That's a great piece, I remember several of the people in it although we only came in 1970, that looks like early 1960's. When we came, only Drumgeely was built along with Aidan, Finian and the Tradaree area.

Great footage.
The accent of some of the narrators slightly resemble those old British accents from 1940s.
