I absolutely loved your video! It brought a tear to my eye. I lived in Malta from 1976-1978 and remember how original and traditional it was. Upon returning many years later I have seen the beautiful, cultural architecture ripped out and replaced by modern high rise blocks (that you can see in any big city). Please, people of Malta - preserve your USP - you can NEVER get it back. Don't bash down and out rip the glorious old buildings of such a wonderful place... do them up instead.

This video brings back so many beautiful memories, l loved the way it was but, it has changed so much l would rather hang on to the memories of a time gone by. Thank you so much for sharing your video. 😊😊😊😊🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Those were the days my friend & will never see them again, wish i could turn the time back.

I really wish malta could go back to these days where barely any blocks of apartments were constructed and any cranes were visible.

Lovely memories use to go swimming and worked there too when i was teenager and when i got married use to take my children by the beach like my mother and father use to take use when we wrere kids thank you for this lovely vedeo

Those were the days,it's necessary to change but I think we asegerate alot,thanks for the videos you put for us to see

Thankyou for posting this lovely video.Reminds me of my first ever visit to Malta,20 years ago,and still visiting to this day.

Thanks alot for these short Maltese views films,how wonderful Malta was without many buildings and cars

I was 25,yrs old.. Preluna htel was d highest building... More public spaces.. More double parking.. No traffic caos. . No local wardens.. Less cars.. Not many fast dangerous cars.... Maybe more fumes from old cars and old buses.. But more. Tranquility... Easier living although lower salaries... So overall much better... Wish you all a happy 2021..

As a six-year old in 1950 I lived on the third floor of a four-storey block of flats opposite Fortizza fort. It was then the tallest building on Sliema seafront. How things have clearly changed! We used to bathe from a narrow strip of shingle/sand beneath the ancient pier which I see still remains.

Really cool, interesting video. Despite the many changes, I do love Malta as it carries an important place in my heart and I've been noticing the changes that are happening all over the island, but especially in Sliema recently, so seeing what it was like 25 years ago is fascinating!

Use to go sliema secondry school and to the crash see the kids lovely memories

My 1st visit to Sliema was 1980, back then Times Square was The Grenadier, I think. Sliema was and is a bit special. I guess time moves on. Great video.

Life seemed so simple back then. Thanks for posting this one..

Great footage ...will never be the same .....

I walked up Tower Road many times when I lived in Malta, based in St Andrews Barracks we often frequented Sliema for drinks and such. Wonderful memories, I hope to visit Malta this coming summer, beautiful rendition of this song...

Wunderbar, auch die musik! war dort im urlaub im hotel metropol, dingli street, zu der zeit - la tigne war noch badefelsen - schöne erinnerung! vielen dank!

Great video! I lived in Tower Road in 82-84 after my parents moved to Malta from Scotland as my Dad was working in Libya..i have wonderful memories of this place! Would love to see more videos if you have them :)

My wife and I have fond memories of SLiema as our eldest child was born in the Blue Sisters Hospital Sliema in July 1979

you are right = it is a beautiful place or perhaps, was. Yes I have more footage of Malta for that period and will include soon. Thanks for your comment

Beautiful place.clean streets.lovelyvideo.

Sliema as I've never seen it before......

Il-vera ħadt gost narah, bil-mużika b'kollox :) Grazzi!

Just how I remember it...

things have changed in one way but not much in others....your Dad, Walter , should remember this....say hello to him from Joe Bonello

thank you for your comment much appreciated

thank your for your kind comment

We had a lovely nanny called Grace but lost touch with her on our return to the UK. I've long wondered what became of her.

Thomas - thanks for video of Sliema. What's the music called? It haunts in a sad and dignified sort of way.

thanks for your kind comment

1982 or 1983?

Wow manuel dimech street 2 way

My gosh we were running around with flint stone cars back then ... yes it looked all run down but still nicer than today's high rise extremely overcrowded cities .. i totally avoid these areas these days ... it hurts my eyes its so ugly... looking more and more like hong kong ...
