Rhyl was a fantastic place to be before circa 1995. I remember some great weekends there in the 80s and early 90s. Fantastic pubs, clubs, restaurants, arcades and would you believe, I once stayed in a very posh hotel in 1984! I think the decline started when the government at the time allowed the DSS to use B&B accommodation when there was a lack of social housing. Suddenly every man and his dog realised they could move to the seaside, stay in B&Bs and the DSS would pay housing benefit. So a win-win situation, the B&B owners get a regular income, the DSS guest gets bed and breakfast 365 days of the year at the seaside, but that only attracted the transient, so instead of holiday makers with cash to spend, these seaside resorts slowly turned into towns with a population on welfare and no spare cash to spend.

​@@davehornby4859 and don't forget Liverpool and Manchester using Rhyl as a dumping ground for their rubbish.

It may be hard to believe now but, back in the 1980s, Rhyl was heaving with visitors and a popular holiday destination. In Ocean Beach, it had a fairly decent amusement park, probably the main draw of any resort for day trippers. There was also the Rhyl Sun Centre, a wet attraction akin to Blackpool's Sandcastle, and a BMX facility. Sad to say but the best thing about Rhyl these days is the road out.

Oh my days Rhyl has gone down quite a bit....I remember going there as a kid in the 80's and it was a busy bustling seaside. I remember every arcade, shops & pleasure rides being packed solid with visitors, not to mention The Tropical Caribbean Garden you could walk through, it had every tropical plants from the Caribbean in there. So sad to see Ryhl like this :(

Its sad to say this but most of our seaside towns have been slowly crumbling for decades through under investment from government. Its been twenty years since I visited the town and I don't think I will return any time soon. I'd much rather go to the main honey-pots in Snowdonia or even Aberystwyth prom and pier. 😀

Rhyl is not the seaside town it was, but it has improved to what it became in the 90's and 00's. It is a shadow of it's former self. I Loved my Rhyl holidays in the very early 80's as a child.

Hi Stephen, we used to take the kids to Rhyl late 70s early 80s it wasn't too bad then. My parents also took me and my late brother there too, had some great holidays there in the 60s. The old building there knocking down was once the Queens Hotel had live entertainment on years ago and was a quite nice place, big hotel too. The other old building that's B&M Bargains was Woolworths. Thanks for some good memories, I think I'd give it a swerve now.👍

Hubby and I watch all your content about Blackpool (thank you so much for all you do.) We both grew up in Rhyl, moved away eleven years back. The town clock is leaning but was made safe, took them an age to finish. Our son and family still live there (not in the clock) 😂 The telephone exchange looked that bad even when it was used! The new police station is outside St Asaph. The sky tower was from the Glasgow Garden Festival, we used to think it was amazing. The fun fair was at the end of the prom and closed when we were there, it’s now a small retail park. Lots to tell you if you need more info.

Love visiting Rhyl.I stay at Talacre drive up,park up then walk along the Promenade to the Marina then back into Town.That retail park gets busy! Great improvements to the Town are ongoing.Plus there is a fab yarn shop! In the centre.

Some parts are rough, the same I guess of any seaside town. As a whole, in the 10 years I've lived in the area it has improved a lot. I hope it continues this trend for another 10 years.

The councils for lots of seaside places need to be answerable for their actions and what we now see before us.Money minded councils for themselves and not the public sadly.I came to rhyl as a child and its deterioration is beyond belief.Thankyou for this video you are doing some really great interesting ones.

I miss Rhyl so much. Moved away two years ago. I'd like to point out a few things. Firstly you've gone at a bad time. Nobody is going to be in the high street after the shops have closed. Most of the buildings you showed are currently being demolished/redeveloped. Dig deeper into Rhyl and the surrounding areas and you will find absolutely stunning views, nature reserves and places with amazing personality. Rhyl gets a bad rap but there are so many places that are worse 😊

Love visiting Rhyl.My Hubby's car broke down the other week and we managed to park up on the road.Whilst awaiting recovery The people who saw we were having problems came out of their houses and offered us cups of tea, chairs to sit on and even a Car! We were on our way to Deganwy to see family. Rhyl is being regenerated with investment into the town. I do a Power Walk from east to west Rhyl when in Wales. Some cracking priced properties in Rhyl.

Sadly Blackpool has deteriorated, not a place I would even consider for a weekend break. I remember Rhyl from the sixties and early seventies, we stayed on the caravan park in Towyn, it was so lovely then, the outdoor lido, the tower clock on the roundabout was sat in the beautifully landscaped promenade. I’ll never understand how places like this get so bad, have we completely lost all sense of civic pride. I live in Wigan and that’s gone to the dogs.

Drugs and Low-cost foreign holidays destroyed Rhyl. The problem continues on because the town is full of halfway houses for ex-prisoners and the vulnerable which has prolonged its status as a go-to for county lines dealers from Liverpool and Manchester. Seems a lot of towns in that part of North-East Wales have the same issues. The last time i went there i legit saw someone getting their door done in with the big red key and about 10 coppers flying in.

Have many great memories of living and working in Rhyl during the mid to late 80s. To me it will always be great and much of Rhyl I re still looks the same especially the arcade on the front. They haven’t changed at all with the same signage. It is run down in certain places but I believe they are slowly spending money to improve things. They have improved the harbour area at the far end of the prom which looks great 👍

So sad to see what our governments and councils have allowed to happen to all these towns and cities over the years.

We used to go there in the sixties and seventies and it was brilliant for us from the Midlands and we used to go in the library which was attached to the clocktower and it's really sad to see it now.

I have yet to see this video, but a few years ago I was passing through Rhyl, and what a dive. My grandmother lived in Rhyl and we as kids, in the fifties, onwards, spent some amazing times in Rhyl, then a sedate place, really sedate, and a fun fair that was just right size. At a weekend all the drunks and druggies going around, throughout the night, shouting and bawling, rubbish bins are sprawled everywhere. The funfair was torn down, looked like a bomb at hit it, and surrounding area.

As someone who lived in Rhyl for two decades, your video was the first time I noticed the leaning tower of the town hall of Rhyl! Fascinating what you miss when you're used to it...

Rhyl has gone from Holiday town to Poor town. I hope it makes a come back.

Grim… love it! 😄👍

my Uncle used to to wind that clocks up manually and i starred in the local, “Little Theatre” as as Thespian, tea and coffee maker and Theatre set up, prop manager and fly box operator.

Well done Stephen. You have a nack of making even the dullest places look remotely inviting! I think if I went there, I'd stick to the promenade. Mr Blackpool spotted in Rhyl! Just goes to show, you can't go anywhere! Thanks for the video!

I used to live in Rhyl when it was a lot of fun in the 1980s and a had a Saturday job at Woolworths, and after work off I went to enjoy the trampolines and Fun House at the old school funfair in my grey stockingfeet, ride the Mouse, Catterpillar, Dive Bomber, Dodgems, Big Dipper and many more amusements. Also swam in the Sun Centre sadly no longer here.

The Palace is the towns best arcade. That's where I used to work. I haven't seen this place since 99. It doesn't look like it's gone downhill honestly, it's lost some stuff but gained some stuff

Ive only ever visted Rhyl once as a child to watch Blue Peter film thier beach road show on the seafront. I remember alot of shabby looking buildings way back early 1990s, i hope the council does something to improve the look of the town. Great video as usual

I live on the sea front, it’s probably not the best place to come on holiday but we love living here!

Nice video. The place of my childhood holidays. It really hasn't changed much. My parents used to bring us here as kids in the late 60s / early 70s.

Rhyl used to be a gret place in the 60s/70s, but it has deteriated since then, I called in last year, whilst we were staying in Llandudno, which is a beautiful seaside resort, the beat in Wales, because the Mostyn Estates whot own Llandudno, makes sure that the buildings are kept pristeen and have a strict planning programme for any new buildings, to blend it with the ret of the achetecture. I doubt Rhyl will ever get back to what it used to be, as it is so run down., it is too run down and developers wont invest in the place, because the lack of counil and government funding.

I loved Rhyl as a kid. We went for are holidays in the late 70s early 80s. As people are saying it was jam packed you couldn't even get a deckchair 🤣. I remember we used to stay on River Street. There was loads to do there from going on the rides and bumper boats, going to marina lake where you could go on the go carts and trampolining. And going to the Fjodlas I think it was called over a railway bridge. Shame to see it like this. Hopefully money will be invested in the right areas. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Queens arcade which is the buildings you showed being knocked down, used to be similar to the base of the Blackpool tower. Amazing ballroom, and also had had a Venice style river running in the basement that visitors could ride through on boats. Sadly Rhyl has seen better days, and I do feel the investment may be a case of "too little, too late", as it's reputation will have put generations of people off visiting again.

Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as wow some of that place was certainly run down such a shame take care xx

I used to go in the 60's, with the St John's Ambulance Cadets, for our weekend, get together, thay would come from all over the place, and we would stay at the miners Holiday camp, there was no water in the pool, so they played football in it instead, there was a Derelict Funfair on the Pier, you could see the sea though the missing Bords, but they was building a new Funfair at the time, it had lovely sea front, there was a petrol station with a big Shark hung up out side, the camp had old wooden Chalets, that was the last time I visited Rhyl, many moons ago, but always had a good time,

I haven't been to Rhyl since 1998 but all i can say from watching this vlog is that it has gone completely downhill, it's quite worrying and disappointing also.

Right back in 79/80 they built a Monorail Train track, from one end of the prom by Splash point all the way up to the Harbour, with a Station, opposite the Clock tower, on the Prom, all of this 30ft up in the Air? It was Only Open for a Year or Two, and then closed, after spending £m on it, took 5yrs, to demolish it, we used to go into the Station, via a Stairs set, still Accessible, to climb up, Blue, Red, Green windows, all around the Station, concrete Pillars Holding up the tracks, all the way up the Prom

I moved to Rhyl in the 70's from a small village called Bodelwyddan. Rhyl has gone down hill 😢. The clock, I think started leaning in the 80s. 2 wks ago there was metal frames around the clock, so maybe it's going to be fixed. You were right about telephone exchange and they have tidied up with benches and flowers. The buildings you have seen partly knocked down, have all gone. Sussex St where Weatherspoons is the market there has been knocked down. They should have started building but they ran out of money 😮. A lot of shops have gone from the high st as well 😢. You should come back to Rhyl and see for yourself. It's really sad. Blackpool. I love ❤. Rhyl take note!

In the 1970's Rhyl had 3 theatres on the promenade. Absolutely bustling place. Sadly forign holidays led to the decline. The first building that you looked at with the B & M store was a Woolworth's 2 storey shop. The tower has been closed for a good 10 yrs and was going to be demolished until a petition kept it. It now lights up of a night in different colours. The building site was arcades with planning permission for town houses ro be erected.

Rhyl is still a place to look forward to visiting even if passing through. Nowadays though maybe it just needs some investment to give the seaside resort some special features and originality to complement nice nearby towns such as Prestatyn and Conwy.

Used to sing in the clubs there years back, never was a great place. Looks like it has gone downhill somewhat over the years though.

Now this used to be so busy infact absolutely packed from 1 camp to the next,and Rhyl well everybody used to be on top of one and other,like blooming ants,rockers and mods,kiss me quick,kiss me slowly hat's,candy floss,open swimming pool,arcades packed to high heaven,the main fair ground gone,it's just turning into a shopping centre. Well I suppose all generations change along with everything else,but my memories of holidays in Rhyl from the age are just the Happiest ever of my child hood,I was born 1959 I was around 8 when we started going on hols this went on til I was 15 along with my sisters,and we would walk for miles,but we were safe we felt safe,and the best of it I only lived nr wrexham.

Stayed in Rhyl recently for one night at the new Travelodge on the sea front, walked along passed the Lifeboat station and dined at Weatherspoons, seemed OK to me (but it was daylight)

Really was a good place to go 70s and 80s since then gone down in my opinion due to, The travelling work Dodgers who said to themselves might as well be unemployed at the seaside rather than elsewhere I’ve noticed this with Blackpool as well.

Well stephen, good to watch vid, very sad how Rhyl has seemed become. I went. Over 20-30 ago, to. Tire prince raceway (horse trotting). Enjoyed that and could see lovely hills in back drop, but never ever had vacations in Rhyl. As for Rhyl only drove through or nearby to pass it. Some resorts change, or they get new ideas which don’t workout, maybe a lot unemployment, I’ve totally no idea, but very sad for those who may remember how it once was, and now a shadow of its former self. Takecare. Di. Xx

Stayed near Rhyl in a caravan some years ago.Went to the sun centre swimming pool, it was OK, but smelt a bit funny! Nice theatre though saw a couple of good rock bands on there👍👍. Unfortunately has seen better days like most seaside towns these days through lack of investment!
