Thanks for the memories. I lived in llandod for several years. This video incorporated so much and so much of the streets and features of Llandod - that it felt like being taken on a real journey. Again: thanks for taking the time and effort.
Thank you for you kind comment, I am glad it brought back good memories for you.
This is a blast from the past I used the live there back in the 80's. It hasn't changed much apart from the likes of Tesco's. Lots of happy memories. Thanks for taking me back in time.
I lived there in 90s 😃. Your right not a lot has changed. Glad you liked the videos.
Used to be chip shop there on Park Crescent back in the 1980s don’t know if it’s still there not been in for 37 years, when I left the area.
I can't recall a chippy on Park Crescent, I was about Llandod during that period. A long time ago though, the Cantonese is still there though. You remember the La Roma cafe?

Just checked on street view, my mistake it was on the High St opposite the car park and railway line.
@@jackkruese4258 That one is still there, not that I have been in there for years. I recall using it decades ago and not finding very good but it has won awards since.
@@WelshRob1964
Ha ha it’s still there, last time I was in there I was 16 and now I’m 53.
@@jackkruese4258 Your still a youngster! 😆 Its been a year since I was there and missing it!
At the start, it's not "Princess Avenue" but should be "Princes Avenue"
So it is! Well you learn something everyday 👍
@@WelshRob1964 In fairness, I should add that I too used to think it was "Princess" - lived here for years before noticing that it wasn't!
@@philuribe7863 Me too, I lived there for more years than I care to recall lol. We always just called it round the lake lol.
Thanks for posting. I plan to stop in Llandrindod for a bite to eat on my way from Scotland to Cornwall in July. I like the victorian architecture, makes the place look a lot larger than it is, population wise.
I am pleased you like the video, it makes posting it worthwhile
Lovely vid, LW is a strange? place, in the middle of the country, miles & miles from anywhere, but it has loads of big buildings feels like your are in a big city?
You've summed up LW spot on, it has a wierd charm. No as good as it used to 20yrs ago but still ok.
It was a Victorian spa town, so the buildings were built as guest houses and hotels. That's why they are all so big and fancy.
@@bertspeggly4428 It was indeed a spa town hence the Wells name but a lot of it was Edwardian built. It was still alive between the wars and big in aviation believe it or not, that's why the Auto Palace has Aircraft upon it. The town boomed again in WW2, though the Metropole hotel were convinced we would loose and sold everything, I wish we still had the furniture that was bought at the auction from there. The town was dead for many years after the war and when I moved there it was a ghost town and could literally play in Temple St, try that now lol. Powys County Council HQ is what boosted it back. Llandod is a town that really shouldn't exist but somehow just does lol.
