Rhyl used to be a great place for a day out or a holiday

Oh! to be back in the summer of 1986, 16 and enjoying life good laugh and great music, we had good times in Rhyl and great times in Wrexham. I wish it was still the summer of 86 and I wish it never ends. great memories😁🤣😅😜😎I❤1986👍👍

Absolutely brilliant, great memories from back in the day. So wish the fair and other things were still as they were 😢😢😢

You speak Welsh tho?

How much it has changed! Thanks for sharing this 🥰

I could go back 50 or 60 years it’s a crying shame to see how it’s changed and not for the better. I first started going to Rhyl as an 8 or10 year old sad to say them days were not getting back i’m afraid it’s gone with all the broken windows and all the louts running round, spoiling everything and destroying everything it won’t be long before there’s nothing left at all. I don’t wanna put the mockers on anybody. Enjoy it while you can but you’ll never have what we had.

I came to the place in 70s used to be amazing

Me and my mate, 19 and 24 at the time, went on the JetStream with my 14 year old sister and her friend. We screamed like girls, well, we shouted F###iiiiiiing Helllllllllll a lot whilst holding on for dear life, the whole thing shook and rattled, the girls couldn't stop laughing at us! Happy Days, when Rhyl was a good day out.

👍👍👍Booming back then.

Lots of good memories

Bring back the Fair 👍

There is still the fairs in towyn

Had some happy memories holidays in Rhyl staying at Sunnyvale camp Rhyl and going on this fair in the 70s and then in the 80s&90s taking my kids to the same camp and fair…was there a pub next to it called the schooner? And I always remember my parents taking me into the ferry pub next to Sunnyvale camp…then I remember us booking into winkups caravan park towyn and getting the bus into Rhyl but because we was always going to Sunnyvale camp Rhyl my parents didn’t like it because they missed the ferry pub lol 😂

JUST GREAT.

There was more to Rhyl than a beach and a funfair back in 1986 this video doesn't do the place justice

I can remember all the small rides and things for children to play on all along the sea promenade. It’s not just the fair ground that’s gone Thay have taken the heart out of Rhyl.including the theatres and the skating .thay have left everyone with a pile of concrete to walk on now it’s bare.not a exciting place to go anymore.

Dam I missed it , u know it's a dull place now it was fun fun fun then

Resorts like Blackpool, Southport, Bridlington, Cleethorpes, Skegness, Great Yarmouth, Southend, Clacton, Weston-super-Mare, and so many others, are heaving with the same sights and sounds. Bygone age? For Rhyl, yes, but that's not the case elsewhere.

The good ol days when no one gave a sh** about looking perfect or social media! Those days are long gone sadly.

I've a small bit of home video of Rhyl from 1992 showing the gauge model railway that ran alongside the lake, back then there wasn't any steel fence going around it just a small stone wall, now there is for some reason, and also some footage driving along Towyn Rd towards Abergele and Pensarn and across the bridge that goes over the station to the beach. Would upload it but I'm cautious of anyone swiping the footage and claiming it's theirs, which has happened in the past where someone stole one of my videos and uploaded it to their channel. I'm sure lots of people took videos back then, even when video cameras where expensive and heavy, but very little of those videos appear online, maybe because most people can't be bothered to digitise the footage and upload it (far too much hard work lol), whereas today with smartphones etc everything's uploaded at the touch of a button and using in house software.

That ski jump rides parked up in burscough now

Councillors of this town both paid and elected, utterly destroyed the town's character. I expect that a great deal of money exchanged hands behind the scenes in this horrific massacre of a once lovely town. Is anyone coming forward to own up to their crimes ?

Such a shame as to what happend too it over the years and now it's not the same as was but brilliant memory's as a child with my grand parents

Seen some funny things in Rhyl - Memories.

Real fun fairs bring them back please

The young lady licking her fingers after eating her candy floss , what is she doing now….answers on a postcard please….😻

Some one needs to show Denbighshire council this is what Rhyl should be like, not the crap they have done now

The 'before times'. The NHS was young, education was free and you could shake hands a stranger without getting arrested for breaking Covid laws. We should all have appreciated it more.
