Bus ride through Prestatyn 1988

a ride around Prestatyn on the bus 1988

[@railfreightdrivergallagherGBRf]

Fantastic. Points of note for me are the 3 lines as we cross the railway, instead of the now 2. The Vauxhall Cavalier Poice Car, and the lack of speed bumps!

[@gamer-zm1cl]

Look how quiet and clean the road were then compared to now 2019

[@jameshughes7633]

It was miles better back then. It's become too much like Rhyl now, even lost the market now. The old library where the beautiful tree overhanging the benches has also been demolished for characterless apartments thrown up in no time. Not the place I used to love to be honest

Wow! So fascinating to see what my hometown looked life before I was born!

[@albertpopwell]

Fantastic VR sounds! Especially the doors!

[@petermostyneccleston2884]

I do not remember there being petrol stations in Prestatyn. I know that the one that was the Shell garage must have sold petrol at some time, because of the layout, but I do not remember the Peugeot garage selling petrol. It was not the L1 Coastliner, as that was a limited stop bus.

I've lived in Prestatyn for 16 years and I'm about to go to university! xD The only things I can remember are the quick Save and the factory that was in the high street xD

[@strawberrymilkeshake]

How was uni?

[@northernsoulboy1]

Prestatyn Holiday Camp tower at the beginning!!!

[@themelidenstar7040]

Its weird that I can remember Prestatyn looking like this back in the 90s right down to the street lights. The only difference was the light by the bridge had a different modelled head on it.

[@mattmarett7356]

Growing around Prestatyn at the time was reallyn nice, shame the town council planners were corrupt!

[@TheRockIzBack]

Matt Marett hasn't changed much at all by the looks of it in 28 years ...I wasn't born around that time.....but if I was to compare ....only the details have changed

[@mattmarett7356]

Sadly the details are whast made it a great place to grow up!

[@angelashort1331]

Hardly any cars to speak of, used to go there quite a lot in the late 70s early 80s as had static caravan there Whats it like to live there these days?

[@themelidenstar7040]

It has more shops and its now modernised. Apart from that not much different to this video. It still has what I call the "photographic personality".

[@oneangerylittlechild1103]

Incredibly busy in the summertime, lots of holiday makers from England which infest the town!

How are geese related . my mother holidayed there as a youngster and teen ,with the Tiptons ,who were her cousins , I'd love to join some location dots . Put a voice to them?

[@angelashort1331]

How are these related ? Silly Google goose spelling ❤nz

Not confident with that bus driver, he nearly mowed down that poor woman on the crossing, and speeding, it was like being on a bus with Lewis bloody Hamilton, I was clinging on for dear life just watching it from home on my bed where I am currently shielding?
