Swansea City what a wonderful place to live

Nice.

Nice.😛

Nice. ❤

I had a flashback still seeing some of that bunting up. I remember loads of the streets around there had bunting and painted the curbs red, white and blue for VE day street parties in 1995

Just liked this wonderful video. Thank you so much for filming this memorable journey of some of the Swansea area in 1995. It's changed so much nowadays November 2024, you probably wouldn't recognise it. Hope you visit some day soon again. Best wishes from Swansea...

it was strange seeing the bridge in brynmill where it shoud be,. no tescos. the lovely old bridge near the leisure. i was so young and my mother was alive and living in her house. memories

Seeing this, you forget how much has changed in nearly 30 years (not the weather!!) This was filmed the week before I quit my job as a part timer in Debenhams and started the job I still do today. Oystermouth hasn't changed much but the transformation of the area around the old leisure centre is amazing. Lovely to see this!

Was worthington dark a popular beer in swansea then?

Quilllo Ya sabéis dale ay ❤😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

No having to crawl around at 20 mph

Full of druggies now

I am Australian and lived there between 2000-2003 when I was in my mid 20s. A very special time.

Seems like just a short time ago, then you realised it was over thirty years!. some good times in Swansea . Different times now...😢

I was 7 when this was filmed. So many memories from Swansea

Hey well depends on preference. We've been to this hotel twice now once close to reception as shown. But preference for me would be further away ( 2nd visit ) near other pool we had a balcony with sundowners which was worth the money . Enjoy your stay it's lovely place !

Hi hellie, we are due out in Caybeach in a few weeks, our only concern is the rooms, travelling as couples, so no children, would it benefit us to email the hotel for a room close to reception and the pool bar etc? 🙏🏽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

God it's so weird seeing the old walkbridge going over to the Leisure Centre without the new Arena and stuff. It hasn't changed massively, but this has been one hell of a blast from the past to watch. Thank you for posting!

I found the hill further along far worse when I went for a walk around the area. Sound of the breathing gives it away of how steep it is.

Swanseaaaaa Glamorgan Wales!!!!!!

Amazing post - my childhood on video capped off by driving through St Thomas and showing my school, the old and best St Thomas primary school, even with all the stairs. My family still live there now on Osterley Street and always have and will love Swansea and St Thomas.

Thank you

I was the first viewer. I loved it thank you.

Port Talbot

I worked at the Coop which was near Newton Rd during the summer of 1969 I think, we lived in Sketty .

It is a local place for jumpers………… I passed by the bridges every day when they were being constructed on my way to Lampeter many many years ago.

Is that a jumper?

Great film, so much has changed in such a short time along your journey's route, I will share to a local history group.

Great film. 4:10 Such a pity that they removed the span of that bridge. Only the abutments now remain.

Shoulda kept the old trams

Swansea and port Talbot how to describe these places. I'll say it in two words. Shit holes. And that's the good points.

thanks for posting, a couple of weeks before my 26th birthday.. i thought my city had changed a lot by then....

This is the Swansea I was born in and grew up in. I was 3 when this was filmed. You passed within a few feet of my wonderful grandparents' house on Port Tennant Road, my heart stopped when you turned onto it and I saw it as I did when I was very young. You stopped just a few doors up from my auntie and uncle's house on Danygraig Road. Thank you so much for posting this, it brought a tear to my eye

Love this.

18 yrs of taking our holiday at Island Village (apartment across from Tudor Rose bar) might be called something else now, we walked cardiac hill, we were youngish then. Sweating was the norm. What a trek.

Where’s this woman from cause she ain’t from Swansea

now its full of asians and blacks

WOW. So grateful for people taking video. Thank you for sharing! x

When petrol was 77p a litre 😂😂😂

Ingest difference I notice is the people in this are all white, now days near the city centre it's multi ethnick. Also the vehicles look alot different.

we walked up it twice every day.....phew...

Love it .why stop filming when you arrive at port Tennant????

Blast from the past

I seen a white mk 2 Astra GTE lol

This was recorded 10 days before my 11th birthday.....

My name's Pig and I'm hungry!

My grandparents moved to swansea in 2003, same year I was born. I have very fond memories of this place growing up. They've since moved to llantrisant about 2 years ago, I miss Swansea a lot.

It was getting very cold at this point!
