The people of Hospital in County Limerick are the stars in this opening sequence to Hall’s Pictorial Weekly. Hospital in County Limerick derives its name from the crusading Knights Hospitaller who built a Hospital Church in the town in the thirteenth century. The ruins of the abbey from this period survive beside Saint John the Baptist’s Roman Catholic Church on Lower Main Street. In this link you can see some of the people in Hospital going about their daily business include schoolchildren, teenagers carrying tennis rackets, a farmer with his tractor, a man fixing a bicycle and a man unloading sacks of potatoes from his lorry. This episode of ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’ was broadcast on 2 April 1975. Please see the following link for the footage: https://www.rte.ie/…/2020/0311/1121633-hospital-county-lim…/
