WATCH: Go back in time and walk around this Tipperary town back in 1963!
Carrick-on-Suir was a lively town back in the 1960s
A visit to the town of Carrick-on-Suir, County Tipperary from all the way back in the 1960s.
Presenter, J.B. Malone, narrates a journey beginning at the river Suir and along the streets of Carrick. He describes the setting of the town and the activities that go on along the river Suir.
The town was characterised by busy streets with tall narrow houses, a picturesque clock tower, and the relic of the Castle of Carrick. The castle was originally built to receive Queen Elizabeth on a visit to Carrick that never happened.
According to the RTV Guide (now the RTÉ Guide), the castle is, Gracious even in decay, and displays the first stirrings of renaissance art to reach Ireland.
