used to go to robin hood holiday park in the 70s and 80s for our summer holidays with my mum and gran im 60 now and this film reminds me of those long gone and wonderfull days wish i could go back 🥲
At that time it was a real pleasure to have a holiday in Rhyl. Had a week at the Robin Hood camp in the July of that year, perfect weather, and loads and loads to do. Good video, thank you.
Oh! to be back in the summer of 1986, 16 and enjoying life good laugh and great music, we had good times in Rhyl and great times in Wrexham. I wish it was still the summer of 86 and I wish it never ends. great memories😁🤣😅😜😎I❤1986👍👍
I was 4 in 1986. Time is passing quicker as I get older. I went to Rhyl when I was about 8 and then again for a day out about 20 years ago and the place was empty.
I could go back 50 or 60 years it’s a crying shame to see how it’s changed and not for the better. I first started going to Rhyl as an 8 or10 year old sad to say them days were not getting back i’m afraid it’s gone with all the broken windows and all the louts running round, spoiling everything and destroying everything it won’t be long before there’s nothing left at all. I don’t wanna put the mockers on anybody. Enjoy it while you can but you’ll never have what we had.
Had some happy memories holidays in Rhyl staying at Sunnyvale camp Rhyl and going on this fair in the 70s and then in the 80s&90s taking my kids to the same camp and fair…was there a pub next to it called the schooner? And I always remember my parents taking me into the ferry pub next to Sunnyvale camp…then I remember us booking into winkups caravan park towyn and getting the bus into Rhyl but because we was always going to Sunnyvale camp Rhyl my parents didn’t like it because they missed the ferry pub lol 😂
Me and my mate, 19 and 24 at the time, went on the JetStream with my 14 year old sister and her friend. We screamed like girls, well, we shouted F###iiiiiiing Helllllllllll a lot whilst holding on for dear life, the whole thing shook and rattled, the girls couldn't stop laughing at us! Happy Days, when Rhyl was a good day out.
We miss the fun fair' look what they have built now a load of metal buildings in the place were the fair used to be and they have knocked down the old suncenter built a hotel and acriss from arcades on the front built another suncenter and made it smaller and more expensive to get in it is now £15 per petson for 4 hours only check it out' it is called SC2 they should have left rhyk the way it was and fixed the fair ground up instead of knocking it down so fuming about it.🤯😤😤
What they should have done is dropped a bomb on the whole of the dirty rotten drug filled hell hole that would be a much better solution and cheaper to
I can remember all the small rides and things for children to play on all along the sea promenade. It’s not just the fair ground that’s gone Thay have taken the heart out of Rhyl.including the theatres and the skating .thay have left everyone with a pile of concrete to walk on now it’s bare.not a exciting place to go anymore.
Rhyl no family fun anymore..it’s all gone..not even a theatre on the sea frount. Where have all the hot dog stands gone.and no fair ground.i may be old but nice to see youngsters having fun.i can have more fun in my back garden at home.someone got it wrong.go to golden coast in Woolacombe thay may lern something..
Councillors of this town both paid and elected, utterly destroyed the town's character. I expect that a great deal of money exchanged hands behind the scenes in this horrific massacre of a once lovely town. Is anyone coming forward to own up to their crimes ?
Loved rhyl back in the day ...went many times as a kid and teens i believe ....and I'll try to be nice cos not seen it for over 35 years myself. ....but believe its seen better days ?
I've a small bit of home video of Rhyl from 1992 showing the gauge model railway that ran alongside the lake, back then there wasn't any steel fence going around it just a small stone wall, now there is for some reason, and also some footage driving along Towyn Rd towards Abergele and Pensarn and across the bridge that goes over the station to the beach. Would upload it but I'm cautious of anyone swiping the footage and claiming it's theirs, which has happened in the past where someone stole one of my videos and uploaded it to their channel. I'm sure lots of people took videos back then, even when video cameras where expensive and heavy, but very little of those videos appear online, maybe because most people can't be bothered to digitise the footage and upload it (far too much hard work lol), whereas today with smartphones etc everything's uploaded at the touch of a button and using in house software.
Jeepers you obviously don't remember the prom being rammed with brightly coloured "shell suits" then or "Frankie says " T-shirts, Harry Enfield's "scousers" had the fashion down to a T. No social media or even mobiles;-- We didn't know how lucky we were! for sure.
Resorts like Blackpool, Southport, Bridlington, Cleethorpes, Skegness, Great Yarmouth, Southend, Clacton, Weston-super-Mare, and so many others, are heaving with the same sights and sounds. Bygone age? For Rhyl, yes, but that's not the case elsewhere.
Hey there, is this your own footage? We'd be really interested in potentially using this as some background footage in an up coming music video we are doing.
@@Griffomedia incredible. We absolutly love the nostalgia in this. Would you be happy for us to use this footage? Our contact email is humanband@hotmail.com where we can discuss further Regards
@@Griffomedia This is fantastic news. If you could email me at humanband@hotmail.com giving us permission to use the video and we can figure out sending it over etc. Thank you again!
The 'before times'. The NHS was young, education was free and you could shake hands a stranger without getting arrested for breaking Covid laws. We should all have appreciated it more.
They’ve ruined Rhyl same as Morecambe terrible shame - Brighton has had so much money invested in but the North unheard of, I’m not seeing much levelling up, they speak but nothing to show as yet

Absolutely brilliant, great memories from back in the day. So wish the fair and other things were still as they were 😢😢😢
Rhyl used to be a great place for a day out or a holiday

There was more to Rhyl than a beach and a funfair back in 1986 this video doesn't do the place justice
Yea like the awesome Rhyl Sun Centre :-)

Such a shame as to what happend too it over the years and now it's not the same as was but brilliant memory's as a child with my grand parents
The good ol days when no one gave a sh** about looking perfect or social media! Those days are long gone sadly.

Some one needs to show Denbighshire council this is what Rhyl should be like, not the crap they have done now
A bygone age which has long gone.

That ski jump rides parked up in burscough now
Dam I missed it , u know it's a dull place now it was fun fun fun then
Great days - Towyn was also great
All be design though not by accident.
Everything is dull today.

They have literally slaughtered the place. Shame on them. That's how I remember it. It looks soulless now.
What drone do you use

Real fun fairs
The best times
Take me back there. just goes to show the government has destroyed this lovely country
They’ve ruined Rhyl same as Morecambe terrible shame - Brighton has had so much money invested in but the North unheard of, I’m not seeing much levelling up, they speak but nothing to show as yet
and then came heroin
True mate..and the rest.
Was at Pensarn today on the beach and all i could smell was weed.
Dirty drug addled fucks.
