I have lived in this county on and off since 1971, and am loving these videos, thank you for an informative trip out.

[@GTexplores]

I enjoyed watching your film and would very much agree with your observation on the fairness in trading of the the scrap yard

[@GTexplores]

👍🚗🚗🚗 I once went there for a bonnet for my blue car. He said "I'm sorry, I've no blue bonnets in stock. I've got red or black." I said "I'll take the black one, back in the 70's it used to be trendy to have a black bonnet, made a car more sporty." He said "I like that, I'll knock a fiver off the price"! Bagillt Car Spares is completely "old school" and to be honest, I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Another excellent and informative video, John. The water outlet you mentioned, is known locally as The Holy. (a reference to the holy waters of the well in Holywell.)

[@GTexplores]

Thanks for sharing - I'd noticed some mention of The Holy, but I decided to research it a bit more and keep it for when I visit Holywell! John

Point of Ayr colliery was knocked down to make way for the wind turbine from the sea . Also they reckon the coal at the point of ayr went over to the tip of the Wirral .

[@GTexplores]

Great info there! Thankyou. I've got plans to look at the Point of Ayr in a future video!
