  • With youtubers slamming this aging Victorian seaside town, I dig deeper and explore the businesses, architecture and characters of Weston-Super-Mare to find out... is it really as bad as they say it is?
    The answer might surprise you...

    🧡 SPECIAL THANKS 🤎
    To all the residents, buskers and business owners of Weston-Super-Mare who helped to make not only this film, but the life of your beautiful town shine through ❤️
    To the members of the Birnbeck Regeneration Trust, who gave me a great sense of purpose at a time when I had none 😊
    To Lesley, for all those free cups of tea 😉

    27:10 - A Heartfelt Farewell
    🪶 POEM 🪶
    (Written by Infinity Alexander)
    There’s something romantic about this place,
    With it’s cobbled stone pathways and rusted gates.
    The sandstone sentinels that look out to sea,
    At Anchor Head, they stand silently.
    Spare some change for the artists,
    Who spend their lives here.
    Entertaining, painting, providing for all who come near.
    In a town so old and rich in it’s deep history,
    You’ll find secret alleyways of yesterday’s mystery.
    Though many look down on it with a scrutinizing glare,
    What remains here, I’ve found, is a lively town with flare.
    So go exploring and get lost in it’s ware and tear,
    And you may find more character in Weston-Super-Mare.

    Great video. Nice to see some positivity. I went on Birnbeck Pier when it was still open in the 1980s. Wish I took some photos. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Paul.

    Thank you for showing a unique side of my home town.😀I love living here.There are good and bad points,like anywhere,but
    Weston is definitely on the up with money being spent on rejuvination,especially of Birnbeck Pier and shop fronts.😊

    Reggie Perrin plus a camper van! What great taste. Weston-super-Mare is a crazy, unique and wonderful place. Thank you for sharing this. I think a second visit would open up even more wonders.

    Infinity, I'm a wsm immigrant from near Bath. I couldn't agree with you more. You get it. I love this place for all of the reasons you document, plus many more besides. You're so refreshing in your positivity about this place - your film brought a little moisture to my eye. Bravo. 👏

    Thank you! If I hadn’t been looking at the new signage today for Birnbeck Pier I would have missed out on this delightful film. Loved Orlando too, mine was called Jezebel.

      Thanks for tuning in! Was your camper a Renault Trafic too? Ulendo is his name by the way, it's a Chichewa word for 'journey'😊

      @@ChartingCourse Ulendo is a much more appropriate name. Yes my camper was a Renault Trafic. Autosleeper conversion. She was very beige. Gone but never forgotten. Have passed your video onto a few people, hoping you’ll reach a new audience!
