Double-Decker Bus Passing a Modernist Bus Station — Clip Details

Dublin, Ireland, circa 1961 home movie footage shows Busáras behind a passing green double-decker bus. The vehicle crosses the lower foreground from left to right, briefly obscuring the station's dark, wavy entrance canopy and roadside railings. A largely fixed street-level view then holds on the pale grid facade, rows of windows and rooftop structures, with slight handheld drift beneath a partly cloudy sky.

Topics & Keywords

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: Supports documentary requests for Dublin public transport and modernist architecture circa 1961 through a short station exterior with a passing double-decker.
Period detail: The rounded green double-decker, pale window-grid facade and roadside lamp provide visible period details consistent with the early 1960s.
Home-movie behavior: The visitor's camera stays trained on the station while ordinary road traffic briefly crosses the architectural view.
What appears in frame: The shot contains a green double-decker, a pale window-grid facade, a dark undulating canopy, roadside railings, a street lamp and a clouded sky.
Film character: Soft detail, muted colour, grain, slight handheld drift and intermittent marks reflect the projected small-gauge film capture.
Edit role: Works as a brief transport insert or architectural establishing shot, with the bus departure revealing the station exterior.
Historical context: The passing double-decker places the distinctive modernist station within an active Dublin street setting.
Research note: Film copyright is separate from likeness and property permissions; distant figures and unreadable bus advertising remain visible without establishing additional rights.
Research search match: Matches searches for Busáras exterior footage, Dublin green double-deckers and Irish transport home movies circa 1961.
Archive pairing path: Pair first with this reel's Dublin street traffic and Trinity College entrance, then Dublin views circa 1961, followed by comparable bus-station and public-transport footage.
