Ahh - Dylan Lee Lewis - love that kid...!

I grew up in Pantyrawel, later lived in Lewistown (didn't like it as much as Pantyrawel but good choice of surname for it)

I remember it well...!

Wistful. Rather melancholy.

I used to stop quickly and the Mrs used to go out and grab me a burger from the Wimpy in those days. Used to live the old Tesco there too. Nice memories. Nice video mate thanks 🙏 👌👍

That brought back some memories. Thank you for uploading this 🙏

Going the wrong way around the roundabout by the railway bridge was weird 🤣

the world wasnt ready for them hahaha

drugs, stealing cars and fighting, the good old days ;)

wonder if the kids on bikes who have grown up now can remember this? they must be 40 somethings now?

that tractor queue at the end hahah! bridge long gone by the masons arms. crazy

haunting. thanks.

decent

remember the stuff for sale cards in the newsagents window @1:51

Some great people in this film, they helped to make Pontyrhyl the magical place it is.

Such a shame wat BCC did to that town. I gerw up there. I was a radio operator at Always taxis at the time of you filming this. It's a horrid place now. In the 70's and 80's it was quite nice! 🙄

My old house at 2:14 left it in 1990.

Thank you for sharing this.

Soundtrack ok, but doesn't suit film.

Boring as balls...and I am from the area

RIP David. :(

I used to live up there my name was Sarah dobbs

I lived in bettws 15 livale rd then lodden close went to Millbrook then Queens high school in the town centre . Social. Is nice for parents . It's more family Bettws 👍

Crazy to see my town like this for the first time

I grew up here in the 70's , Bridgend used to be a nice market town now its just a tip of a place. I'd like to know why us residents have one of the highest council tax charges in the whole of the UK ?

fantastic video, can’t believe how different it all looks now.

I lived in Brecon from 1999 until 2010. Loved living there on the edge of the Brecon Beacons.

Thanks for this. Memories of childhood.

What a place

To coin a phrase: I was born there, and have happy memories. This looks Dreadful. Our house (pub) is still standing but Pen-y-bont school was flattened by the new road and there's nothing to entice me back.

Er a nice summers day would have been better !

The Council killed the town when it was pedestrianised! Councillors are never held accountable.

I enjoyed that, brought back memories. Thanks

That terrible music ruins the whole film.

That bus shelter on the right hand side @3:01 was where I spent years of my life, the school @3:22 was where I went from mid 70’s to 81. Later whilst in comp, if you were caught by the bridge @4:22 by the Garw bus to Ynysawdre Comp, you’d have a shower of spit from the windows of the old double deckers 😂😂😂 Cheers for that guys..............

My uncle, aunt and 4 cousins, all girls lived there in 89.....................

So much has changed.

Really odd going the wrong way up to Coity Road at the end there!

Crazy music spoilt the film

Looks a depressing day

V

Wow it looks so much different now

thats where the football court is

wow, wish it could go back to how it was like 😭

They cut the towns throat when they did this. Bridgend town is a disgrace today.

Madness..

I remember this too .. my earliest memories

I remember this. A friend called lennon lived in them flats! ...

A certain song reminds me of all this scenery, reminds me of my childhood! This is shot for shot what i store in my brain lol. My aunties and cousins live there. Special memories! ... The song is rotten apple by " Alice in chains" .. thank you for this mate! 👍

Kerry loveluck is a great drummer! ... 👊
