I remember it being on the other side of Church Street (70s/80s)
Where I live there used to be a row of 5 pubs next door to each other, these were known as the 5 sisters. My uncle was the Landlord of one of them in the 90’s named The Dublin Packet. Sadly only one of the pubs remains open today, these Dublin Packet stands empty. The 1st pub in the row (pictured) was The Blossoms, this closed down early 2000’s after the Landlord got murdered on the premises after an argument with an unruly customer.
This is how they look today
Can you remember the 5 names please?
The Blossoms, The Globe (which I only knew as a chip shop
), The Sydney (which was bought by the Dublin Packet and made into a larger pub), The Dublin Packet, The Holland (the only one that remains open as a pub today).
I reckon the city was a round the clock party when all the ships were in and unloaded from around the world. Different sailors, languages, boozers, cafes, flop houses, brothels. A never ending conveyor belt of commodities and people and energy. Hard hard graft working the docks, keeping the city flowing, policing it must have been a gigantic task.The Blossoms, The Globe (which I only knew as a chip shop
I live in a small town, but years ago it was an extremely busy and bustling port town. There was also a large fleet of trawlers and plenty of local well paid employment…. How times have changed. It’s still a busy port but the road infrastructure was changed a few years ago now so all port traffic doesn’t even enter the town, local industry is non existent after the Aluminium plant and Wylfa power station shut, this was a death knell to the island as a whole. The biggest money maker here now is the tourism, luckily it’s a stunning island which attracts lots of visitors throughout the year. We also have regular Cruise Ships docking for a few hours and the rich Americans and Chinese get to spend their cash on I

Wylfa nuclear power plant plans go ahead, creating Anglesey jobs
Three small modular reactors are confirmed for the site, with the potential for up to eight.

I'd splice your avatar onto Homer asleep at his safety station in the plant here if I had time. Forgive me.
I know that’s coming, but sadly it won’t come with the promised number of jobs here. The plant is essentially built in china I think and then shipped over in parts to construct here. So some jobs, but not many.Your wish is my command.

It means local energy, and jobs with supplement jobs. The chain so to speak. Security up the yazoo. It gets to be a trailblazer, first of a lot of similar sites. Means regeneration and high skilled operatives.
Hopefully it’s a huge success, god knows the island needs it.
I got driven round Trac Mon at the end of the 90's and invited back to have a go on a motorbike. One of the best weekends I've ever had. The varied weather, meant it felt like being on a different planet. Clear and sunny to storm at high sea conditions. So exposed. Love RAF Valley as well (from Rhosneigr). Cant get as close as you used to be able anymore. And there's a famous chippy who's name I forget. Hmmm, time.
