This film comes from the collection of National Museums Northern Ireland. It was created to promote tourism for one of Northern Ireland’s leading holiday destinations. Barry’s Amusements is a cherished icon created by Circus legends Evelyn Chipperfield and Francesco Trufelli in 1926. Keen to ensure the success of their station and hotel the Railway Company invited the couple to set up a permanent site in Portrush. Many holidays, summer jobs and assignations happened here making this a popular film with reminiscence groups.
