Rhyl Funfair 1962

Thanks for all the memories of the fun fair, it was a great asset to Rhyl when it was there, I live down the road from it so I remember it well, sad it’s gone

Just as I remember it. I was there 1958-1964 for holidays and loved the miniature railway. It's still there today and a great place to visit with free parking. They had four of those loco's all built in Rhyl. Billy , John , Joan and Michael and another two went to Belle Vue and Margate. Many thanks to the person who had the vision to film it.

Fabulous film. Many happy times there. Thank you. 👍🏼

18:08 Brilliant film. I remember riding on the horses, and the boats. Best of all was Prof. Green’s Punch & Judy show, especially the amazing Chinese? jugglers! A bit sad to see what Rhyl is like now, but the film brought back some very happy memories.

Wow, amazing to see Rhyl fair around the time I lived there as a kid. The Train Around The Lake! King Solomon’s Mines was what that water ride was called. Loved every bit of it. 😍

I was born 1953 use to come to Rhyl every year with my parents and younger brother, it was a great family place with everything for young and old. Got married and did the same with my ex wife and our kids. Bloody council should hang their heads in shame bet your lifes back handers were behind the demolition of it!!!!!

Wow.memories Happy.days.1960.s.

Brilliant nostalgia, we went here in 1972, stayed at Palins over the iron bridge, my main memory of the fair was the Rotor,, went on it with my two cousins Phineas, and Marcel (soon to sing with Manchester band, Sweet Sensation),, there was always loud music at the fair, the 3 songs from 1972 that always take me back were, Silver Machine, School's out, and Puppy love,,,,Fantastic memories !!!!!

Fantastic. I remember the place from the late 60s through to the 80s. I haven't been back in over 30 years and everything I've heard about the place today makes me want to leave it that way.

What an amazing piece of footage!! I was sadly still dead when this was filmed but as a kid growing up in the 90's and visiting it it doesn't look like much had changed. <3

What an absolutely fantastic piece of filming and editing for the time. Loved it, thanks for uploading. :-)

Thanks for the upload! I've been to Rhyl in the 1980's and loved it but great to see how it all started. Well put together :)

As kids we all loved this place 😃

everything looks so clean and fresh

Simply brilliant !

I was born 1964 I remember those rides well ,but it must have been the same rides in the early 70s too,we never went anywhere else growing up rhyl and towyn proberbly the same weeks aswell the old potters fortnight as was ,good memories

What a wonderful piece of film! I love it. :-)

Lovely bit of nostalgia when Rhyl had everything going for it. What would be there to film in 2016. A bridge over the Voryd that nobody uses. A desolate promenade full of half occupied buildings Streets knocked down. Hoarding galore. A lake thats just for doggy walks. No paviluon. No Queens ballroom. No floral hall. No bandstand or bike track. No Suncentre. No Tito's. High Street full of tat and aimed at the poor end of society. No quality guest houses and only one hotel that can take coach trade. No wonder Marks and Spencer called it a day. I could go on abd on but one thing is for sure Rhyl will NEVER see these days again so DCC need to get real. You cannot resurrect the dead! Thanks for bringing back some lovely memories with this film.

Went there in the late 60's. Happy memories.

I lived in abbey street in 1955 worked on Morley's walzer in 1960 to1962 such good days sad they have gone
