Just loved it people were so friendly.
In the late 60's in winter on a sunday morning i remember banger racing in the harbour bed when the tide had gone out.
Wow I didn’t know they raced in the harbour 🇬🇬🙏
That looked a really lovey place in Guernsey and i am really enjoying your videos showing us different parts of the beautiful island. Thank you so much.
The chip shop was there in 1990 when I worked in Guernsey , i know the bridge well
Ok cool - yes it’s a unique place with many locals 😀
I love your videos. It makes me yearn to go back and see Guernsey again. My heart warms and swells with all the memories I have of the island and its great people. I used to play the piano for the Catholic Church on the days that our group was scheduled to play. I don’t read notes, and merely play by ears. I remember one night when I expressed my admiration to the wonderful lady who played the church organ and she kindly returned the appreciation with my style of playing. Love, love, love the place… I keep re-living my years there… Guernsey will always have a sweet spot in my heart. Keep up the good work…!
Hi, that’s a lovely memory of guernsey. My pleasure🇬🇬☺️
Thanks for the video. I’m here because I found out that my great-grandmother was from this area (I’m American).
Hi, that’s very interesting. Do know exactly which area in Guernsey?
St Sampsons actually. Born in 1860, she eventually immigrated to Michigan. I’m from California although I now live in Japan.
yes baz
That citizens: advice charity shop thing at the north end of the Bridge used to be Leale's Limited, the hardware store, for well over a hundred years.
I must admit lots have changed at The Bridge over the past few years.
Congrats on 1K subscribers :) 🎉🎉
Yes! Thank you!
We have the same sort of parking here in Copenhagen denmark.
The flower boxes are really nice, & the tour was good, many shops have changed as you mentioned, one I note was missing, that I remember was Prout’s on the corner the jewellers,
Roy, Sydney.
Hi Roy, that’s interesting. I can’t say I remember Prouts, what kind of shop was it?? Wow are you watching all the way from Sydney?
well done man! Happy 1k subs
Thanks a ton!
Like to see your videos. Our older daughter lives on Guernsey and until recently lived on Vale Road, so I have been explained the origin of the name "the bridge". In your vid you promised to explain but unless I was dozing you didn't do so. The origin of the island/ islands is interesting so maybe an update is needed.
Fabulous! Love the Bridge!
That was the first place I went to in to Guernsey.
My partner, Tom, lived above the chippy & worked for the Electric when I first met him 13 years ago.
When I moved over we went to live in the Canichers and then to the Coutanchez but still enjoyed shopping with Toms gran on the Bridge. Especially the candy shop.. :-)
My first Guernsey drink was in the Mariners. I had a lovely welcome - very friendly people.
My best friends husband (Matt) works in the motor shop.
Can`t wait to come back and visit..
Great memories of Guernsey Karen. Thanks for sharing 🇬🇬👏
Thanks for all the info and videos. We hope to make our first visit to Guernsey (from Florida) in April 2022. It’s always nice to have an idea of where to go and what to do before we get there.
Wow that’s great to hear and you are welcome 🙏
Brilliant video ! Strange coincidence - was looking at a pc game that I bought my son in one of the shops at the bridge many years ago at the weekend - excellent style of presentation .
Really that’s interesting. Thanks John☀️
Chip shop
Was Harvey’s yeah ?
I used to live near there
Cognon road
House is gone now :(
Power station took it
…
That’s interesting 🤨. Thanks 🙏
Always remember going in to The Mariners but not leaving!!?? After living in Australia for 11 years not a weekend goes by where my kids and I reminisce about going to Northside chippy, fish & chips in Australia does not even come close to Guernsey fish and chips!!
Hi Mark, thank you so much for sharing your memories. You must be missing fish and chips🤣. Cheers
Ross
caught my attn while searching St Samson ..when would back again, want to know through your camera Courtil Leonie area of Grandes Maisons Road
Hi, sounds a good plan🇬🇬
We've landed in Mariners Inn several times, ALWAYS with burning feet and very tired legs because of "oh, let's have a nice little walk in St Sampsons, Vale and maybe a look at L'Ancresse...." 🤣🤣🤣
So you can imagine I'm really fond of that pub!!
Years ago there was a Quayside at the Bridge which I liked. But on our last visit it was gone and only a dusty ruin left, sad...
Great memories. Yes the quayside has been gone a little while now, no doubt something will pop up in its place. Thanks Ross
We are there next week hope to see you on our travels.
Well you never know😉
The Only thing I can remember about St Samsons when we were there back in the 80's is accidentally going in to a vegetarian restaurant. They didn't have a meat option :(
O dear😂
What about "Huggy´s Pit"? The local disco in 1980 I believe...
Greetings from Brasília, Brazil.
Wow hi Brazil👏
Hi Ross The Bridge looks village's but interesting 👍
Yes very interesting 🤨
Hello as you approached the blue phone box I saw a gentleman on the bench who I know from a Guernsey church He knows Guernsey like the back of his hand . Also in The Bridge years ago there used to be an old book shop but I think the owners weren't making a profit so closed down. My family had a day trip to SARK Mum injured her leg and when we landed at St Peter Port we headed to Stonelakes for some Pharmicts advice and some dressings for her shin . And the shop next door to Stonelakes I went in and one of the clothes rails was in a passageway and I walked into it . I made a Sharp exit Pronto. Happy memories xx
By the Harbour on the left side just beyond the bus stop you passed by??? A war memorial??? Do you know what is was commerating???
fond memories of the bridge
Yes - didn’t you used to go to a cafe at the bridge Pat?
@@livinginguernsey8595 yes remember the chef well 🥰
Me too🤣😫🤣
Shoy please midlane cottages 2,my last living
Is there a Aldi on Guernsey or jersey?
Only ever go to the bridge for food 😅
Cool👍
Thank you for the great videos 🤗
Can you give advice to someone moving to Guernsey about the schools, gyms and maybe affordable areas to rent, please?
Hi, a new gym has just opened called Anytime fitness which is really good in st sampsons. The schools you have a choice of private or states run schools. I would contact a estate agent called living room here in guernsey for housing. Thanks Ross
@@livinginguernsey8595 Thank you for the good advice 🤗 I watch all your videos. Great job 👏
And not one pound shop TBTG.
I want to see inside of these shopping mall.
Next time 👍
@@livinginguernsey8595 okay ☺️
Thanks. We look forward to moving to Guernsey.......one day.
Can you get taxis 24 hrs a day in Guernsey?
Guernsey Taxi Services
Guernsey has a regulated, licensed taxi service based at three ranks in central St Peter Port, St Sampson (on The Bridge) and at Guernsey Airport.
It is advisable to book Guernsey taxis whenever possible, especially when you wish to travel early in the morning or during the evening when demand is greatest. Here is a link to the taxis www.visitguernsey.com/travel/taxis/
@@livinginguernsey8595 thanks
You’re welcome
Sorry is it the only way to come there on island by the plane or there is also a boat way to come there?
Did not actually explain why it is called the bridge
Hi, yes I just noticed That. St Sampson in brief
The Bridge is the name by which most locals know the area of St Sampson, which sits to the north of St Peter Port. It’s easily identified on a map as the pinched neck of the island, and its second major port.
The area got its name because the parishes to its north were previously cut off from the rest of Guernsey, and so a bridge positioned there linked the two previously discrete islands.
@@livinginguernsey8595 l am impressed...cheers
@@livinginguernsey8595 All we need now is Shell Beach on Herm and the Puffins 😎
Your welcome 🙏
