trying to be smart here but have you heard about the "Volume control button" , it does be on most electronic audio and visual devices these days, I do use it sometimes too, you can turn down as well as up the volume on anything, imagine that. Take care.
There is Orthodox Christianity, Catholicism, and Messianic Christian Jews, and there are Arabs who came from a Muslim family dynasty who began to believe in Christianity, and there are other types of Christianity, but Protestant and Reformed Christianity present atheism and heresy in spirituality and with them I agree the least, most of the Slavic peoples are pagans with the Germans
Beautiful photography. People looked so noble. Oh dear, how they suffered...but survived. Blessings.

Not the Greatest people on earth!
Yes we are

It's happening already this time its Irish politicians doing it to their own people mot English
Look at the faces and the harshness they got us where we are today by determination and survival they are our people and we are part of them
I have always loved the Irish. Many immigrated to Canada settling in Newfoundland. They retained their accent and became our cherished "Newfies". I had a Newfie girlfriend once.
Get here fast if you would like to see the Irish before they disappear into the sea of brown face moving here.
God bless Ireland for ever amen
ERIN GO BRAGH!
May the sun always be in yer face, the rain at yer back.
God's blessing be upon this house. May yer stores be full & yer fires always warm...
Absolutely amazing photos of our history. What a resilient people our ancestors were. ❤
Thank you for this beautiful clip..thank you for taking the time to put up these lovley photos.
I am old enough to remember those days.

Wonderful. This stirs me emotions until the tears. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for posting greatly appreciated 😀
You are most welcome, thank you ☘☘
Great photos. Today we don’t know we are born compared to what these people lived through. x
I love the Irish.
I will visit Ireland soon
Welcome anytime 🙏🙏🤷♂️
Becoming very violent and unsafe.
Assaults everyday - murders every week. Céad míle fáilte long gone.
Don't heed those nay Sayers, come you shall be very welcome
@@Bran9It’s only fair to give a warning of the reality of Ireland now & what the people just passively accept .
The poverty shown in many of these pictures is heartbreaking.
It was like that everywhere in the world, I guess there is more social justice now...
Heartbreaking. Lol. Its really sad how everyone today feels the need to feel sorry for everyone else. That's whats heartbreaking.

Respect. I so enjoyed this. Mother from Clifton, Galway 1930 or so.
Brilliant photos thanks any photos of ponies on Sandymount beach
i like how you brought these photos to a whole new place that actually brings you inside the place in time ... kinda mesmerized me lol ....5 stars
Welcome footo god and beautiful and you beautiful ireland beautiful toop
These photos are from the books Old Ireland in Color by John Breslin.
Well colourised, not over the top
I love the photo of Linda Ward with her two young fashion critics!
Absolute Gold.👍
Imagine immigrating from such an agrarian place such as Ireland to a futuristic modern place like new york in the 1920s. I would hate to imagine the shock to the system!!!
Beautiful gentle people of Ireland. My grandparents are from Galway .Cork .Wales and Cumbria
Love to all in Jesus
We aren’t gentle at all😂
Amazing to see the pictures in Colour 😍
Thank you so much, I am making one with them turning from B/W to colour, going to take a while but stay tuned x
I love the wraps women wore.
I wonder how these great Irish people would feel if they could see the Ireland of today
Sad confused wondering where are the values. The Irish!
say they'd be proud to see a democratic enlightened modern country where people of every colour creed gender or sexuality are free to live their lives.
They'd have no time for a petty little shit-stirrer like you though
@@gerardjames9971
With your democracy we have reached World War 4
They'd look around and ask who dropped the coal in the damn washing machine. . .
Absolutely fascinating!
Thank you, I enjoy putting them together, glad you found it interesting ☘️
What a great video. Music was great too. Tell you what's a great piece of music to go with very old country pics : Harry's Game (theme song). Try it especially with late 19th century country people. It's haunting
Brilliant photos well done perfect music
Nice old photos, but the women @6:09 are spinning, not weaving.
How have we come so far in really a short space of time
Heart and hard work. This Irish spirit ✊🍀
Fantastic collection of strong independent Irish women
No me too celebrities with airs and grace just plain modest intelligent hard working women and did they have a hard life.I was a child in the sixties and remember seeing similar women then.
So many without shoes.
Beautiful video 📹 ❤️
so sad and beautiful
Sad to see the Children in bare feet in the Nineteenth Century, we have no idea how tough a childhood was then. Imagine being without shoes constantly even through an Irish Winter. Imagine if they could see the way Kids live nowadays.
It was a hard life for those children and you can see it etched in their tense, worried faces.
Watch Angela’s Ashes, it will shock you. And that’s in the 1940s I think. x
I noticed that invariably the adults had shoes, but often the children not. How could adults shoe their feet while leaving their children barefoot? So shocking.

My mother growing up in Kerry in the 1930s 40s got her first pair of shoes when she left school at 14. As she said herself, did her no harm!
thank you , great work
These are my people.. greetings from Ireland
Very nice. Thank you!
You are most welcome, and thank you for watching it, very much apreciated.

Ireland for the Irish ☘️ ❤
It should be but its been invaded.
There were 5 invasions before. What's another one.Slán👍☘️

GOD BLESS AND KEEP IRELAND
Womens' faces look exhausted and old before their time. Hard life!
So agree with you ,old before ther time ,such a hard life ,with no luxurious and no future ,treated unfairly. ❤
That picture at 0:47 of the "Large group of children" is very intense.
They look fierce and tougher than most adults I see now-a-days...
When Ireland was Irish
Ireland was a province in the UK at the time most of these photos were taken with the presence of the British Army and other British officials in control any talk of Ireland being Irish was not tolerated.
@@rapier1954 The British said it was a province. Not the Irish. The Irish said the British were Dark unwelcone Foreigners.
The 11.08 image. Very powerful. The 2 boys look drenched in pain.
Ta. Most of these photos make me feel happy
I love them because del love God. And virgen Mary
Yes when I see children barefoot no shoes, amazed how they survived.
Beautiful
Love this.
Wonderful!
One thing I noticed they was not any garbage lying around.
Good eye ya have!👁️
They didn't have anything to throw away.
@@gandolfthorstefn1780 Quit trying to sound smart people like you the way you are.

Could have done without the annoying music on continuous loop, otherwise great pictures!
Fellow West Limerick Man Con Colbert would turn in his grave at Modern Ireland I think😢 He was executed in 1916 for standing up for the Irish People.
