When Newport was an amazing vibrant place now it’s just degraded and full of immigrants and homeless people and empty shops well done the government amazing job wish I could go back to the 80s early nineties great times
Today I watched a video on the dreadful state of Newport today (socially and structurally). Your video really brings it home to me how much the city has been allowed to decline. Liveried buses? Wonderful. Thank you.
❤️ Newport Still , up there every month for my haircut in Razors and good Caribbean food . I used to love going to the (in shops) back in the 90s buying the Spliffy & Eclipse clothes for the Raves , great times
Lovely trip down memory lane. Especially enjoyed seeing the inside of old Kingsway, the Octopus Bridge and the prefabs. A few old place names there which have long disappeared (and not for the better). Thanks for sharing.
The council even tried to close the train station but the people from Newport who use trains said that we need a station because a lot of people need the train station for holidays and for work
I actually feel sad watching this, i remember Newport as a kid and it was so much nicer. Why have the people in charge let it get so bad. 😢 it doesn't feel like the place i grew up in anymore..i don't recognise the faces or some of the culture 😔
And, I had the flat that you can see to the left of the picture, forgot about that, was a disaster. 16 n my mum had enough of me n got me the flat. Think it was £50 a week. Shit hole 😂

My brother was born there in a fair ground wagon
Octopus bridge 1951
The fair were on there way to the lighthouse Road for the winter my mum did not make it to the hospital on time
Such a shame.
What a wonderful place newport used to be every body new every body
Some of the changes in Newport have been change for changes' sake. Was boss in the 90s.
And the labour council turned it into wasteland.
And they still vote for them!
They finally got rid of 'Alderman' Fouweather though.
Used to be a nice place to go shopping years ago wouldn’t fancy it now
nice video your drone work is actually really cool
A fond trip down memory lane
It is getting worse in Newport I don't like coming home from holiday
The council even tried to close the train station but the people from Newport who use trains said that we need a station because a lot of people need the train station for holidays and for work
What’s the music in this video?
Jazz It Up (feat. Lolita Dark) by S.O.S. Brigade Quartet
The council don't want to spend the money on the shopping centre they are happy to waste the money
This us the second video ive seen on my home so-called city - and both of them make me think what the @#$_ went wrong?

Newport monmouthshire it became gwent game over.
I remember when the bus stop was outside the old market at the old green crossing you have any pics of that ?
Born hear 1956 small town than
Handyland down Pill,,,early 60's it was the Plaza cinema ! sixpence on Saturday mornings for kids show !
Blast from the past how much Newport has changed over the years
Yes, it transformed from being a bit of a dump to a complete dump. Don't be too down, it's a general trend in most towns and cities in the UK.
Off all the pictures online I NEVER see pictures of the InShops in the 90’s. It’s like it never existed. Such a shame.
Where were the inshops?
Pictures (0:48) of the RGH taken from no.31 cardiff road, could be 33 but I lived at 35 for 28 years from about 88 😊.
And, I had the flat that you can see to the left of the picture, forgot about that, was a disaster. 16 n my mum had enough of me n got me the flat. Think it was £50 a week. Shit hole 😂
