Waterford in Pathe Newsreel.

While its known for the dogs and footie, Kilcohan started life as a horse race track here is a snippet of Pathe newsreel from 1921, a flat race as far as I can tell.

if you type Waterford in the search box there are few other fragments of the city (and counties) history.

Thats an interesting clip with the two sinn feiners being made parade the union jack around the square in Dungarvan escorted by armed black and tans. Then out to some rural location and made hoist it..any idea where they were hoisting from?

It wasn't a rural location. They hoisted it on a ruined building in the protestant graveyard in the town.
