Description

Ulster Television excelled in the early 1960s at filming reports from around the country to give an insight into life outside of Belfast. Although there is no surviving sound for this report from Portaferry on the Ards Peninsula in Co Down, it still acts as an important snapshot of life in the town at this time. Of special note is the journey across to Strangford. This was before the car ferry came into service and this important route was travelled in a small open boat. Film fans will even notice the long gone Portaferry cinema and, by magnifying the film poster on its front, we can see that the British comedy School for Scoundrels was showing at the time.
