This is the Swansea I was born in and grew up in. I was 3 when this was filmed. You passed within a few feet of my wonderful grandparents' house on Port Tennant Road, my heart stopped when you turned onto it and I saw it as I did when I was very young. You stopped just a few doors up from my auntie and uncle's house on Danygraig Road. Thank you so much for posting this, it brought a tear to my eye
God it's so weird seeing the old walkbridge going over to the Leisure Centre without the new Arena and stuff. It hasn't changed massively, but this has been one hell of a blast from the past to watch. Thank you for posting!
Amazing post - my childhood on video capped off by driving through St Thomas and showing my school, the old and best St Thomas primary school, even with all the stairs. My family still live there now on Osterley Street and always have and will love Swansea and St Thomas.
My grandparents moved to swansea in 2003, same year I was born. I have very fond memories of this place growing up. They've since moved to llantrisant about 2 years ago, I miss Swansea a lot.
@Hellie's Travels You're right, most of them were either crashed, stolen, rotted out or modified beyond the modern boundaries of physics. I had a mk 1 GTE back in the day and the floor pretty much fell out
I had a Mk1 Astra GTE back then too, I bought it from Shadows Car Sales in Swansea and guess what, the floor was rotten too even though the rest was mint. Only 9/10 Mk1’s registered on the roads today.
@@helliestravels14 Remember Swansea well . The first 20 seconds of the video- I Took a bus full of Japanese tourists to rhosilli, got stuck when a touring caravan came the other way! Traffic chaos for at least 1 hour after 🤣🤣🤣on a bank holiday aswell.
