This is the Swansea I was born in and grew up in. I was 3 when this was filmed. You passed within a few feet of my wonderful grandparents' house on Port Tennant Road, my heart stopped when you turned onto it and I saw it as I did when I was very young. You stopped just a few doors up from my auntie and uncle's house on Danygraig Road. Thank you so much for posting this, it brought a tear to my eye

God it's so weird seeing the old walkbridge going over to the Leisure Centre without the new Arena and stuff. It hasn't changed massively, but this has been one hell of a blast from the past to watch. Thank you for posting!

Seeing this, you forget how much has changed in nearly 30 years (not the weather!!) This was filmed the week before I quit my job as a part timer in Debenhams and started the job I still do today. Oystermouth hasn't changed much but the transformation of the area around the old leisure centre is amazing. Lovely to see this!

It certainly was during the seventies, eighties and early nineties when I was living and drinking in Swansea. If you wanted the best pint of “Worthy” dark in the seventies, then you would have needed to visit The Jersey Arms when it was being run by “Shrevo”. He and it were famous for the Worthy dark and customers came from miles around just to taste it. Oh the good old days.

@alanc286 thanks for your info here in the midlands "mild" or "dark" was the main beer for many years and in some ways still is I used to drink in a pub in birmingham called the "white swan" and there main beer was ansells mild they literally sold thousands of pints every week and it would be lined up on the bar for when the punters came in after mass on a Sunday it would just be topped up then and it was absolutely gorgeous people would come for miles to drink it! We also had m+b mild and highgate mild all literally superb as you say "oh the good old days"!! God I miss them!
