Youghal in the 1950s-70s: Catherine Matthes Shares Rare Films from Her Father's Archive

Capturing Youghal's Past: Catherine Matthes Remembers Her Father's Films Catherine Matthes fondly recalls her father, Billy Matthes, a Youghal resident with a keen eye for local life. His prime location allowed him to capture numerous town events on film from the 1950s to 1970s, including parades, storms, fires, and everyday scenes before television became common. These home movies offered the community entertainment, showcasing shops, bars (like the burned Atlantic Hotel), and significant events like the arrival of the Grace Darling lifeboat, Procession Sunday, The Regatta and the building of the new bridge. Catherine remembers the excitement of watching these films at home with friends, seeing familiar faces and a Youghal much different from today. She appreciates the current recognition and preservation of this archive, reflecting on a time of "innocence, goodness, and safeness."
