Vintage 1986 Dublin Green Page Directory. Clontarf / Beaumont Ephemera (Sunshine Radio Ad)
• Dublin's most famous and beloved illegal pirate radio stations of the 1980s, broadcasting from the Sands Hotel in Portmarnock before the 1988 Wireless Telegraphy Act forced them off the air. This ad makes the card highly collectable for Irish broadcasting history enthusiasts!
• Local Nostalgia & Genealogy: Features iconic, long-gone local businesses, auctioneers (Sinnott Menton on Clontarf Road), and tradespeople. It even includes the legendary Independent Pizza Co. on Drumcondra Road (advertising American Style Pizza!). A brilliant piece for anyone researching local family businesses from the era.
• Pre-Digital Artifact: Features the old, shorter 6-digit Dublin phone numbers (e.g., Dublin 5 and Dublin 3 areas) before the 01 area code system was fully overhauled and expanded to 7 digits in the 1990s.
• Retro Design: Vibrant green and white typography with the original brass-eyelet hole at the top, designed to be hung directly next to the household landline telephone. Perfect for framing, vintage junk journaling, or as retro decor for a traditional Dublin pub, café, or home bar.
Condition & Delivery:
• Condition: Excellent vintage condition for its age. Strong cardboard, clear text, and no major tears (see photos for exact condition).
