I miss the old woodenworks and think it was a mistake to demolish them. I also miss plaice and chips in the Grill Room at the Talbot Hotel (3:25) which disappeared when the hotel was "modernised". Not everything old is good, but some things are worth hanging on to.
my god this brings back memories of going to rosslare on a bank holiday with my family back in the days you shot this film . sadly though we were driving ! i loved the A class locos too .
the town has changed in only 10 years? I also saw your video on Redmond Square. Again , almost historic though only 10 years have passed. Keep up the good work! Wexford abu!
This is great. Its a bit historic because the quay front of Wexford has completely changed since 21st August, 1989: the woodenworks, or wooden quays on the left, after the bridge, have been replaced with an entirely new quay area and some of the buildings on the right have been rebuilt or renovated. Great video.
It was last year when I went down there, the only thing that has changed is the harbour is not so close now and has been moved out and a car park added in between.
Spastic Camera man.

Haven't been in Wexford town since the late 90's but I used to love seeing this. I wonder did many accidents happen there?
