Thank you for taken me down memory lane. To the city I was brought up in. I went to Burrington sec mod back in the late 60s and early 70s I lived in Honicknowle.But I bet a lot of things have changed since then please keep doing the videos. Home is were the heart is and mine is there. Will come back one day.🤗
Thanks for the memories. All very different then.
I lived in Vauxhall street flats as a child and used to love getting up early to watch the fishing boats come in and unload their catch to sell in the fish market there.
Remember too Jackas the bakers in Southside street where you could get a bag of yesterdays buns for 3d ! Used to swim in the harbour too ,getting changed in the porch of the customs house .
Watched Robert Lenkiewitz painting that amazing mural, I even knew one or two of the characters in the picture as he used local hippies as well as his tramp friends for faces, so sad it has now disappeared.
A lot of slum clearance at the end of the 19th C got rid of the old Elizbethan (16th C) town, but the real damage was done in WW2, but it did also do a lot of slum clearance. Shame the new town wasn't rebuilt in a more traditional style, that would be timeless. I remember when I ws about 5 yrs old, coming back from the old Green Shled stamps shop in Plymouth city centre, seeing a ghost of a young lad there when I was young, he was dressed in a reddish brown jacket and short trews, with reddish brown leather boots, and fair, crew cut. Looked like something from the mid 19th C, he looked totally lost, and my mum does not remember anyone being there. From Cornwall, not far away.
Lol I saw "uploaded 7 years ago" and was expecting it to be from 2012/2013. My brain is so behind I swear. 😆
Very nice place.💐🏵
Very good
I live in Plymouth, it's a pity that we've been saddled with a succession of low-quality councils over many years, they couldn't run a whelk stall let alone a great famous city, for example there's not even a Mayflower replica moored in the harbour to delight tourists..:)
I could not age more they h
save taken away a lot of the heritage and are holding back creative in the closed shop minds.
The are breaking down Plymouth culture very quickly in 2021
Min 6.27 that is the Turkish flag. My Country.
Still it's revision
I've seen things in my toilet that looked like Plymouth before.
God your voice is depressing
