We went there in 1960, round about my 9th birthday,and again in 1965, and had a lovely time on both occasions. The footage inside the floral hall brought back memories. I was enchanted by it, even at that age, but I suppose that along with the other things that made this such a lovely place it was too tame for the modern generation. I happened to go through it just recently and they have destroyed the place. It now looks like the arse-end of the world.

Such a shame Rhyl hasn't kept all the beautiful charm of a sea-side town that it once had. Great video, thanks for sharing, nice to see Rhyl in its hay day.

Yes, ‘The Unforgiven’ was first shown in April 1960 in USA; I don’t know the release date in UK. Some of the footage may have been shot a couple of years later and earlier. The Rose Day scenes in Part 2 may be from 1957.
