Not obvious at the time was knowledge of the international stadium proposed for Sandy Bay following the 1948 CPO for recreation & leisure, if it had been built the railway would definitely have been saved, sadly the CPO was just a fraud to obtain land in a councils name, in time building on it, ironically it’s taken 76 years to get to that point, the decisions to build now controlled by money as opposed to any laws regarding fraud, theft or malfeasance 😢
That only just appeared on my home page, but it brought back some lovely memories for a Welsh ex-pat. I liked Porthcawl as kid, although I only went there by train once- quite a slow journey from Cardiff, so we were generally more likely to go to Barry Island on the train or Western Welsh bus. The Coney Beach fairground had a great water chute which I loved to ride on. The beach itself was always windy and felt cold even in the middle of summer. The sea would not have felt colder if it had icebergs floating offshore. Whenever I could, I would have a ride on the miniature railway. Was one of the locos called "Coney Queen"? It was such a long time ago.
It’s been discovered that mr Ellis remained in Porthcawl to advance the Danygraig estate, though it may have been halted due to WW2 as the original plan was never completed.
The 4th December research uncovers a surprise, news that a massive Ponzi scheme engulfed Porthcawl, the lure of a quick profit lured many in, the early investors getting healthy dividends and ultimately the tail end speculators suffering serious losses. This new discovery may have been their downfall if it attracted the attention of the King, keeping all this jiggerypokery out of the papers would have been impossible, my gut feeling that there was much more to discover proved to be right 😊
The documented history in books shows sir TGJ. buying the 256 acres off sir Raleigh Grey, so that’s what created all the problems we face today, the evidence to fill in all the gaps virtually complete, it appears the web of lies goes to the top, involving MPs and several government departments, winning a case of fraud with so much corruption at every turn is quite a challenge 🙏🏻
I hope a few understand the timeline, there are a core group determined to discredit as much of the evidence as possible, what you need to grasp is the lying from all sides to maintain the secrecy that each faction was desperately wanting to disguise, the prime example, only realised from the SALT MINE evidence is the anomaly of PUDCs communication with Whitehall seeking a grant to buy the freehold on Sandy Bay (56 acres ) to further house building ( again evidence PUDC knows nothing of the 1930 conveyance) . Newton Estates seeing another opportunity to make money go on to claim compensation for the undervaluation of the 56 acres, gaining £250,000 in todays money, partly provided by the ratepayers 🤦🏻, the rest from government, and so the saga continued, the Kings map continued to be locked away until greed stuck its head above the trench to get shot at, the blood equal to pages & pages of damaging information, all for the sake of greed - KARMA 🤣
Ever wondered at the search for explanations for how such very large stones were shaped, transported hundreds of miles, lifted into place and fitted together with such accuracy 🧐. Personally I can only come to one conclusion, but sadly they don’t appear to be around anymore 😢. Or are they still here, 🫣
I call a Crown beach because historically the whole expanse is Crown owned, a fraud in 1936 basically high treason gave ownership to Newton Estates ( sir TGJ ) the story covered in many of my other videos.
Great presentation! Re. the miniature railway. Both locomotives still exist, there is a society dedicated to bringing the railway back, they now own Silver Jubilee which requires full restoration. I believe that the BCBC are being spectacularly unhelpful.
Bridgend County Borough Council have absolutely destroyed the county. They have built houses on such a scale, the once separate villages are now like conjoined twins. No gaps between the villages, just one big mass of ugly houses, with nowhere for children to play, because all the parks have been removed. In Pencoed, they enticed the owners of 3 bed semi’s in Cardiff to sell their homes and move into 4 bed detached homes for similar, or often less money. The houses they insist we need are 4 bed homes, whilst what we actually need is more 2/3 bed homes with gardens, and parks and village ponds etc. No extra Doctors, Dentists or Hospital beds, just fast food outlets on a scale that’s unbelievable. I can’t go buy a pair of jeans in the town centre, which is always my yardstick how well a town is doing. The town centre is an eyesore, the council should hang its head in shame for what they’ve allowed it to become.
Make the most of the Fairground its been decided that is to make way for flats and houses. You can guess how much they will cost a sea view will be very appealing to people with money .
Money is exactly what is, and will shape Porthcawl in the future as it did through the decades with fraud after fraud drawing in the worst of councillors, now with all concerned waving I’ll gotten deeds and with support from two governments the saga will not end well 😕
Tragic to think that greed is what shaped Porthcawl over the last 100 years , that same mindset and confidence in ‘getting away with it’ continues, maybe my research and ‘luck’ will reach the right people soon and the Kings wishes honoured, 94 years late .
Information shared by BCBC added to information regarding a ‘management group’ created by a deputy head of BCBC in 2005-7 would indicate a consortium of landowners of which BCBC considers itself owner of approximately 100 acres of land that was supposed to have been conveyed to PUDC in trust in 1930, if they insist on ‘owning’ public land in ‘trust’ for the people under King George Vs terms then the no building or restriction of travel over the land command should be honoured. A serious fraud was committed by sir TG Jones with reams of evidence should it go into court for a final decision. The more senior long term residents will have opinions on some of the characters that formed the ‘Management Committee’ 🤔
Hopefully you’ll have seen ‘A Porthcawl Weekend’ , how the car parks were chock a block, the beaches packed with visitors, the BOWL full of campers and the Truck Gathering bringing in even more. This scenario will, weather permitting, repeat itself for the Elvis Festival, in 30 years time just a vague memory to most children of today, whilst the story outlined in this video buried if not officially recognised as fact or subjected to a court case given a small mention in the media 😕
Lovely George, drones in Margam are not allowed apparently. Unless of course you get to the high ground and out of sight and no one knows you are there :)
The evicted caravan owners in 2000 had every right to be angry, just a shame these revelations have come too late for them, but not for the present residents , sadly many blinded by BS and an irrational belief that COUNCILS are there to serve the people’s interests 🤦🏻. We have a kakistocracy in charge of a magnitude beyond comprehension.

Lovely to have the memories Barry have to live while you can 🤩
I've just watched your Porthcawl (directors cut) video and now found this one- Excellent👍

Dr John Campbell a hero of mine just released this 14th December - ruclips.net/video/wt0jDlcnC-w/видео.htmlsi=1bgX6HeYqAQ21U4P
Just an opinion but wouldn’t it be a logical move for Park Dean to purchase the fairground rides and install on maybe Rhych Point or Newton Point 🤔
If you pay attention to the Esplanade Hotel in the video you should see the change from bay windows to balconies through the decades.
Shame they ditched the train service in the early 60's.

What an excellent little video
SUPERBE SUPERBE SUPERBE !!!

Does anybody have photos of the dolphins
Very very good video thanks you like 👍🤩
beautiful video as per usual George.

Thanks for posting 😊
Sadly the average watch time for this one is 3.5 minutes, so the bullet misses the target 80% of the time 😕
My first ever film my father took me to watch the sound of music in the cinema in porthcawl
First upload was 1020p now this should be 4K

Glad you enjoyed it
All different now

Anyone know why there’s an asset protection agreement drawn up between BCBC and new owners of Park Dean 🤔
I used to live in the house that was demolished

Some cracking shots there George.
Lovely family video George.
Some good drone footage in that as well as some cracking ground shots and pics.
There are remnants of tarmac surfaces on some periphery roads, a sure sign journeys around the estate were enjoyed in a carriage without stony bumps.
I enjoyed watching that. The lovely Welsh countryside.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great stuff George - yes "freedom" to be said in a William Wallace like voice.
Nice George
Great video Barry, where was this track and is it ok for me ~Landy?
Lovely George, drones in Margam are not allowed apparently. Unless of course you get to the high ground and out of sight and no one knows you are there :)
Nice George. Good filming as per usual.
Many thanks!
We used to holiday there for two weeks every year when I was a child in a little caravan on Newton Point, it was called Bella Donna. Great times.
Nice video George.
86 views in one year 🤔, keep sharing 👍🏻
