Portobello on film

[Bob Jefferson]

This British Pathé newsreel from 1927 purports to show the 8th Brigade in a sports day event in Portobello. I am unable to identify the location. Can anyone assist?

Has it been incorrectly identified? It was the very distinct church that swung it for me - isn't this somewhere in / near in Dublin?

Compare with the one during the jousting...

Yeah, you're absolutely right. I has suspected as much. I will inform British Pathé of their error and point them towards this discussion. Thanks for clearing it up.
