Clarecastle To Star In 1950s Cine-Film

Clarecastle is to star in a short film this weekend, as part of National Heritage Week.

A short film of footage captured in the 1950s of the local harbour will be shown in public for the first time.

Shot by an amateur local filmmaker, the scenes show when boats would bring shipments of coal and timber to the village quay in days gone by.
