Saw this on Facebook this morning assuming it hasn't been posted here yet. Covers a bit of the history of the towns streets and buildings.

Great post!
Remember Diver Mac in Chapel Lane and the Turnpike Cottages.
Anyone know who the lady is at 15:26? And a similar shawl-clad woman used to walk along the Kilrush Road in the late 60's-was she a Mrs. Redmond?

I love that British Pathe video. The voice over is hilariously patronising.
