The Downfall of Benllech after lots of pubs have are closed down
00:00 - 00:03 | Kids now call it "The Benny" because they can't pronounce Benllech |
00:04 - 00:05 | The last local seen in Benllech was seen walking |
00:05 - 00:07 | from 'The Wishing Well' and 'Delicatessen' |
00:08 - 00:12 | He had also been shopping at "Bryngwyn" |
00:12 - 00:15 | and believed to be on his way to the 'Bay Court' with shopping bags |
00:17 - 00:19 | A pint in The Bay Court would be nice |
00:19 - 00:21 | I'm feeling thirsty myself |
00:24 - 00:26 | Sir.... |
00:27 - 00:28 | The Bay Court.... |
00:31 - 00:33 | It was bulldozed to provide more holiday lets in Benllech |
00:34 - 00:36 | The Bay Court as we knew it is no longer there |
00:53 - 00:58 | Anyone who doesn't remember the weighing machine outside the chemist, leave the room now |
01:13 - 01:15 | Another Benllech pub has vanished |
01:15 - 01:17 | They're all bloody vanishing |
01:18 - 01:23 | The Nautilus has gone forever to make way for flats! |
01:25 - 01:28 | The Glanrafon had bars, a disco and even held boxing events |
01:29 - 01:31 | We had four garages in Benllech |
01:31 - 01:34 | Parc Bach, Milburns, Glanrafon and The Square |
01:34 - 01:37 | We even had a funfair and could buy parafin outside Banks |
01:37 - 01:40 | The only function room worth visiting is The Rhostrefor |
01:40 - 01:42 | Sir, The Rhostrefor Hotel has also been turned into flats |
01:42 - 01:46 | I know, that's why everyone now goes to The Glynllifon or Tree Tops |
01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, even those are all now flats or flattened |
01:48 - 01:52 | You will be telling me the Min y Don has gone next! |
01:53 - 01:54 | and even the Bryn Tirion |
01:56 - 01:57 | What the hell happened to "The Golden Sands"? |
01:57 - 02:00 | Has that been turned into bloody flats too? |
02:00 - 02:03 | What the hell has Benllech turned into? |
02:04 - 02:08 | And don't get me started on that Lego Land in Brynteg! |
02:08 - 02:13 | Where have all the people I knew gone? |
02:14 - 02:16 | We used have great pub crawls around Benllech |
02:17 - 02:21 | and now all the pubs are gone, people go on the piss to Menai Bridge |
02:27 - 02:29 | I miss Benllech |
02:30 - 02:34 | I miss the craic and the laughs |
02:34 - 02:36 | we could go drinking wherever we wanted |
02:41 - 02:42 | Min y Don, Golden Sands, Bryn Tirion gone |
02:43 - 02:47 | The Nautilus, The Glynllifon, The Glanrafon , The Bay Court gone |
02:48 - 02:53 | The Rhostrefor, The Tree Tops, Hafod Wyn, all gone |
02:54 - 02:56 | OK fair enough Hafod Wyn |
02:56 - 02:59 | but what about all the others? |
03:00 - 03:02 | I don't know anyone in Benllech anymore |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's ok, we can go to the Market in Llangefni |
03:14 - 03:16 | I remember The VG and the trophy shop |
03:19 - 03:23 | playing the machines in "The Sea Shell" . . . |
03:25 - 03:26 | swimming in the Tank . . . |
03:31 - 03:33 | Buying fags from the cigarette machine outside "Lloyd Williams" |
03:40 - 03:46 | There used to be a nice cafe in Parc Bach Garage |
03:46 - 03:49 | I remember Siop Tynygongl as a shop |
03:53 - 03:56 | There was a pub on that junction too . . . |
