You are sure this is Gt Yarmouth in Norfolk ???????? Live local and the GY I see everyday is a scruffy, run down drug dealers blot on the Norfolk landscape
Ok
Thanks Tim. The drone shots are really useful. 🙂👍
I have lived close to and visited Great Yarmouth for most of my life and remember going to most of the attractions and when the waterways had lights featuring nursery rhyme characters on the islands making it a magical place to be for a child in the 50s. This is a great ,comprehensive look at the seafront and I have been very impressed by the good commentary . Thank you!
Went on holiday with my mum and dad every year from the early 60's to 70's,have so so many happy memories of those wonderful carefree days,couldn't wait to get to the pleasure beach and the roller coaster,i think 7 times in a row was my max.Took my dear mum back after my dad died,i could see she was full of memories.It all changed and like this wicked world today life is crap.Nothing though can take our good times away.
Thanks for sharing john
I also spent a few very happy holidays is Great Yarmouth, every August from around mid 1960's to 1975. We visited my grandmother who lived near the old Southtown station. Nan died in 1975 and I didn't return til many years later, with my wife. I showed her all the old sites and found a lot was the same, including Joyland, with the snails ride !
Love your videos. I use to holiday as a child with my family in the mid seventies and eighties in the area. Staying in California. I remember going to the top of the Oasis tower and watching shows at the Windmill amongst other happy memories. Enjoyed taking my children on the Snails last year 😊
Thanks for the memories gina
I have never seen Great Yarmouth looking so quiet, we are so used to the hustle and bustle with the noise from the amusement arcades etc. I have been up the tower in the past when it was called the Oasis. That was very early 70`s though. The snails are a family favourite of ours and the wife and I will have a go for old times sake, it just has to be done. I have been to the circus twice, once was many years ago with my parents then again around 10 years ago with my wife and two children. It is still a real spectacle especially the ring when it drops and fills with water. I also remember going on the Water Ways on a guided boat, there again that would have been very early 70`s. It is such a shame that Great Yarmouth lost it`s greatness, millions have been spent to try and regenerate it but it seems that it needs millions more to turn it around to it`s former glory. There are still many areas which need changing, two you mentioned were the aquarium and the Winter Gardens. The beaches were also packed in my day as well, but they are never that busy anymore. Perhaps things may change due to the virus and people will return again to our holiday resorts if going abroad is much harder to do. There is often good coming out of bad. Keep up with the videos Tim, perhaps you could do a walk around Reedham or Horsey at some point.
Great info some I didn't know nearly sixty now been going to yarmouth ever year since I was a teenager watching this makes me feel like I'm there so cool to watch and memerys I was getting bored till this come up I will watch lots off times as love yarmouth thank u so much x x
I visited Great Yarmouth as a kid in the mid 80's to mid 90's. So many memories are flooding back, far too many to mention. Highlight of the day was Snails, tubs and then trampolines on the beach, followed by a drink in the amusements whilst playing on the penny pushers. Once a week we would go and watch the Norfolkline ferry come in. Thanks for the trip down memory lane l feel like l'm 5 again.
I think that was the best times in the 80's & 90's at Great Yarmouth everything felt so carefree. So many great memories, we spent so much money in the arcades. The chips & doughnuts were so nice. See a lot of things still survived though. Thanks for the video.
Have been to Great Yarmouth on a number of occasions and didn’t even know about Waterways. It looks lovely and I’ve added it to my list of places to see when we next visit. Thanks so much for filming the way you do - it feels like we are being taken round by a friend 😀
thanks
This is a gem of a vlog Tim.
Absolutely magical 😍 the Snow on the Beach!
I don't think I've ever seen just a thick layer of Snow on any beach!
Not on TV & I've never seen a Snowy Beach in real life!
You were very brave walking under the pier in that wild windy & freezing cold weather.
You sounded cold!
There was hardly anybody else out that day & this was filmed last Winter!
Or the Winter of 2020.
Before I joined your channel, I remember we all had quite thick snow in the winter of 2021 & 2020.
The Palm Trees in those Gardens near the Seafront looked funny with the Snow!
And the seaside attractions looked quite odd in the snow like long forgotten places.
The Beach Huts did look pretty against the snow.
You walked so far out to the Sea on the snowy sand!
Sounded like you were really enjoying yourself Tim!
I loved it when you said " no one else on the beach but me!"
shut up you prick
Came across these videos by luck. Extremely glad I did as they are a delight.Brought back memories of holidays and day trips from the 50’s to present day at Winterton. I shall be rewatching again (and again).
Thanks stuart, loads more on the way hope you subscribed and hit the notification bell to go notified when a new video comes out which is Fridays 🙌🙌🙌😃
When I was a child in the 90s we had a caravan at california cliffs Yarmouth was much better then than it is now. Fond memories
Same here in clacton-on-sea toilets closed
I'm 53 I've been going to yarmouth from a baby and it's my favorite holiday destination it looks beautiful on your video ...yes the butterfly farm was in amazonia ..it's really interesting to hear the history of the place thank u for this video 😊😊😊
BEST video yet! love the edit and drone stuff!
I can see my house in this video 👀 I'm definitely in it, just like before the lockdown :)
😷😂😀😷
I remember going up the tower when I was younger. It's such a shame they closed down the market and access to the tower. I forgot all about Amazonia till you mentioned it.
From tiny tot to stroppy teenager I went to Great Yarmouth with my family every year and we stayed near the Wellington pier .It was a magical place to be,such great acts on the piers I remember seeing Morecambe and Wise,Tommy Cooper, Leslie Crowther to name a few. My favourite was the circus and we always went on a Wednesday and a great night out at the bierkeller, it was a walk down memory lane thank you
Wow!!! Although I lived in Great Yarmouth for 20 years ..I was sixteen years old, when I got my first bedsit..it was on St George’s rd,opposite the park..living in Yarmouth were the best days of my life!!! watching this film of the old town + it reminds me of the fun I’ve had..although I live in
Gorleston now..and many years have gone past..I’ve not been down Yarmouth seafront in years!! It’s showing me what I’ve been missing!!. I work in town, I get the bus under market gates to get home, it’s never crossed my mind to go down Regent rd either!!..after watching this film,it really did show me what I’ve been missing for such a long time,O happy days...
Thanks for watching karina check out my other videos from yarmouth too
Great memories . Hardly missed a summer in Yarmouth since 1970. You used to be able to boat ride the waterways. I love Blackpool as well but Yarmouth is far cleaner and with the numerous places to visit it wins hands down . Tip for any visitors the motor car collection at Caister Castle is a must .
Love this video. I've learnt a lot of new information today. I do actually remember going to Amazonia when I was younger
🍎 really enjoying your channel. Love the narration. I thought you were pointing out the worlds worst wax Works was hilarious as well. Thanks for showing us around. - Henry
I love the colours in this video - reminds me of an old 1970’s postcard.
What a fantastic video! I like how you integrate the onscreen captions, music and drone footage. And it's good to see Yarmouth at last having some money invested in it (but they do need to get those coloured lights working!)
Yes, I can imagine that looks beautiful!
The camera work and presentations are exceptional . a step above the usual " seaside vlog " . brings back great memories of my childhood seaside holidays ,which were usually great yarmouth or caister ... thank you!
Thanks david most kind, remember to subscribe if you haven't already to see lots more 👍
Been visiting great yarmouth for years my children love it and tickles joke shop and shemaras beach cafe very friendly staff and the camel derun on Britannia pier
Lovely video of my home town, you got my house in it too! Haha
Makes you feel famous when your house or workplace gets in the video 😊

Harsh. Do u stay Richardson’s?
@@bankraid2183 I stay with Happy Days at Hemsby. It's owned by penny and Martin Mehmet. They have various chalets on all the sites. I have a disabled adapted chalet on Florida chalet site and that also comes with scooter hire. Xxxx
At least you have saved about £ 2000 katherine
@@leedsboy64 lol I don't care about the money, I just love that the sea helps with my pain levels. I seem to be more mobile. That to me is priceless. Xxx
@@katherinebottingcouturekat5287 good for you Katherine The English coast is beautiful and under rated i hope you have fun when you get back there xx
Hi Tim, I was born and raised in Great Yarmouth, lived in Cobholm which is now no more. Went to Technical High School. I left Yarmouth to get married, I miss it so much 50 years later. I was a teenager in the 60s. My friends and I would meet at the Regal at the weekend ,we would walk down the front via Regent road and hear all the 60s music coming out of the arcades. Thank you for your super videos
Hi Maureen, Thanks for watching!
I am so enjoying your videos! My mom was from Great Yarmouth (1938) and I've been there a couple of times (1983 and 2018)! I remember seeing Freddie Starr at the Windmill! Loved my time in Yarmouth! And as an American girl who was only 15 in 1983, to be able to walk into a pub and get a beer was amazing! Lol! Thanks for the great videos! I'll tell my mom about you!
Ha I bet that was an interesting time bck in 1983 thanks for watching, if you haven't already remember to subscribe
Great seeing great yarmouth,holidayed here in 82 when I was 12. Stayed in b and b behind windmill theatre,good to see building still there,and can just make out the road we stayed in down side of theatre
Another place I used to spend alot time with my family as a child, i still do to this day. Great Yarmouth has given our family such great days out. It's now become an annual MUST to get along the seafront and enjoy all of the amusement attractions. I now have a wife and a little boy, i've even gotten her into loving Yarmouth's seaside attractions. It's amazing to still be enjoying it years on from my childhood.
Does anyone remember the Ghostbusters ride? It was about halfway down the main seafront strip. Was basically a virtual reality ride. I used to absolutely love it. It just suddenly disappeared :(
Great video btw. It's great to see someone showing some love for the local scene! :)
Yes it was next to the mint, where the night club was o never went in but did look good from the outside
Ive been going to Great Yarmouth since the mid 70s. The usual place we stayed were Caister and California sands. I have a picture of both me and my sister on the snails in 1975. The Hippodrome circus, i have been there back in the days when they had performing animals. Anybody else commenting remember a shop called Mikes Bargain Centre on Regent Road.Such happy memories....
Thanks for the memories
I love great Yarmouth so many childhood holidays there . I remember going on the snails and the tubs with my mum . The rollercoaster at the pleasure beach was my 1st rollercoaster I ever went on i was 7 1977 . My mum used to come to great Yarmouth as a child to . Thanks for sharing with us love Tracey xx
Thanks Tracy for sharing your memories
I absolutely loved The House of Wax 😍unique and great fun ,loved them it's good to see different versions of wax people ,also loved the waxworks at the bottom of Regent a road upstairs awesome chambers of horrors in both xxxx
I haven't been to Great Yarmouth for about 25 years! What a great video.....love your running commentary. I'm going to watch your other videos now! Thanks. 😀💕
Thank you remember to subscribe too 😎
I moved here in 2011 from Tamworth, love it! You can still See the rock being made normally
Thank you. For the lovley Great Yarmouth.
Our pleasure!
Great vid of great Yarmouth been coming to the place since childhood so far over 40 years love the place we generally stay in hemsby now as it's a little cheaper than hotel and guest house and seadell chalets are always great
Hemsby is like a mini yarmouth I love it , check out my other video on it
Great video, spent 75/76 summers there, worked in the circus and the circus bingo facing. The Tower used to be a big nightclub, the long bar was very popular and The Empire was a cinema went to see the French film Emmanuelle ! X rated. Fond memories. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing terence
What a fantastic video, I spent all of my childhood living in Norfolk as both my parents use to work on a boat yard in Wroxham, and they would take my brother sister and myself to the pleasure beach during the summer in the 1970's. I now take my son there nearly every year, he love's the pleasure beach (we now stay in the new Premier Inn next to the Pleasure beach). It is well worth the drive from Cornwall even if we are going just for a few days!
From Cornwall, that's some drive 🙌🙌
I love Great Yarmouth, so many memories!! I hope they continue to upgrade and improve! I remember going up to the tower when I was younger and going to Tiffany's Nightclub!!! My best memory is my nan taking me to the miniature village!!
Thanks for watching Amanda
About 30 years since I was last in GY. Not really changed a lot but I had a great time back in the day.
Thanks for bringing back great memories 👍👍👍
Your welcome
Well done, what memories. I was born in Norwich, the family moved to Great Yarmouth in 1956. Our house was right across the road from the model village. Moved to Canada in 1964, but when I saw your well produced video, those memories came flooding back.
Thanks Tony
Your welcome..Keep up the good work, Tim I’m sure it’s fun too, for you.!
It's great seeing my hometown on here.
As for the Out There festival, my brother is one of the organisers and while it is unfortunately cancelled this year, they are already hard at work making sure next year is extra special.
yes lets hope so I love the out there festival
Wow, what a great video! I'm originally from north Italy, lived in London for 16 and half years and moved to Yarmouth 6 years ago. However I knew absolutely nothing about this place. Thanks for the tour. You showed a lots of interesting places and shared some nice history. At least now I know a bit more of this small city 👍😉
Your welcome
Lovely comment xx
Loved ⛵ ride on waterways. The lights and characters were fantastic as a little child
Yeh shame they got rid of the lights
I have lived in Great Yarmouth my whole life and I don’t know half of these things you showed existed . Great vid
Thank you 😀
Another video full of childhood memories. I do remember the tropical butterfly house in the early 90s late 80s, It was roasting inside. I remember that market in under the tower, I used to save up my paper round money for months until my holiday and buy allsorts of stuff from inside 😂 arcades and the shops on regent road that played pan pipe music all day. Wonderful 👌
Yes i do ... it was so hot , and the market to pick up a trendy shirt ... lol which I still have
Oh mate, we came to Great Yarmouth each year for over 20 years until I’ll health stopped us coming six years ago.my wife loved lying on the beach, while I had a great walk up Regent Road, brought tears to my eyes,such memories.thinking about it was probably 30 years we came there.all best wishes from Worcestershire.Kind regards
Awww thanks for sharing ramon, remember to hit subscribe to see more 🙌
Great Videos and great memories. I lived in Great Yarmouth from 1976 to 1979. My dad worked in the oil industry and we had quite a bit of American families living there. Had a small American School in Bradwell. I was 12 years old then and now 55 and want to plan a trip to go back and visit. I have found memories of Regent road and every Saturday morning we would bowling at the Regent Bowling. I remember a little hole in the wall gyro and moussaka place around the corner from there. I will be watching all your videos and look forward to going back and visit.
Thanks for sharing Darren, hope u come bck soon
Hi Tim, I love Great Yarmouth and have got the best memories of my family holidays there and still carry on with the tradition as my wife and 8 year old son too love the area, we are back in Yarmouth in August, fingers crossed, fantastic vlog Tim, you've shown the town in a very positive way and filmed it. very professionally, looking forward to watching more of your vlogs 👍
Thank you Stephen
Great video I have been to Great Yarmouth since i was 8 years old I am now 55 yrs old your history of Great Yarmouth is good the winter gardens when i was a kid was a Bier Garten and before the marina complex was built there was a open air swimming pool and there was a cowboy town next to it were i loved to visit there used to be a old sheriff sat near the entrance and they used to have a shoot out.
Wow cowboy town sound good fun ..
@@WalkWithMeTim , yeah the cow boy town if you looked from the air it was horse shoe shaped it wasn't a tacky affaire it was properly done it was like a living museum and you would get bank robbers on the roof shooting at the sheriff and his deputy's and they would fall from the roofs onto a carefully placed boxes that were stacked about 7 to 8 foot high. the other thing i wanted to mention was the tower i went up it there wasn't much up there it was just an open space were you walked round and look through one of those telescopes you see on blackpool front but you could see for miles.
This was so wonderful to watch, I have the best childhood memories of my trips to Yarmouth! ❤️
Thanks jennie hope u subscribed🤗
Walk With Me Tim yes 😊
Used to go to Great Yarmouth every year with my folks in the seventies. Every time I see the old wax museum, I always think of the 'Harry Lime' theme tune. It was always playing when you walked past. Great video thanks :)
Thank you
So in the late 60’s and early 70’s I worked for Jays Entertainments at both the Empire Cinema and Windmill Theatre. They still own the Hippodrome Circus. During the day and evening I was learning Stage Management and went on to do the Stage Lighting. After the 2nd nightly show I went down to the Empire as I was also a trained Projectionist, as there were Late Night Films. Long days and the Summer Season lasted 16 weeks. Whilst I was there we had Matt Monro, Colin Crompton, with Bernie Flint (Winner Opportunity Knocks) and Norfolk’s Singing Postman. Even Tommy Trinder had appeared there a few years earlier.
Now living in West Yorkshire I found this Video very interesting as never seen Gt Yarmouth so empty, back then it was 16 weeks of very busy days.
Great seeing how so much has changed. On a Technical note, Tim you have made an outstanding History Tour, your commentary is so clear and at just the right pace. My sincere thanks for posting this. I have subscribed to enjoy your channel. Kindest Regards Stewart 🎤👍👏
Thanks so much for that nice message Stewart, wow you certainly did a lot back then , I started doing work in the summer seasons they are long and work is hard but the reward I guess is living here!
I remember the waterways in the 70's. They used to do nighttime boat rides that were steered by water flow. It was all lit up and fairy tale characters were spread around. I loved it when I was a kid. I also remember the butterfly place that became Amazonia. They had a massive Crocodile/Alligator there. Amazonia still had some butterflys if a remember rightly.
thanks for sharing Stuart
Thank you for this tour of Yarmouth,I have fond memories of holidays at North Denes caravan park,we went every year in September and did the Ride with the stars at the Pleasure beach where you paid to go on the rides with the celebrities that were appearing for the summer,all the money donated went to charity it was brilliant.
Ha ha celebrities would never do that now
Thank you for such a professional video, being a Yarmouth Bloater I loved it and your useful information for people who maybe don't know Yarmouth. Can't wait for you next one on the historical history of Yarmouth.
Thanks Janet, glad you enjoyed and remember to hit subscribe
Amazonia used to be amazing. We lived in yarmouth from 1999 to 2007. We used to drink in the winter Gardens. Also, the tower was fab. Such a shame. Love the videos
Thanks Tracey
My Aunt & Uncle used to bring to Yarmouth on daytrips from Norwich as a child 50 odd years ago, to play on the sand, watch Punch & Judy and eat gritty meat paste sandwiches :-)
Then as a young adult, I worked at the Carlton hotel... we did breakfast & lunch shifts, then went across the road to roller skate and come back for the evening shift a few hours later - what energy we had.
I remember the little pub at the back of the hotel, but not what it was called.
I remember the owner had a Rolls Royce stored in the garage behind... but not his name but recall being very impressed that he had his own brand of champagne.
Now the hotel is closed :-( Tthat pub, Rolls & champagne long gone...
...but so much remains and is familiar.
I'll enjoy revisiting in a couple of weeks
thanks for watching
Thank you for sharing. I was born in Yarmouth and know it very well. I’m devastated to see they have knocked the Marina Centre down. Certainly outdated but held a lot of memories of my childhood. Evenings at the piatza bar disco (not sure if I spelt that right) in the summer holidays in the mid 90s were just epic 👌🏼
Thanks karl
Always love your video, Tim. Because you always explain as you wander around.No other walkers talk.👍.
I know I try to be different lol
Another thing as a kid I used to love was the fishing tackle shop that had all the old rambo knives in the window and the indoor market that brunt down having replica samurai swords and old wild west six shooters
thanks for watching
I love this video it brings back so many memories of holidays over the years.
thanks early
Been going Yarmouth for 25 years. Still goes for the amusement arcades
Remember the Butterfly Farm, and Amazonia. Used to go in both. Miss both.
Oh yes I went there with the school in the 80s beautiful place it was 👌
Used to go listen to music over cup of tea at winter gardens in the 70s daytime music was lovely
old days was the best!
We stayed at Heacham Manor last year for a very brief visit and the following morning only had about an hour to take a look at Hunstanton and was overwhelmed by it's natural beauty and is on my to do list to stay for a few days, this is another great vlog Tim and have shown the full scale of what Hunstanton has to offer, I also have to say you have a great eye for attention to detail Tim, the gardens are absolutely stunning and I too wish that I had a bigger garden to accommodate a floral boat, thanks for sharing 👍
thanks, Stephen .. going to need a bigger garden
WOW You are so informative. Remember going on holidays in Yarmouth as a child. Really enjoy all your videos ! I'm in Australia now, so it's wonderful for memories, thank you.
Thanks Jan for watching
I'm eleven and live in great yarmouth but not been down the seafront to see how the marina center is going. I definitely remember the butterfly garden 😃
I was asleep in a B&B 2 blocks away to the north when that fire happened. Watched them damping down the morning after. The pub on the prom is a fantastic place for a meal and a beer. First went to Gt Yarmouth when I was 9, back in 1987. Went up the Oasis Tower, and you look right across to Berney Arms mill on Breydon water. Did the circus a few years ago, and love the Rollercoaster.
Thanks for sharing andy 😎
I love Yarmouth happy memories 💕 sunny days great Guest Houses.
Glad you enjoyed
I live in great yarmouth, its great for it to have the recognition that it deserves. I live up the sea front on st peters rd and i used to go to the arcades every week end, sad thing the corona came :(
agree , you might like this for halloween too th-cam.com/video/As5yQu7AumY/w-d-xo.html
Fantastic Tim not been for couple of years (fireworks on the beach with grandchildren, parked at marina car park) no more Marina omg I can remember when they built it, Last time I went in winter gardens was when Nick Risby hosted radio Broadland 60’s night it was a brill night. Childhood memory’s in 60’s are model village, skating rink, circus and best of all being in the animal boats on Venetian water ways x
Thanks anni, yes fireworks in the summer are great and free to go and watch
Done our town justice with this video , well done
Thanks chris please subscribe 😎
I agree, makes you feel proud x
such a beautiful place bro! I hope everything gets back to normal as soon as possible out there. thanks for the tour.
Your welcome
Nothing will get back to normal ever again, in fact it's getting worse week by week. Time ppl woke up and did their own research.,!
@@nicotina4082 2nd wave coming
Never been up the tower wish i had now ! i can remember the butterfly farm and ive been in the waxworks and loved the penny arcade when you got to the end!!
We came last week for day trip, had fish n chips I think trafalgar rd opposite pancake place , they have toilets tgat we could use, sat eating them opposite building site which was marina went swimming there yrs ago x
Good informative video. My wife and I live in Overstrand, near to Cromer. We like to take the occasional drive through the coastal villages to have a lunch at Yarmouth and walk along Regent Road to the market place. Looking forward to doing that again when lockdown finishes. Keep up the good work.
Thanks alan , remember to subscribe
My mum’s cousin used to make the rock back in the 60’s and when we used to visit we would come out with a bag full of free rock.
Nice , even tho I live here I can't remember the last time I had some rock ...
I lived in great Yarmouth for 8 years from 2011 till 2019 I don't miss it one bit but gd see work is being done I use to come to great Yarmouth as a kid 2 back in the 1985 year up till now but sadly I moved to Lowestoft now in 2020 more peaceful
I'm doing a video in lowestoft in the next few weeks any suggestions where i should go
Thank you so much for the video been coming here for year's with my big brother and his family unfortunately he passed away this year it was his favourite place hopefully we'll have a better year next and all visit again
sorry to hear that Wayne, thanks for watching
Thanks Tim, you are so so knowledgeable. You must have spent your entire life on holidays as you remember how things used to be? Please keep it up, it's so relaxing watching your videos. Even my dog loves watching them.
You are very welcome lol yes and there are a lot more of my videos to watch so check them out
Great video. Thanks. My roots are here. I remember visiting the rock factory in 1973!
Glad you enjoyed it
the oasis tower what memories and before the marina was built it was a Wild West cowboy show!
Used to be Tiffinys night club on 3 floors mid 80s
It's good to see they finally built those new shops. I was on holiday the day it caught on fire on the friday which is a shame as the day before my kids wanted to go bowling there but it was too busy. We went last year and it was a just massive space with a metal wall panels up
yes it was quick too!
The Hamburger Restaurant! I had a faboulos time working there in '78/79 & still remain friends with the then owners.
Fantastic thankyou for making this film . It's lovely to see our beautiful great yarmouth :)
Thanks Louisa
Excellent video of that weird lockdown time with everything so empty. I see that since this video, the new marina centre has opened and there’s been a lot of grants / lottery money for the town including the repair of the Winter Gardens - hopefully good times are coming back again!
I’ve lived in Yarmouth for the past couple of years and the bat flu has really impacted the town
244 cases no deaths Google."coronavirus cases in great Yarmouth" population about 60,000 not counting illegals
So has immigration.
Looks more activity here than many other places I've been during the past two or three months, to be honest
Brilliant 👍👍👍spent loads of my childhood in this town, loads of changes👍
Fantastic mate can you do one of Cromer soon love the drone footage keep up the good work Lee Hemsby beach security
Used to have family holidays back in 1950’s/60’s stayed at South Denes caravan park. Remember going on the little boats in the waterways.
Thanks for watching Beverly
Great Yarmouth was a great Town years ago, I am sorry to say it has deteriorated over time, this was our go to place before we could afford to go abroad , but sweet memories of Great Yarmouth .
check out this halloween tour around the town th-cam.com/video/As5yQu7AumY/w-d-xo.html
I love the work you are doing!! Go!!
Thank you ... love ur channel, I want to film in 4k but wow it takes so much memory
I remember the butterfly attraction .I remember the boats on the waterways and all the coloured lights . X
me too shame they didn't add that again!
The circus is great and one of the best buildings I've been in the energy inside is special
it's so unique
God I've visited since leaving 14 years ago but so much has changed , the walk about market on regent road was brilliant you would walk down these wooden stairs and it would be like a one way walking market was brilliant
Thanks for watching check out my other Gt Yarmouth videos in my playlist
i can remember the old swim pool centre before the marina was built even saw its a knock out back in the late 70s had some fantastic memories there and me and my wife were going there back in march but sadly this covid 19 put a stop to that but when this all blows over we shall return for some more happy memories
Thanks for watching Dave
I was there last year, loved every inch of great yarmouth. Beautiful, the people so so helpful and friendly food was delicious, just a great place to visit the beaches are amazing 👌💛💙

I live in gorleston on sea but I always love going to great Yarmouth! I practically use to be up there more than I was at home as a lot of my friends live up there, it's such a beautiful place!
