It was the 80s and every Saturday we used to meet up outside the wimpy in Rhyl High Street. The wimpy did the best burgers I’ve ever tasted. They actually tasted of meat unlike the fast food nowadays! After eating the largest cheeseburger they had we would go look round the White Rose Centre. From what i can remember, there ...
I’m not quite sure as it was about 40 years ago when i went in there. Was Kaverns in Rhyl based. in the old ‘Shepherds’ store. I remember you used to walk through the front doors then see rows and rows of vinyl and if you kept on walking then you ended up in the video part of the shop. ...
I can still remember when Charles and Di visited Rhyl back in the 80s. It was absolutely heaving with people everywhere. MY Mum and Sister went to wait outside Woolworths in Rhyl to see them. At a very young age i didn’t believe in the Royal family so whilst everyone was waiting to see Charles and Di, i just went ...
I remember as a child the original Rhyl Library was in the town hall opposite the police station. Was a great place to go and spend some time and marvel at all the books. I remember reading on an old Rhyl forum that the library was funded by Andrew Carnegie who was one of the richest Americans ever and gave ...
Uncle Erics was a lifetime adventure when you were a kid. Stationed near the lifeboat station in Rhyl on the promenade, you used to buy your money and you could choose anything to ride that was on offer. I would race my sister round the track and then swap to a different bike or cart. We could never pass that ...
I remember growing up in Rhyl in the 80s and my Great Aunt Nell would come down every Friday on the bus from Abergele and cook LobScouse. It was a beautiful dish and would keep for days. Always used to look forward to running home from High School friday afternoon, walking in to the house and smelling that lobscouse straight ...
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 ...
I was so made up to find this image in Rhyl library about 10 years ago! My god it brought all the memories flooding back. I can’t remember where I found it, maybe some old tourism book or the likes of that. From about the age of 7 my parents purchased a flatlet house in Beechwood Road, Rhyl and it ...
