Tolka Row is an Irish television drama serial that aired on RTE One from 1964 to 1968, set in a fictional housing estate on the northside of Dublin.
Tolka Row is similar in format to the long-running British serial Coronation Street, from which it borrows its main premise (the everyday life of a number of neighbours).
During its entire four-year run Tolka Row remained at the centre of Telefís Éireann's prime time schedule.
For all five series, the complete set of Tolka Row (house interiors and exteriors) was erected inside Studio 1 of Telefís Éireann's Television Centre in Dublin.
There are a number of reasons for the use of an indoor studio; the main one being that the infancy of production techniques at the time did not allow easy recording and editing of sequences filmed in different locations.
