The Best Burgers in Rhyl back in the 80s!  I think i used to have a halfpounder with cheese and it would fill me up for days! If i remember rightly ‘The Wimpy’ used to be the old ‘Forte Cafe’.  Would have been about 1984ish when we used to go there.  It was a sports shop last time i was ...

If you lived in Rhyl in the 80s you and your mates spent most of your free time in the arcades. Whether playing the best fruit machine ever ‘super lineup’, or doing the ratty gambles on ‘rat race’ or ‘chase the ace’. Although always making a loss, I remember all the arcades and also good friends that used to hang ...

I’ve been trying to find out for weeks what this building was called. I actually thought it was a ‘nunnery’ but just found out that it was a Nurses Quarter and Training rooms but was known by the locals as ‘nunnery’. I was only young in the 80s when it was all closed down and ready to be knocked down ...

Went to Mexico a few years back and ended up on one of those pay to view tours. Apologies that I can’t remember the name of the places. Had a great time visiting the monuments and listening to the tour guide who was very passionate and informative about the history. In the afternoon we were going to swim in an ...

I can still remember my first trainers I purchased in Rhyl in the 80s. I used to walk past these beautiful trainers every day after school. Had two work 2 months with my Dad at the age of 13 to buy them. It was like walking on clouds until the next pair I saw that I wanted! Got them from ...

I remember buying ‘Vienna – Ultravox’ on a 7″ single and it was the first vinyl single I had ever bought. My sister got the single ‘Shaddap your face’ which was a comedy record and it kept the oh so classic ‘Vienna’ off the top spot 🙁 ...

We used to love that Cafe in Rhyl. I think I must have been about 12 and my sister 10. In the Summer Holidays our dear Aunt Nell used to catch the bus down from Rhyl on a Friday and we used to either meet her off the Crosville Bus in the old bus station in Rhyl (which is now ...

Liked this addition even less than the 2000 Millenium sign. Not sure what year this came down but it was so great going back and seeing the Spaceship Earth with nothing attached for the first time!ep ...

I think this was in 2001 was most excited when we visited Kennedy Space Centre to see they were getting ready for a launch and the shuttle was on the pad. We were all really disappointed that we missed the launch though! ...
