Thanks for sharing, sure brought back some fun memories of growing up in Poole, and swimming at the BIC at the weekends.

[@colinsingleton8675]

those were the days, makes me feel old.

[@freddyharvey2405]

It's great to see how my home town looked 28 years ago!

[@oceandrive7283]

Brilliant! I am from Somerset but, back then, i was a 20 year old with a 5 year old Fiesta XR2 , and, i would be down to Poole/Bournemouth quite often. Loved the area-and the girls! Happy days!

[@Ruddermeister]

I used to work in Poole Park in 1988 and then again for Wreford's in 1999/2000....memories...not just good ones...but memories nonetheless.

[@brucedanton3669]

Thank you for this of course-very nice views too. Well done!

Im 42. First went to Poole in 1995, then 1996. I decided then that i wanted to live there. Property wasnt expensive either and cheaper than in the Midlands. Years later i got into a relationship with someone from another city and moved there had kids, relationship ended, couldnt move away from kids. Been many times from 2001 - 2022. Visited 7 times in 2020. Its changed so much and not as nice as i remember it to be.

I worked at the hospital in Canford Cliffs for many years. So many memories of driving the hospital mini bus on trips out.

I was in Bournemouth in 91 as part of an RAF detachment for trade training. We spent a couple of months there. Sadly my bank had messed up my account so I was not paid my wages, and then I lost my RAF ID and my wallet. Thankfully some kind soul handed my wallet in to the Police, so I avoided a charge and a fine. We used to walk down the beach on a Friday and Saturday night to go to the clubs as was pound a pint in those days. We was lucky as we went in the Summer, to me it was a bus mans holiday as I grew up by the seaside, it was exciting to walk around Bournemouth as it was MASSIVE compared to where I grew up. When you first see how long the high street is, and what shops they had there, it was amazing. It was like being in a major city. I think back in those days it was still classed as a town?

[@brucedanton3669]

Well Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole is now one council area-BCP; has been for a few years now; although it is still part of Dorset really as before. Makes sense really; when you look at maps, you can see that really it is one conurbation with the three towns as such too I guess. I know they were all separate before; but having one council I guess makes more sense all round. Thank you!

[@paulwoods4094]

I noticed how much easier it was to drive back then, much easier to pull over and find a parking space. Now you have to think about what options there are to park before you set off!

[@brucedanton3669]

You are so right there really-alas! It is odd somehow that this may be 30 years or so ago now, but driving seemed less complicated then than it does now-I wonder why? I guess because it is more busy now than then too-alas?

[@brucedanton3669]

Thank you for that!

[@Sidneyyoungblood75]

If you did the same journey through Poole today, 26 years later and there is very little that has changed. Very little. Could name the changes on one hand.

[@martinfrasier5167]

[@DarrenJCalvert]

Great video unfortunately crime and other events have really destroyed the family attraction of my home town which looks like a different place now.

[@dansxyou]

[@iainamurray]

Too many cars

[@phillipc3286]

[@xSomeGoonElizex]

My year of birth! So interesting to watch. What month did you film this in?

[@rodbean4226]

Near the beginning of the video the date comes on, it was 29th October 1992

[@Samcrazycolours1]

What swimming pool place was that? The old dolphin?

[@rodbean4226]

That swimming pool was in the BIC, it had a wave machine, was very popular, don’t know why they closed it.

[@Samcrazycolours1]

[@Sidneyyoungblood75]

Never seen the side of white cliff that empty of cars parked

[@purserjake]

Yeah I mean it's Poole not much has changed at all apart from the cars

[@barrelrolldog]

why does the 80s look better than the 90s? its only a space of ten years but things already look less lively!

[@margaretbaddiley4658]

Great videos brings back lots of memories for me . My parents and yours were great friends and I believe your father worked for my grandfather when he was a young man and I remember happy times as a child at family gatherings when your family would visit us.

[@BaldMancTwat]

From watching all these old videos it seems weird to me that it was just normal to film random people.

[@russharding6795]

Love all these videos. Is that a Vauxhall Frontera, with Bull Bars? Would be great if you included the car that you are driving...you've had some interesting cars

[@rodbean4226]

The car we are driving is a Toyota Landcruiser

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]
