Jason Statham worked in the Yarmouth market with his dad long ago. I am ashamed to say I lived in Gorleston for 20 years and worked in Yarmouth, and this is all very new to me, shocking to admit. I worked for a while in the parks and gardens in the 70s.
Really love your style. You are so passionate about Great Yarmouth. It must have played a big part of your personal history. Love delving into your little works of art from a year ago, and seeing how you are so confident. Thanks for sharing your family with me. I am in my 70’s and broke my back 4 years ago and rarely get out. Thank you Tim😊
I was born in 1945 in my nannys house in number 20 row 8 . I think the row was part of the car park of the now one behind Coxs Jewellery shop. Very interesting video , thank you .
My dad's family lived in gt Yarmouth so spent most my childhood there I also lived there for 2 years I went to greenaches school by the pleasure Beach, my nan lived in a flat by the key opposite the pub the clipper schooner, I no nearly every inch of Yarmouth but as a child didn't appreciate the history of the town , I remember all those walls when I got off the bus from school I had to walk under one of the tunnels that took me to friars Lane a great place in its day .
Those old walls are fascinating. Usually they are made of brick or blocks of stone but those seem to be a combo of brick and small rocks. Thanks for the tour, I appreciate history.
Absolutely FANTASTIC editing first minute , smooth camera speed, the music , The higher to lower video shots looks like a drone shot , the extender being put to good use Tim
I live in Great Yarmouth for 2 years and didn't know anything about the wall.Of course I will just follow your steps and check the wall.And it was amazing to see that the row you showed its right in front of my window
I moved to Scotland from Norfolk in 2007, watching this video reminded me what a jewel Great Yarmouth is, it was always a favourite place to visit when the kids were small.
Very interesting. I'm amazed to see so many little shops. Our town is absolutely dead these days dispite many tourists, I supose no one has much spare cash after paying English heritage £30 to access Stonehenge or £10 to see the cathederal. Another factor maybe that people only come here as part of a tour for the morning or afternoon before heading to Bath or elsewhere. It just goes to show how places thrive better when the money stays in the community.
I love your video's Tim. I live on the south coast which also has a lot of history, Lewes has a town wall so does Southampton. We have been to Great Yarmouth but missed all you are filming sadly
Oh wow, had no idea that Great Yarmouth had so much history. As a kid used to holiday every year in Hemsby and would always come and just walk along the seafront. Thank you for sharing xx
Hi Tim absolutely belta vlog I loved my times on holiday in Great Yarmouth not been for few years now , wowwww the market I remember those chips they were really nice good price to , I did see some of those historical walls in your video and did visit Nelson's colom that statue well actually stubbled across it very interesting must say , didn't know about the small pub Oliver twist , take care 👍
I went to great with my family and did a few food reviews down there gutted i didn't see this before i went its steeped in so much interesting history thanks tim
Great video. Some of the places are worth a video in themselves. My parents actually scaled the steps of Neslons monument when they were young. There was an old wives tale that the architect who put it up meant it to look out to sea and when he realised it was pointing inland, he threw himself off 😆. Total rubbish of course as it faces Burnham Thorpe where Nelson was born. Opposite the monument, there used to be a racecourse and an airfield used during WW1. Under Sainsburys car park are the plague pits where victims were buried. So much to see. Thanks.
Nice one. Time marches on but Yarmouth's history is one of those well-kept secrets. As I understand it, Lydia Eva only fished for a few years after being built and then went off to war service at the end of the '30s. Her return & restoration in the '70s was a major event for the town culminating in her participation in a Tall Ships Festival which was quite fantastic to see.
Just returned from Hospital. Just watching your vlog on TV mysteries of Great Yarmouth reminds me of Tewksbury/ Shrewsbury the history of the fascinating buildings well done Tim👍
You started at St Nicholas church and missed the wall behind it and the tower, maybe also you could do a walk around of the churchyard (there are 3 parts) which is huge. Great video ty for sharing x
I was in Yarmouth on Thursday I didn’t realise you got lights all down the front this time of year is that all year round? We get hardly anything here around skegness apart from the arcade lights. Our council only put lights on from around September to the end of Feb. Great video once again.
My home town. My parents still live in the Town. The "old Market" was built around 1990, before that it had no canopy, you can see what it looked like on the video, with the picture from cica 1970. During the summer in the 70's & 80's the market on Friday's & Saturday's would cover all the area of the new market, right up to outside the Fisherman's Hospital. Nelson's Monument was open to the public during the summer in the 1980's, I remember going up it in the mid 80's. It was a bloody lot of Stairs and very narrow.
Lots of tips for my second adventure in Great Yarmouth. The town within a town. There are areas like Salisbury and Marlborough combined with York and Birmingham. Then the centre of industrial wealth that crash into the sea side. Finally a front with all the worst and best of the so called traditional resort. Roller coasters and fun fare with this massive beach. Something for everyone. The Victorian vision has been bruised by generations but like the town walls it will be still appreciated by the holiday crowds including me.
People moan at Yarmouth. But there are few seaside towns with a complete set of town wall, a minster and loads of quaint streets to stroll about. Spent hours there whilst my parents flittered away my inheritance at the two casinos! It has lost it's charm a bit over the years but with staycations on the rise it's the best place to visit in East Norfolk. What many people miss about it is the old town and the bit just beyond the town walls towards the docks. The Yar it's self is a great walk, plus Gorleston has some history to it as well. There are some hidden bits of the walls under the Market Gates and tucked away behind houses and car parks. If you like railways there is some fantastic relics from the old station including a bow bridge.
I remember going to a Toy Shop in one of those Rows when there on holiday as a kid in the late 70s and buying my first two Star Wars figures, R2-D2 and Ben Kenobi. :)
Just a shame about the loss of Brewers, absolutely gutted, R.I.P. to some of the most fantastic chips I've ever tasted in my life, many happy memories of eating them whenever I went down to visit my Grandparents in Gorleston-on-Sea. R.I.P. Brewers, 1902 - 2022.
Hello there. I’ve watched a few of you vids and have subscribed, they’re very good. I spent all summer of 1982 fixing video games and one armed bandits in arcades in Yarmouth, I nearly bought a place there. I recognise most of the town including the walls and the old buildings. You only need to walk along the beach a mile to the north to be in wild dunes. Lovely to see it again, it was the last place I lived in the UK I moved to France in Oct 82. Thanks again.
Tbh the new market just looks like a giant wooden barn in middle of the street. Looks so strange on outside, nice on inside, walking out the regular shops to a giant barn blocking the view lol Their are some nice areas to stroll to away from the seaside area.
We was in great Yarmouth Saturday . It's still a great favourite of mine . Took a trip on the big wheel . Next time I'm in Yarmouth I will visit these off the track places . Great video
Catching up on some of your walks from my hols. Love this one. The concrete sofa reminded me of my Ramsgate. There's a concrete did and chairs in the courtyard at the back of the Corby Tea Rooms. They've been there as long as I can remember. Xx
Hi. Love your walks videos. Just to mention the toll house dates back much further back than 200 years, as The Tolhouse (also the Tolhouse Gaol) is a 12th-century building in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England. So it's much much older (1101 - 1200). So in places Great Yarmouth is far much older than perhaps first thought, love the history of our country no wonder so many people from other parts of the world love to visit, if only we here appreciated what we have here. Thank you 👍👏
So... technically 815yrs ago Yarmouth market originated.. & they have now decided it's time to have a revamp.. 🤣 I'm only joking! great vlog Tim, shame we can't go up Nelsons monument, they used to open it about once a year? possibly still do on occasions.. ? maybe others know ? Anyway.. loved it mate, what's not to like 👍
@@WalkWithMeTim I have watched you're similar vlog on Yarmouth 2yrs ago, watched you're stuff from the pretty much the beginning, thanks for getting back to me about Pakefield btw, looking forward to that 👍 great as always Tim 😊
Should do a walking tour along the jurassic coast its beautiful, Explore history of Exeter and do tour of Exmouth,Dawlish,Teignmouth,torquay and Paignton along to coast where you can get train that takes you along the whole coast line
Well done Tim.. you have shown Gt Yarmouth is more than just 'kiss me quick' hats, amusements and sticks of rock!!! A very informative tour. Thankyou ❤
I love Yarmouth, came there in May and coming back in September but unfortunately our favourite ever coffee shop Westwick closed down in May, going to miss it soo much, they did the best food and hot drinks. I can remember the outdoor market back in the day, it was on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday I believe and it was always busy
Hello I’m Harvey and I am 11 years old I really like your videos since you are very honest with your reviews and your videos are always entertaining to watch, I watch your videos every day and I just like to say thank you for being such a good TH-camr. Have a nice day :-)
Just got back, being going there since a kid, everything is shut at 6 pm they have killed it, I remember when the town was open until 10pm wont be going again.
Fascinating and well produced as always. I've become a fan of your channel. Great Yarmouth is the only place where I have ever suffered from sunstroke, in the ridiculously hot summer of 1976!
Thanks Tim for the Yarmouth vlog,loved it,we've seen parts of the wall,didn't know how far it went,awesome. Looking forward to Sundays,and Gabys next one,stay cool 😎 x
YO TIM! 1. I friggin love your videos. The wife and I have been watching them fo a while now. 2. You are doing great work production wise. Especially since you are doing it all yourself or a small team I assume. Your production value is fantastic. 3. This new and more historical take on this particular video is GREAT. It really makes me want to get on a plane to visit these places. 4. Keep up the awesome work. It is great seeing these places that we non British people never really get to see. Your videos make me want to explore a much larger part of the UK! Keep up the awesome job man. Drinks are on me and the wife if you ever make it over to NYC. What you are doing is great and I hope that you become super successful.
Just stumbled on this channel last week, and im loving the videos! I enjoy the fact you check out less well known areas in the uk, especially the likes of pontins etc, was really cool to see this!
I really enjoyed this., My Wife and I were at GY last year and had an excellent time but we certainly missed some of the features you pointed out. Thanks for the informative video.
You could be the man I need to know. My great grandfather (who I never got to meet), owned the H.G LAWRANCE & SONS ginger ale factory (well I think it was ginger ale). He had factories in Yarmouth, Beccles and Saxmundham. As a child and teen I spent many hours popping to Yarmouth for just day trips as I’m from Norwich. It wasn’t until we were looking into family history that I had a great grandfather that owned these, I don’t know where they were and I can’t find anything saying such buildings were there. Silly I know I don’t know anything about them but would love to know where the Yarmouth one was at least
I’ve also been going to GTY for about 30 years and haven’t seen much of the wall, I do remember a stretch of it under the market gates shopping centre where the toilets are

I feel so educated and informed. Never knew it had so much more to it. Thank you
lol
Those old walls are fascinating. Usually they are made of brick or blocks of stone but those seem to be a combo of brick and small rocks. Thanks for the tour, I appreciate history.
Absolutely FANTASTIC editing first minute , smooth camera speed, the music ,

Thanks for watching
Yarmouth market chips are the best in the world and nobody can change my mind
agree
Very interesting. I'm amazed to see so many little shops.

Loved this video. Totally homesick for my county as a result even though I left 30+ years ago.
wow where do you live now
Loved watching this video when we came to Great Yarmouth we always went to the historical parts to aa I love local history
Glad you enjoyed it Linda
I have been up the monument countless times a great view and worth a visit.
wow when was that
@@WalkWithMeTim In the glory days of South Denes camp...

off to yarmouth on monday for 1st time since a broads river trip as a teen - now in my middle age youve shown some great places to see - thanks
A great video of The OTHER Side Of Great Yarmouth Tour!.👍👍👍👍👍👍
:-)
My mum used to clean at the Oliver twist pub, it's a lovely little pub. I do love my old town, just a shame it's run down in places.
yes its like most seaside towns. but much better than blackpool
I went to great with my family and did a few food reviews down there gutted i didn't see this before i went its steeped in so much interesting history thanks tim
Thank you for this. Next time I'm in Great Yarmouth, I'll explore the town more than just heading for the beach.
Had su great holidays there su great memories
We stay at Vauxhall Holiday Park and it's a decent walk into Yarmouth
.another great vid mate..♥️👍💥
thanks .. yes great holiday park
I’ve been going to Great Yarmouth twice a year for 32 years and I’ve never known about the little ally way of shops! I’ll check it out next time!

Really interesting Tim, thank you. I live in Cromer only been to that industrial side once. Saw the Wind Farms being taken out in pieces 😮.
Just brilliant. What an insight. Thank you
wow that's a comment!
Not to mention its ridiculously easy to walk from the seafront to the quay, all while seeing a good few of the sights
yes agree
Welp, you brought the town to life. So many details I didn't know about this town.
You started at St Nicholas church and missed the wall behind it and the tower, maybe also you could do a walk around of the churchyard (there are 3 parts) which is huge. Great video ty for sharing x

Grew up in GY. People slate it but there’s something I love about the place. Love going back to visit family and to show my kids where I grew up
Agree
Rewatching this as we are heading to Hemsby next week, going to spend a day visiting the sites in this and learning the local history. Thank you Tim
You are welcome Nathan
Thanks for the walk as I and my family stayed in Great Yarmouth, Caister in 95, brought back lots of fond memories from your walk
you are welcome
A very enjoyable tour. Good to see the inside of the Town Hall.
You're welcome thanks for watching
Good old Yarmouth lovely people go at least evey year and have been to visit the south side of the town
Hi Tim lovely to see such a lot of history. So sad to see the beautiful buildings empty. Thank you for the video thoroughly enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it Tracy , hope you are well
@@WalkWithMeTim I’m good thx Tim just back from Tenerife so playing catch up lol.

see I told people about the wall and they said ...what wall
Tim falls for Yarmouth Walls! Hehe
You cannot beat the market chips! They're the best chips I've ever had 😂 my friend owns ghq barbers down regent Street x
Yes they are the best

Hi. Love your walks videos. Just to mention the toll house dates back much further back than 200 years, as The Tolhouse (also the Tolhouse Gaol) is a 12th-century building in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England. So it's much much older (1101 - 1200). So in places Great Yarmouth is far much older than perhaps first thought, love the history of our country no wonder so many people from other parts of the world love to visit, if only we here appreciated what we have here.

Nelson’s column with Britannia on top pointing to Burnham Thorpe North Norfolk,Nelson’s birthplace.

Glad you enjoyed it!
You could be the man I need to know. My great grandfather (who I never got to meet), owned the H.G LAWRANCE & SONS ginger ale factory (well I think it was ginger ale). He had factories in Yarmouth, Beccles and Saxmundham. As a child and teen I spent many hours popping to Yarmouth for just day trips as I’m from Norwich.
It wasn’t until we were looking into family history that I had a great grandfather that owned these, I don’t know where they were and I can’t find anything saying such buildings were there. Silly I know I don’t know anything about them but would love to know where the Yarmouth one was at least
what a story ill have to ask gaby as I dont know
That would be awesome. Just to know where it possibly was would be nice to know
Just wondering if you had the chance to ask if she has any idea??
Very well put together I enjoyed the experience and I live in Gorleston, thanks for sharing
Awesome, thank you!
I knew about most of this, except for the sofa! I went up Nelson’s Monument in 2011, was a pretty amazing view from the top.
lol well yep the famous Great Yarmouth Sofa
I’ve also been going to GTY for about 30 years and haven’t seen much of the wall, I do remember a stretch of it under the market gates shopping centre where the toilets are
7:29 It's the Battle of Trafalgar, and the ship on the centre right is HMS Victory.
I worked in GY fro a few years, down the South Quay, I always thought it was ripe for quayside development.
yes im surprised it hasn't has yet
Really interesting vlog
Glad you think so!
Ive been to the time & tide museum, it was ages ago though, still it was good.
I never knew that Yarmouth had a wall or a Nelsons monument. Cool
wow you didn't .. you do now :-)
