In 1967 my father Tommy Proctor took over as manager and we lived there as a family it was known the as The Elizabethan then and was owned by Frank Ramwell Crighton Griffiths and Keith Morris ( builder, architect and solicitor respectively)it had an al e carte restaurant and two function rooms for weddings etc and it was my dad that started the disco’s thanks for sharing your video 😀

[@howthingshavechanged5252]

Wow that’s amazing. I wonder if it still had some of the old features in his day? I probably met him or yourself at the disco 🕺🏼 😂

[@WanderingwithWatto]

Very interesting to learn UID the uses over the years. George Herbert sounds like a busy man. Good to see it is still pretty well preserved inside. Great share. 👍🏻

[@howthingshavechanged5252]

Thank you for watching 😊👍🏼

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

Isnt that just amazing! You used to visit that as a NIghtclub, its incredible really. Brilliant history, you did some fantastic research. What you're doing is absolutely great and it can be used as a reference in the future. Well done for doing these films 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@CountryMouseWalks]

[@howthingshavechanged5252]

[@Irishmanexplores]

new to your channel but love your videos pal

[@geoffjones1252]

Very interesting video, really made me think back and imagine the building in its hay day

[@JulieBrowning-ri3in]

I used to go there for a night out years ago . They used to have bands playing there and bikers used to meet up once a year and camp locally. I am sure it was called The Golden Hynd back then .

[@taffyboy7931]

The Golden Hynd was in Sully. I think it’s on St Mary’s Well Bay Road.

[@emmaolsen1828]

Very interesting ☺️

[@crypticcardiff4022]

Great video Phil, and very well made. 👍👍

[@howthingshavechanged5252]

Thank you. They are very early stages so hopefully will get better. I found your channel a couple of days ago and loved the content. Shame you’ve not done more lately 👍

[@crypticcardiff4022]

@@howthingshavechanged5252 Yeah, life gets in the way. Takes a lot of research and time to make these...

[@georgemaybefound4345]

Was a Beefeater late 80's early 90's.

[@howthingshavechanged5252]

Yea I remember that 👍

[@devorah935]

I think the new owners have done a great job at night the trees are illuminated

[@howthingshavechanged5252]

I agree. It looks lovely 😊

[@OSMOneStepMore]

As building it looks really nice but (sorry for "but")it should be nicer with stone bricks than with gray walls. This gray walls doesn't fits on building. But very nice video and history of building is really interesting.👍 Greetings from us. Sretana and Zac.

[@howthingshavechanged5252]

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I really appreciate it 👍🏼♥️

[@rogermain6963]

Know it well having been born and bred in PENARTH

[@mikedavies5551]

Could have been a good documentary but the unnecessary background music made it difficult to hear the interesting commentary. I regularly went there in its all capacities (pub, disco, carvery,..) since the early 1970s.

[@JohnJones-tx6rt]

WE stopped watching this after 2 minutes. The voice was smothered by the music. I was hoping the plinkyplonk music at the start would die out, but it didn't, it just got sadder and louder, drowning everything in mournful musical goo. We live not far away. It's shut now.

[@howthingshavechanged5252]

Thank you so much for your comment. I have to completely agree with you and appreciate you pointing out the sound issues. At the time I was new to the KZbin thing and as a result I didn’t make many more videos with the equipment I had because of its poor quality. One day when I post another video It’ll hopefully be alot easier for ones to hear.
