Films made in Waterford.

MRnotlob606

I am an avid film fan, I am aware that a number of films have been made in Waterford or have had scenes shot in Waterford. From the top of my head I know that Stanley Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon" was made in Waterford as was the film "The Blue Max". I also heard St Alphonsus road was used in a few scenes in a British film from the 1990's

Anybody else know about any other films ?

The McKenzie Break 1973 a POW themed drama was filmed in part on the "Copper Coast", as was Terror of Frankenstein (1976) which is easily the most accurate film version of the book - though a bit dull.

The TV series Jake's Progress was partially filmed in Dunmore as were scenes for a Maeve Binchy series Echoes I think.

You're correct about Maeve Binchy's echoes, It was filmed at the the building that was formerly a convent.

I'm almost certain this scene was made in Waterford. Parts of the film was shot on little Island, Looks very like it here.

When I was in school I remember watching filming taking place in Henrietta Street, I think it was for Echoes.

There was also a crime series filmed and set in Waterford about 10 or 15 years ago. Can’t think of the name of it but am sure it was based on a book written by a Waterford man.

Waterford Courthouse was used for a film ...... in the 60s I think.

I cannot recall which film it was at the moment.

Think that bridge is in West Cork, in Union Hall. Some film though.

About 30 seconds in, Rice bridge:
