Rhyl in my view has always been run down & looked shabby & lockdown made things worse & caused place's to close down & as far as I know Wales had a more harder lockdown than England did, I live in Birmingham.

BEAUTIFUL STOKE DON'T LISTEN TO THE LOONEY LEFT

STOKE IS VERY NICE

The front of Rhyl was a nice place yes...but Rhyl itself on the back roads and the estates has always been a sh** hole

I visited Nantwich in November and absolutely loved it, it's beautiful, l can't wait to visit again and see how it looks during the summer, it's fabulous

Nice. Thank you

C'mon man! I lived, grew up and worked in Birrmingham City centre. Show it on a week day with opening hours! so we can see the reality!

All the towns are getting smaller unfortunately ❤

…interesting vid… Birmingham is a lively city…

Rush hour in Warrington town centre. A dying town.

These scenes are repeated in towns across Britain. Is the main reason the fact that most people now have a smartphone and/or home computer and shop online to minimise their expenditure on clothes, gifts, etc?

Well its time to rely on each other instead of the rich , its time to be yourself instead of what you buy from the rich , if they turn the lights out use torches, your going to love the view of the night time sky, don't be afraid of love like naughty Christians

lovely walk, thanks. Visiting there today from Hereford, but not sure if we have time to walk around this area. Thanks for the tour. :-)

Oh wow what an incredible place looks like one place to visit one day

in the 1980s I used to deliver eggs around there, footpaths were spilling on to the roads, Great Days,

Lets go window shopping . Oh dear

Id be too embarresed keeping my business going in that dump of a shopping centre..or going on a shopping trip

Traffic warden, Council Cameras, Parking Meters everywhere in the Town, When we went to Rhyl in the Late 70s and early 80s, Park my car Anywhere

I can't believe the Thai restaurant has gone!

Loving your content….subscribed❤👍

Rhyl needs 1000s of imigrants to suc seed

It's called levelling up the majority of the working class havent any disposable income due to greedy corporations and a massive tax burden

I went Stafford few years ago I could see the cracks starting to appear but this is a joke

This reminds me of the 80’s boom and bust era. Our government and the G7 have just given Ukraine $50 billion to carry on killing and getting killed. Whilst our citizens are suffering and cities becoming ghost towns.

Don't worry, there will be an influx of Turkish barbers all fronted by the Albanian Mafia shortly, in those empty Rhyl High Street shops! Not to mention the "Cash Only!" car washes that are springing up everywhere🤫🤫🤫

This was predicted after shuting the country down for almost two years

What a shame used to be a nice place. 😮

It's not just Rhyl that has become a ghost town,it's happening the length and breadth of the UK,people's shopping habits have changed,on line shopping is massive now.Also gready landlords and high business rates and shoplifting have forced once viable businesses to close because lack of profits.

absolutely shocking isn't it, I'm from stoke born n Bred😢 the country should be ashamed of itself.

I Ran Joxer Brady's in the late 90s, as relief for sickness.. Also Satchmo's on other corner. I found the people deserved nothing, of those I met..

Council and the utilities got to greedy what we are witnessing is the end result Nationally.

For a county town it's an absolute disgrace...

Were all paying the highest rates of Council Tax ever, but what the hell are they spending it on? They have have let Rhyl become a complete and utter crap hole......

Another Tory success story.

I was born in Stafford and left there in 2008 but growing up I loved that town and seeing this video is very upsetting I used to work at the apollo cinema but have not been back there since 2008..

Betting shops, pie shops and charity shops, and food banks, that's all there is. Tory broken Britain. 💩💩💩🧀🐷🚣‍♀️🚣‍♀️🚣‍♀️.

WHAT A LOVELY DUMP

OMG, I was there last week………what a disgrace! Full of “RHYL BILLIES”

I think your filming to close to the buildings, gets a little irritating or is it just me. 🙄🙄🙄

Anyone remember the song rhylsville 🤔😆😆(christ im old🤣👍 .. .

He's either showing national chains that closed down or shops that hadn't opened and the red+white door is the old market the new was near completion just 40 foot to the left should of opened now but the operator went bankrupt and every large building project needs an logistics company to operate the site . .the post office has moved,but nearly every high street is like this because of the internet i wouldn't pay a £10 more because its local i haven't the money but high street rot set in a long time ago like 15/20 years ago,rhyl had a millets, marks &sparks,burtons,peacocks,wilcos,co/op,lots of big chain retailers for a little high street theres probably a few ive forgotten closed years ago...rhyl is trapped between chsnge does it still go with candy floss all that jazz or social engineer it's self (gentrification)...things have changed this is death of the high street as we know it and rhyls always had problems and councils all over the uk are in debt some have gone bankrupt this is a reality we just have to face it🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💪❤️❤️❤️.......

It's that Sh**t that the mask war mongering lot aren't even out there to represent.. Oh well. Some places are safe as they say and "happy as a PIG in s**t"... I'm thinking of moving there

Sad , f...king sad . The British sickness . As our EU . friends refer to this .

Sad to see. Although online shopping was always going to impact the high street, politicians have made things worse by not shifting tax rates more away from shops and onto internet retailers.

Close the border or it will be come like Pakistan.

The UK is now a toilet.

😎

Any resemblance with the hollow Tory rhetoric is pure coincidence

Total sadness. 😢😢

I used to come here in the late 70's/early 80's when I first got my driving licence and I recognise much of this. I kept coming back because it was cheap, but even then I knew it was a dung-hole. Looking at this video, it seems even worse now and appears to have no redeeming features at all. Some of the architecture does indicate a kind of long forgotten 'opulence' (perhaps mid-19th century) from when many seaside resorts sprung up like Blackpool, Morecambe, Brighton etc. which are, sadly, not much better these days. One exception is, perhaps, Llandudno which caters mostly to an older generation and remains largely very pleasant with clean streets, minimal graffiti, an excellent assortment of book shops, cafes, restaurants, most of which are 'disabled friendly'.
