    Thank you for the memories! I was born and raised in Barry and moved to North Carolina when I was 21. Lots of good memories from Barry Town. Barnaby's bookshop, the fancy dress shop that seemed like it was only open for about five minutes a week, buying Pokemon cards at the market on Tuesdays. Once I tripped on a paving slab in front of Greggs and fell flat on my face. Still good memories, though - thank you for taking the time to do this. Your content always makes me nostalgic. :)

    My husband's ancestors come from Barry. Richard and Eva Stolp left 1926 for Australia. We hope to see Barry when we retire in the next couple of years.

    This is an amazing video. I'm watching on a projector, just like being there.
    We were there 1979. I remember the toilets in the square it was the only one I've ever seen with barb wire. Mum dragged us all into Dan Evans, she loved it.
    There was a strike on at the time and someone came up to me and said " There's bread in that shop"
    Very friendly place.
    I've seen your videos before and it's great for us that no longer live there.

    Nice Dudgies, I heard you say this is Thompson st leading to the Docks my Mother was from Coronation st off Thompson st , she used to say it’s the Tiger Bay of Barry, I haven’t been there since I was a kid I’m 65 now, when the Sun shone my Mother would turn a golden Bronze skin tan colour and I would say I wonder what blood we have running through our veins from around the world, ships from all corners of the world called there.

    • @TheDudgies
      @TheDudgies  3 місяці тому

      Hiya mate, yeah that's correct Coronation St is just around the corner. How awesome would it be to be to step back in time to when the area was full of people from all around the world & the town centre was at its peak. The area was definitely the Tiger Bay of Barry, from the story's I've been told. 🙂👌

    40-50 yrs ago Barry was a decent little town, lots of independent shops as well as chain stores, 4 cinema's, clean level pavement's, loads of jobs, well policed and so on......
    But with the closing of the docks and the loss of B.P,, and decades of criminal levels of miss management the town is now a sad, grubby shadow of it's former self 😖
