Thank you❤

Pontypridd now can be summed up in two words bland and boring. Thanks, nice to see contrast.

Thank you!

A lovely video with beautiful Celtic sounding music, thank you. I got married in St Ives and always take my holidays in Cornwall.

Cheers Taff

shame you left out the most stunning part of the road to Brecon - between Story Arms and Libanus

I love Wales came here at 13 to live with my Welsh dad from my native American Choctaw nation, had a great Education and people were and are very nice to know lived in the valleys and they always helped each other.

Thank you!

Thanks Taffy. I do rather enjoy the Welsh ones, me

I so enjoy these videos - thank you!

Eine tolle Serie von dir - ich genieße es sehr ! Gruß Konrad.

I’m a coalminers daughter, my dad was a miner who worked in many pits including Polmaise ( first pit out in the 80s strike, last pit back, should have listened to them) here in Scotland. He died at 63 from pit related illness. I had two great grandfathers that died in pit collapses. 45 years this year and I stand proud having had the pleasure of having a hero of a father. Cut me down the middle and I will be inscribed with ‘Coalminers daughter and proud!✊🏼❤️

Always a pleasure to see the lost Cornwall....thank you...also can you tell me the lovely haunting backtrack to your video??

Very nice presentation. Thanks

My great uncle was killed by the White Rose pub on Christmas day back in the 30s. I think of him every time I drive past.

Nice one Taffy. Of all the English towns, I've probably visited Bristol more than any other, it being so close to Wales. It's a neat place, with a lot of interesting architecture. Those shots of Clifton suspension bridge were well cool. I still remember the first time I saw that bridge from the Avon valley below. What an acomplishment that was spanning that chasm, eh? Ismambard Kingdom Brunel did a heck of a job on that one Cheers butt

😇

Always a pleasure. Thank you. 👍

My grandad was Welsh and took us there as kids , stopped at Rest bay , old miners rest home , not sure if its still there, we loved it , so as i got older and could drive , me and my brother came down from Yorkshire again, this time camping. I will come again one day , now im a grandad lol

Righton? I'm 65 years old now. At age 8 years I heard my first English accent: 1968. I went to Mylor Primary School. I got dropped off from the farm one morning and my mates were going mad. They said aliens had lande, killed Esketh Williams and taken over Esketh William's shop! "Hell !!!" Turned out Esketh had retired and people from Birmingham had bought it. Nice people, too. Now, in 2024 I can walk up through Mylor and be damn lucky if I hear a Cornish accent spoke. Seems like a lot more aliens, "Cuckoos", have migrated here, turfed a lot of the local "birds" outa their "nests" . Many stop for 6 months of the year, before flitting off for the remaining 6 months. More of them are roosting here permanently though. 🤔Global "warming" I spect. Bleddy things!🤐

I moved to wales at 13 to be with my dad from my native American Choctaw nation and i live it 🎉 great people great history and culture

These photos are really fascinating.

These are lovely. I’ve visited Cornwall many times and can relate to the areas 👍Thank you .

Very well done, thanks!

Nice one Taff. I enjoy your videos a lot, I look forward to more. Cheers butt

I wonder how these villages will look 100 years from now. Always fascinated by these videos - many thanks!

I moved from my native American Choctaw nation to live with my Welsh dad at 13 i lived in bargoed went to aberbargoed school later to Cambridge university 😂 i love wales great people history culture

Great time in Cardiff in the 80s 🎉😊

Thanks

Sehr schön, diese alten Bilder zu sehen - wir kennen den Ort in heutiger Zeit, und er hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Beste Grüße, Konrad.

Why can’t I invent a Time Machine

Nice one Taffy. Good views of all of Aberystwyth from Pen Dinas, lovely place, Aberystwyth. My cousin went to uni there

Some miner misstakes, Penzance and Penryn are towns not villages, The Frist and Last House at Lands End was written up as The Frist and Last inn and The Frist and Last inn was written up as The Frist Hotel, do wish whoever did this did their home work and got their facts correcr😢😢

So many memories. Excellent video.

Towns over in EU keep their charm. Meanwhile, the charming towns in America get torn down and turned into strip malls and highways

Cool vid, Taffy. Really enjoyed that, I may need to go see it next time I'm near Bristol

Hi Konrad, Just watched your video , excellent. Colin

Hi Konrad, thank you for your comment. Yes it was a great undertaking to tow it back to Bristol, and an amazing restoration. Best wishes from a wet and windy Wales

Wir haben das Schiff auch in Bristol besichtigt - erstaunlich war, dass aus einem Wrack so ein tolles Schiff wieder entstehen konnte. Sehr beeindruckend und wunderbar gestaltet. Dein Video ist eine komplette Dokumentation!! Super!! Gruß Konrad. ua-cam.com/video/BfFhYmab9Qs/v-deo.html - mein Video !

Great video. I was in Cornwall in march.its an amazing place. I highly recommend helson lizard point and lands end. My ggs are from Cornwall. Penzance area My 2xg grandfather was on a shipwreck in 1863 a few days befor he got married at Madron .the ship was called Scotia.

Clever how you have had the past fading away as the present comes to the fore. They didn’t have much in the past but what they did have was a sense of community which is sadly lacking today. Great video.

remember the story of gellert.so clear,so sad. some mistakes we can't take back.

Cheers Taffy. Your vids get me right in the old hiraeth

i am from Cornwall,NY

Schön zu sehen, wie du Trier erlebt hast . . . Gruß Konrad.

I'm from California but my mother's side of the family is from Wisconsin. My mother's mother's side of the family is all from Cornwall. We have a lot of family history there near Launceston. That area used to be part of Devon as I have a prayer book my great-great-great-grandfather wrote inside in 1834 and he said he was from North Petherwin, Devon. I believe the border was changed around 1980 and the area became part of Cornwall again.

I was born in Abergavenny in 1946, now living in New zealand. Seeing your photos of the town and surrounds makes it feel like yesterday that I was wandering the streets. A lovely town with an amazing history. Thanks.

I was a Nurse in Bridgend when we had the flood on night duty. . A few of us lived in Maesteg. They sent a fire engine to get us over the bridge , as we went over the bridge the shop widows caved in..we started walking home after a 12hr shift. A kind man stopped & got us all into his car. Never forget that..l have lived in Africa for most of my life. All my family are still there..Thanks for the memories. 😊🇿🇦

I may be in the present, however my mind is with my memories, firmly in the past! Thank you for the memories!

It's nice to see most of the architecture intact. Here in Cardiff they like to tear the place up.
