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...

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?
@alanc286 4 ай бұрын
It certainly was during the seventies, eighties and early nineties when I was living and drinking in Swansea. If you wanted the best pint of “Worthy” dark in the seventies, then you would have needed to visit The Jersey Arms when it was being run by “Shrevo”. He and it were famous for the Worthy dark and customers came from miles around just to taste it. Oh the good old days.

@alanc286 thanks for your info here in the midlands "mild" or "dark" was the main beer for many years and in some ways still is I used to drink in a pub in birmingham called the "white swan" and there main beer was ansells mild they literally sold thousands of pints every week and it would be lined up on the bar for when the punters came in after mass on a Sunday it would just be topped up then and it was absolutely gorgeous people would come for miles to drink it! We also had m+b mild and highgate mild all literally superb as you say "oh the good old days"!! God I miss them!

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 !

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
