    Well that’s a gem ! A very enjoyable watch this. Thought provoking and it’s good that this part of our heritage is being preserved in some way. Britains hidden history is fascinating but does sometimes reveal things we shouldn’t necessarily be proud of.. More please …

      Thanks guys. Yep definitely a different one for us, but we enjoyed making it and can't believe it's literally just down the road! Cheers 🍻

    Top class! This place is only 15 mins from us - we have walked behind it several times and never knew we could actually go in! We will be going soon and look forward to signing up! Keep up the great work on your adventures and reviews of different places in North Wales - we have lived here over 50 years and still discovering places to visit! You are helping with your videos and reviews! Thank you!

    Terrific video! What a fascinating site, so much to imagine how it had been during the war. Two thousand people is quite a lot to house in the local area, the locals really were able to keep it secret.

    Hello, dearest Rach and Wills! Oh, I absolutely did not know the existence of this place. Truly a very interesting and disturbing historical discovery at the same time. I have always been passionate about the history of the second world war and this adds another chapter to my knowledge. Definitely a place that, in a certain sense, gives you the shivers... But this too must be faced and discovered, because history teaches, or should teach something. But we know that in reality it is not like this. Guys, your exhaustive and engaging story together with the images that you showed us of this place so large and so full of meaning, touched me a lot. Thank you for showing this site. I hug you tightly, I leave you my like as always and I wish you a wonderful week. Renata

    • @PostcardAndAPint
      @PostcardAndAPint  2 дні тому +1

      Thank you so much for watching Renata. It's quite a vast site and we had no idea it was there until a few years back. We hope it's retained as it is. We both are fascinated by WW2 as well. It was such an awful time in our history. Thank you as always for your kind words. Much love 🍻

      Cheers mate. I've just found an old VHS with about 2 mins worth of clips from one of the sessions we did in Manchester - 1996 according to the time stamp, crikey!!!. The tape struggled to play and has lines over it, but I've just ripped it to my computer if you want to see it. It's mostly you recording vocals.
