      I used to play darts in the Waterloo Inn fifty years ago when I lived in Wilton Street, Stoke. Another long gone pub.

    Thanks for posting this hard to recognise most of old Plymouth was demolished to make way for the optimistic a smart new buildings in the Centre. The Buses are an interesting set of colours.I seem to remember them as being green. Maybe someone can remember better than I.

    This shows more than any book can, just how plymouth centre was completely flattened by the Germans!

      Yes. However for roads and new buildings the city engineer ultimately demolished more!

      Not only that but it hasn't all aged well. The wide boulevards are just impossible to walk down in a SW gale!

    Plymouth became such a clean vibrant exciting city. I went to school there in the 1970's and worked in the Civic Centre in the 80's (Devon County and Plymouth City Councils) I so was proud of the city. I went back last year and was so sad to see how run down, grubby and grim the city is now :-(

    They could have built something beautiful - the green possibilities at 5 in your video - but didn't.....
    car centric concrete windswept wilderness...instead
    A useful video. Thank you.
