Thank you for the lovely video. You brought me many memories.i have stayed in caerphilly in relatives home 13 times from 1996 to 2019. I haven't been able to come back again. Hope to make it.
First minute of the film on the left is the brilliant new hairdressing salon MORGANS. Sadie and the team are always busy six days a week so you need to book in advance. But you will be glad you did..
Caerphilly is a strange town. It has a fabulous castle and much heritage, the population is a decent size and can call on neighbouring towns such as Bedwas , Trethomas , the Aber valley with Senghennydd at the top. It has reasonably mixed housing with some exclusive areas and roads along with sprawling council estate's and frankly bottom end areas. It has two even three train embarcation points with 15 minute access to Cardiff Wales main city. There are ample pubs , a few clubs , and a few decent places to eat ......buuuut...for all the positives thers is something about Caerphilly a kind of poverty of aspiration that refuses to accept it should not be a bad place to live. Maybe its the wages in tbe area or those dregs areas who would drag the place down . The local council certainly has no interest in Caerphilly its history or its expansion. Its almost like a town that its very difficult to thrive in with many new starter buisinesses failing. I guess its like a labour club where nothing at all happens without the committee's approval and they are all half dead with no vision. A walk through the top of town for retail is depressing , the streets filled with dog ends. The bottom of town better but could be an anywhere town with Greggs, poundland and charity shops. Is it a safe town ? Well there is an inherent aggressiveness especially among the young drinkers and probably best to avoid certain venues late evenings where they congregate. But otherwise valleys friendliness far surpasses Cardiff which many in Caerphilly wish they had been born. I guess its a town that has lost its pride its soul and thanks to the council full of anywhere people its community . Maybe it exists in small areas but not as a whole.

Lovely layouts and structures 👍
I was born in Caerphilly in August 1969 but I grew up in Bargoed, just 8 miles north of Caerphilly.
I use to live in Caerphilly a very long time ago everything has changed big time
I can’t imagine what it looks like back then but am sure it’s progressive
❤❤
I lived most of my married life my daughter and family still live there
Oh…that’s very nice to know..I am sure you miss the calmness sometimes

Neat place can’t compare to Manchester
Coming to Manchester soon
@@gowithCheeseI've been to Manchester once in 2002.
@@thecelticdruid7707 so any review?
@@gowithCheese I didn't film it at the time but Manchester is a really beautiful city.
Cardiff is beautiful. Not like Manchester 😅
Must be wonderful in Cardiff with so much microwave radiation emitting street furniture.
What do you really mean?
@@gowithCheese Cell tower radiation emitting from the many streetlights.
@@davidcox1482 oh…now I can understand…I bet you don’t like Cardiff that much
