Lovely 😍 we used to live in UK, first Bournemouth then Plymouth my younger was born in Plymouth ,after pandemic we decided back to our country Brazil. I'm had a great experience, learn a lot, grateful for everything 🙏 Best wishes and love to you all British people ❤🇧🇷
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.
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 :-(
We move to just across the river in 1947 there was no center to Plymouth To get from the Ferry to center we had to walk up Union Street 2/3 of the houses were missing
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.
Stunning, absolutely stunning. I grew up in all that and remember It taking shape - thank you.

I was a boy of 5 at this time , My Mother would shopin the town, with ration books; We lived in Waterloo Street Stoke No32.
I used to play darts in the Waterloo Inn fifty years ago when I lived in Wilton Street, Stoke. Another long gone pub.
This is valuable footage

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!
@@rolandharmer6402 Exactly .... Abercrombie and his acolytes were horrifically destructive....
Not only that but it hasn't all aged well. The wide boulevards are just impossible to walk down in a SW gale!
Wow Plymouth has really changed a lot

Take a look at the policeman, and weep for what we've lost!

Didn't it look 👀 different from the Plymouth I remember before I moved to Swansea in 2016
