Hello Andy and Anne-Marie, thank you once again for the well detailed video. Isn't Shotton and Connahs Quay much bigger than first imagined? You have shown a lot of historical information along the way x
glad you like it, I am never to sure if drives or walks/ music or chat are more favourable as everyone seems to like something different so we drop a few different types. I think a drive is my most watched video along with a walk around Rhyl funnily enough. Must head back to Rhyl again soon to see how it has changed in recent months.
Me and my ex misus lived in 6 cable court ch5 4dl,,from 99 to 2001 wr moved back to Liverpool when my daughter was born but they were the best couple of years and still warms me remembering how happy people were towards us I had a job at Shotton paper,,,good times brilliant videos mate thanks ,Stephen
I know Cable court, when I was a kid it didn't exist there was a bit of a hill there with a wooden hut on the top and I used to go there to play group (like 1978/9) and the old age pensioners used to go there, the bank was next door going up the hill and going down the hill was the 8 ball - Pool hall. The bank got converted to housing in about 1980 ish but the old bank vault was still in there at the time as we knew someone who moved in there. not sure if its been taken out by now. the pool hall was demolished and the bethel place flats slapped up and Jehovah witness kingdom hall was around the back (that's accommodation now iirc). then later the hill was levelled and the Cable court bit built - before that it was just cable street. a bit up the hill was railway terrace and the old Buckley line used to go down to the docks and up right past them houses and up to Buckley carrying cargo from the docks. that died off in the late 50s early 60s and for years there were still bits of carriages around on the docks and a few lines. there was a train wagon repair place up until the 90s. I dont think there are any wagons left on the docks now and I dont think there are any of the old clinkerbuilt boats now (used to be dozens) and the netted salmon fishing seems to have long gone now as well - still doing that in the 90s. its changed a fair bit around here and Im just trying to capture it as it is now before it changes again cos noone films here, I guess most film in manchester and london and what have you but maybe the vids I do will in 50 years be of interest to someone. Liverpool btw is a great city to film, dead interesting and some dead nice people there. type of place you ask someone for directions and they grab you and say come with me love Ill show you.
@ timestamp 10.55 that's me coming out of the G&R newsagents wearing a tracky with white cap and white trainers holding a box with chocolates and presscoo in it also with a order of fragrances as well for my friend Sian who I was going to see, she had placed the order and lives Just round the corner round the back of the shop...The Date was Sunday January 14th around 10pm that would of been when you Drove past me... I had Just came from the Quay watermans cafe as well because I had the keys for it and headed back there again after I left my friends around 10.30pm so Just missed you outside there but then you caught upto me on the Drive past...Just picked up on this now, perfect timing with my sharp eyes!!!
Nice spot that mate, I’d never have seen that. Hopefully have five mins for a wander soon. Better weather too, cameras don’t like rain. ☔️ and it’s been monsoon for ages.
life chaos atm but hopefully back to normal soon and be getting around again, trying to drop a few Ive recorded already but they take about 2 hours to render then 2 hours to upload and Im getting about 30 mins to myself a day lols so trying :D
How amazingly kind, dont worry I have only started the monetization process as if I ever reach 1000 subs youtube give you something like 4p per video haha (considering this channel started in 2006 - I doubt Ill be rich anytime soon). the superchat is an added bonus thing, i dont think You tube have finished setting it up for us yet and to be honest,we dont expect anything from anyone - just the fact you watch the videos is smashing as I think if people watch them then you tube shows it to more people who find them interesting. at least I think thats how it works :D - I am far from a YT expert even after 18 years haha.
