That funfair was on the beach, along with the donkey rides, in the 60s when we went there to visit my gran. She live on Constitutional Avenue near the main entrance to Blundell Park. Used to make 3d and 6d looking after bikes for men going to watch the match on Saturdays.
My aunty moved here in January, I just got back yesterday from her's and I have to say Cleethorpes is amazing! We did a lot packed into a weekend. I plan to go back again it's fantastic
Hi, hope you don't mind me asking but I'm seriously thinking of moving to Cleethorpes, did you really like it, any tips on nice residential areas. I just want a terraced or semi detached house?
@@cherylparker8025 All I know is she said its cheaper rent than down south when she used to live in Reading. She lives in a not too bad area, not far from town and the sea. It's her happy ever after :) your best bet would be to get googling and see what pops up. Most things up north is cheap so you'd get a good deal on whatever you manage to get.
I had the best time there as a kid in the 80s & 90s. They had the best arcades at cleethorpes. My grandparents ended up buying a caravan there in the mid 80s and we'd be there every chance we got. I remember my nan would give me a fiver every morning and I'd just spend the day in the arcades. Such good times.
That north promenade had a great Sunday market in the 80s n 90s. I'd go with my nan every Sunday that we was in cleethorpes. It was a great market. I got my first pair of Reebok pump in that market.
I spent my childhood on that beach and loved every minute of it....thanks for not slagging it off.I remember being able to collect tons of different shells on the beach and I'm not sure that's the case anymore. Also the pier was quite different ..I danced in competition there and I'm pretty sure they had pantos there too (possibly aging myself there🤭)
We used to go to Cleethorpes by train from Scunthorpe in the 1950's and 1960's. Good to see some of the front and beach.If I remember right where the indoor marcket is was Wonderland amusements and the Big Dipper ( A large wooden roller-coaster which had a boating lake under it with motor boats).
Good video Tim,the pier was once quite a bit longer (1200ft) but was shortened in the war to prevent its use by the Germans.You should try walking a bit further south in Cleethorpes beyond the leisure centre,there is a lovely walk along the river bank towards Humberstone Fitties,you can see the old forts built during the 1st world war and Spurn point
@@WalkWithMeTim you should also walk up that North end of the beach to see the Grimsby Town Football Club mural on the seawall. My daughter, son-in-law, and grandson moved to Cleethorpes 2 years ago and live up that north end so that’s what I’m most familiar with when I visit in season (it’s less crowded to walk in, I’m medically blind (see the world as a blur of colour, light, and movement). It is also worth walking the other side of your starting point where the light railway, boating lake, etc is, and a path out over the salt flats (somewhere I hope to explore more of at some point). Of course I’ve always preferred walking on semi deserted beaches, and through nature, so I also enjoy walking further inland at Weelsby Woods with my daughter though perhaps the locals would prefer to keep that to themselves 😉
The last time I visited Cleethorpes was 50-years ago, Tim. I must say that they've Indeed moulded the place into something better than I recall. Great vid! 👍
I've not commented in a while, but it's great to see you visit all these places. it was amazing vlog, and it gives me great idea's for my summer travel plan's.
All my childhood and adult life has been in Cleethorpes. Loved the video Tim thank you - so many memories I recall as I watched this however I am still gutted that so many iconic buildings & premises are gone. I miss the Dante Cafe (or what it used to be) and the Wintergardens. Now we dont have the Submarine pub. Most of our theatres we had are gone 😥 Still it was lovely to share those memories.
Loved watching the video, I left Cleethorpes in 2007 to live in Brazil, I used to love walking down the seafront, both to Wonderland and Fitties, and even beyond, it brought back a lot of fond memories, and it was nice to see how some things have changed and others have remained the same, I do miss Cleethorpes, but sadly there's no coming back.
indoor market used to be wonderland great place back in the day ,like cleethorpes 45 minutes from home , gone many an evening for fish and chips ,donuts and back home in a couple of hours .
Another great video Tim. Just a few points of interest re: Cleethorpes Pier. Built between 1872 & 1875, it was largely funded by two railway companies of the time. It originally stood 1200 feet long but having undergone many alterations, some as a result of fire and World War Two concerns (German Invasion), the pier is now 335 feet long. The current restaurant building was completed in 1968 and originally housed a 600 seat Concert Hall, during the 1980's it housed a Night Club before the whole pier was closed for refurbishment between 1989 and 1993.
I live in Cleethorpes. I think you painted it in an ok light as I know it's not the biggest of seaside towns! I had to laugh about the maze forgot it was there. I remember going to it when it first opened not that long ago. It needs to grow and for people to stop barging through it! I agree about walking the other way the other side of the Leisure Centre. There are more fish and chip shops further back in the main street area...
Love this walk Tim. It might be cold but so pretty there. Great day for a walk. Love the fish bin. So peaceful and charming there. Thanks Tim for a beautiful walk today. 👏🏻
Lovely to see you were in our town last year. We live 5 minutes from kingsway hotel. Did you know that the waterfall was originally a cafe? When it was closed they used the stones to create the waterfall! Also, there was an aquarium to the right of it with indoor pools. There were 2 i believe, 1 had fresh sea water pumped from just infront of the pier where you started to record and the other was a normal indoor pool. Ive heard that you can still find the pipe on the beach when the sand washes away too much (its a man-made beach which is why if you walk to meet the water it gets muddy). Love our town 😊
Cleethorpe as not change much since I was last there some years ago. With living just across the river in Hull great place to visit, catch the bus across the bridge and catch the train from Barton down the river side to Cleethorpe. When I was a Kid back in 1970s/80s the pier had the Pavilion which now Papas, which would have live music, wrestling and summer variety shows. The only thing that is missed in Cleethorpes is the Winter Gardens, which was on the seafront and would host big pop and rock backs in the 60s/70s and 80's now turned into flats, shame you did not go east and down to the minuter railway and the Parkway cinema. Great video, thanks for showing this resort, can you please come up and video the three best seaside towns in East Yorkshire, which are Bridlington, Hornsea and Withernsea.
This is a great video, thanks as always for your effort Tim, much appreciated. This brought back happy memories of a long bank holiday weekend me and Ellen spent in Hull (which we really liked by the way) several years ago and on the Sunday we visited Cleethorpes and really enjoyed it. It was an August bank holiday so it was really busy but the place is full of charm and character and we would definitely visit again.
Just started following you Tim since someone shared your lovely Robin Hoods Bay walk ( our favourite place ❤️) loving your videos especially the Whitby ones & now catching up on the Skegness ones as it's local to us, loving the winter ones! Keep up the good work 😉 oh & as you keep saying correct me if I'm wrong... The Yuka plant's on the seafront gardens are actually Palm trees 🌴 very exotic one of my favourites 😎
Hi Tim .. Cleethorpes was a regular trip in the summer wen I was a child up to when I was 15 yeas old just a 1 day out run by the workingmen's Club in the village I was born in and live there till I got married. lots of good memories form when I was a child . All the best Tim love to Gaby and baby Casper .. From Tommy Yorkshire . 😉👍 ✨👶✨
Lovely Vlog, thankyou for showing us around Tim. Weather looked very pleasant for you. 🌞 Edit: just looked up Ross castle, interesting nook created by the Manchester, Sheffield and lancs railway services in 1885. I love history, thanks again.
I can't believe the Submarine pub with its little windows are gone, I almost except to see it there & m y brother to come out of it 😉 he used to frequent there with his friends often when he was younger but now its gone, hes no longer with us & neither is Buster Hammond either, he was always about keeping us all safe on the beach. Aah memories 🎉
Hey just found you,been nice here Sheffield bit breezy sunny and just odd shower this afternoon ,good to get a walk in after horrid weekend weather,thanks Tim 😁
What a nice day for February though it was a bit chilly . Have you been to the maze in hemsby haven't been myself but hard a lot about it. Nice seaside in the sunshine.
Hi there another fantastic video like always just to say love the content in the video fantastic footage brilliant work looks a very interesting place I’ve never been here but need to visit
5:53 There is a maze at Apple Jacks which is awsome and we got lost in it when we went. York Maze Maze is alsi really cool and has a different pattern of year, it was a legoman when we went back in 2022.
I believe that the big blue Wonderland building right at the end of north prom was the UK's first indoor rides and amusements back in the early 1900's and in that vacant spot before that sunday market building there was a very small cinema that I went in as a child in the early sixties.There's lots more I remember from back then but maybe another time .Love the video.
Hi hi Tim great vidio again , we was on about mazes new there was one in York , so had a look ,not sure but looks like in a cornfield ,(big area for that farming)as why July to September,when it's growed tall ,there's all other attractions,might be interesting vidio ,later in year ,lol👍
Oh my goodness, we used to go on a caravan site in Cleethorpes but i was only a baby maybe up to about 3 years old? yep i am old i don't remember much but i do remember my Brother going on a horse and carraige thing on the beach and it ran off towards the sea far away or was that Mablethorpes 😂 went to both , before we started going to Bridlington lol
Agree with S WB - if you walk up the leisure centre then just beyond you have the boating lake and a beautiful walk up to the yacht club. The end you walked down to has had little regeneration in years. Cleethorpes is my hometown and it’s a cool place to live.
If you go left from the leisure centre you end up where he went, that's fine for amusements and chips/donuts (although the best chips are off the seafront). If you go right like you said it's a much better walk and it could be a different town once you walk away from the centre. It's a lovely walk and you can get about six miles before the path ends. The beach up off that walk is way nicer too. It's nice in Winter too.
You was only about 30 miles away from me. I’ve not bee to Cleethorpes since the late 60’s and we had to get a ferry from Hull to New Holland which was by British Rail then drive there 😃
Great Weather you are finding. If you are looking for a large maze try the Skylark Maze Maze at Wimblington near March Cambridgeshire supposedly 3k of it
I had a couple of weekends in Cleethorpes back in the 80s, stayed at a place called the Lifeboat hotel and it was very nice, I believe it is now a car park and has been for some time.
I believe its now apartments but it was once in a former life my sisters nighttime wedding venue, the daytime being spent at the Winter Gardens....now sadly it appears both are apartments!!! More memories gone or maybe its just if you're business had connection to my sister & brother in laws wedding that jynxes you?? Who knows 😅
I remember there was a maze at Longleat but we didn't have time to go round it as we were on a coach trip when we on holiday down that way & had limited time.
Hi Tim, Longleat maze is recorded as the biggest maze in the uk, it was once the biggest in the world. They also have the safari park attached to the estate, nice day out for you Gabby and Casper (while recording a vlog of course 😀)
It's like a little village town on the way to Lincoln and it's like a maze and you can go around it's quite good but I think he might be closed or I don't know Tim but you can do it in the somewhere if it's
That blue and white fish chip shop by train station I had fish and chips from was really sick the night time . Was ok till I ate from there nice little town thou
The best maze in the UK (IMO) is the peace maze at Castlewellan forest Park beside the Mourne mountains and the historic seaside town of Newcastle which is right up your street! It is the second largest hedge maze in the world.
sorry me again but i think the little caterpilla coaster is one if not the oldest in England ,got talking to the operator 4 or 5 years ago and had a 5 lap special ,its built on stilts to stop the sea affecting it .
You went past my house, a few points... Looks like you've gone on a Sunday when everythings closed, there is cheaper parking elsewhere, that was the original Macdonalds, one of the ice cream parlours has just built upwards so its doubled in size, and you're missing the other side of cleethorpes that leads up the the train station pub and the holiday homes plus the boating lake, meridian point, the meridian road walk. Come on Saturday, is really busy....
I live in grimsby/cleethorpes its a lovelg place the waterfall has been there for as long as i remember but the local yobos do put washing up liquid in it. When did you visit was it today
The pier used to have a theatre on the sea end. Think it was in the 70s/80s the pier was badly damaged in a storm & part of it fell down. Too costly to repair. The smaller pier became a night club 39 & later Papa fish & chip restaurant & take away. Fish & chip shops are a street away from the front which come highly recommended by the locals
Sunderland in Cleethorpes 'the avenue' (St.Peters) is gone, since his retirement I'm not sure what's in replacement is like but you need to try Ernie Becketts Tim it's just off the seafront or for a fish & chip restaurant then Steels which is is the market place just off the avenue.
Looks baron on the seafront 😟 surely they could do more to attract people off season to, as looks pleasent even tho chilly. Love 💖 your videos Tim. Thanks Tim ☺️👍
Great video. Visited cleethorpes a few years ago and wasn't thay impressed. Nice fish and chips and impressed by the building which sits on the pier. You should visit the maize maze at millets Farm near Abingdon. A maze made out of corn... And easy to get lost in. I use to spend a lot of my childhood at millets. Definitely worth a visit. But only avaliable during the summer /autumn period.
It would have been better if you started your tour from the North Promenade (next to, 'Wonderland'), and walked south until you reached the Humberston Fitties/Yacht club. That way, you would have seen all that Cleethorpes sea front has to offer. Starting near the Pier and going north, you missed out Kingsway, then going passed the Leisure Centre, the boating lake and miniature railway among other things. Although, during the winter I don't think the miniature railway operates. The railways that brought in day-tripping holidaymakers from the midlands were largely responsible for the development of the seafront. Not only Ross Castle, but also the Pier and the Pier Gardens were funded by the railway company who ran the line to Doncaster in the mid 1800's. Prior to then, the thorpes of Clee, (Itterby, Oole and Thrunscoe), were nothing more than tiny villages with some fisherman's huts among them. Once the railways came, the town's population increased and the villages became one town. The bit that doesn't look, 'as nice', at the end was once a large stretch of beach until it was necessary to build a substantial sea defence wall along it, due to the threat of flooding. Mind you, that was well over 40 years ago. You can see part of Grimsby Docks in the distance, (the Dock Tower being the focal point), but not Hull. That's 40 odd miles away!
cannot believe they have knocked the pub down opposite fantasy world , was popular with bikers at one time and did great food , sign of the times i guess .

Wow, I can't believe that mini rollercoaster is still on the beach. Sad to see the old helter skelter not there anymore.
That north promenade had a great Sunday market in the 80s n 90s. I'd go with my nan every Sunday that we was in cleethorpes. It was a great market. I got my first pair of Reebok pump in that market.

Also the pier was quite different ..I danced in competition there and I'm pretty sure they had pantos there too (possibly aging myself there🤭)
Yes Yvonne, I'm passionate about the Great British Seaside and know it holds so many memories for so many
I danced in the yearly competitions on the pier too! My best childhood memories!
We used to go to Cleethorpes by train from Scunthorpe in the 1950's and 1960's. Good to see some of the front and beach.If I remember right where the indoor marcket is was Wonderland amusements and the Big Dipper ( A large wooden roller-coaster which had a boating lake under it with motor boats).
We'd travel on the train from thorne. So it would've been the same route.
I loved going on the train there with my grandfather.
at bottom where indoor mkt. is was called Wonderland amusements many years ago. sunday excursions from worksop by steam train 1/6 return
Back in the 90s, the pier was a great nightclub, spent many a time both working and playing there
Good video Tim,the pier was once quite a bit longer (1200ft) but was shortened in the war to prevent its use by the Germans.You should try walking a bit further south in Cleethorpes beyond the leisure centre,there is a lovely walk along the river bank towards Humberstone Fitties,you can see the old forts built during the 1st world war and Spurn point
ill try that thanks Alan
@@WalkWithMeTim you should also walk up that North end of the beach to see the Grimsby Town Football Club mural on the seawall.

The building knocked down across from the pier was "The Submarine" pub an old favourite of my dad and lot of bikers in summer.
I thought it was a pub

This brought back happy memories of a long bank holiday weekend me and Ellen spent in Hull (which we really liked by the way) several years ago and on the Sunday we visited Cleethorpes and really enjoyed it. It was an August bank holiday so it was really busy but the place is full of charm and character and we would definitely visit again.
Glad you enjoyed it Jeff .. yes I have loads of childhood memories from here!

If you go right like you said it's a much better walk and it could be a different town once you walk away from the centre. It's a lovely walk and you can get about six miles before the path ends. The beach up off that walk is way nicer too. It's nice in Winter too.
You was only about 30 miles away from me. I’ve not bee to Cleethorpes since the late 60’s and we had to get a ferry from Hull to New Holland which was by British Rail then drive there 😃
could have brought me a flask of tea ;-)
@@WalkWithMeTim When your there next let me know but I’ll have to book a hotel to charge up my mobility scooter 😃
@@darrenhowell7855 lol
Great Weather you are finding. If you are looking for a large maze try the Skylark Maze Maze at Wimblington near March Cambridgeshire supposedly 3k of it
Wow ...
Great place visit nice for fish and chips with view great video Tim
Thanks 👍
Hi Tim. I like the walk today but didn't live it . I still enjoyed though.
Glad you enjoyed it
Check out Longleat Hedge Maze, really nice. And - of course - Leeds Castle. A lot smaller, but still a nice challenge, for us maze lovers. 😉
I'll check it out
I had a couple of weekends in Cleethorpes back in the 80s, stayed at a place called the Lifeboat hotel and it was very nice, I believe it is now a car park and has been for some time.
yes I thought it was once a pub
I have googled the Lifeboat hotel and it was knocked down in 1999, but is not a car park as I thought it is apartments.
I believe its now apartments but it was once in a former life my sisters nighttime wedding venue, the daytime being spent at the Winter Gardens....now sadly it appears both are apartments!!!
More memories gone or maybe its just if you're business had connection to my sister & brother in laws wedding that jynxes you?? Who knows 😅
I remember there was a maze at Longleat but we didn't have time to go round it as we were on a coach trip when we on holiday down that way & had limited time.
I love a god maze!
Hi Tim, Longleat maze is recorded as the biggest maze in the uk, it was once the biggest in the world. They also have the safari park attached to the estate, nice day out for you Gabby and Casper (while recording a vlog of course 😀)
Lovely place the maze looks the easiest maze in the world. I think Sainsburys is a harder maze especially when they change things around lol.
LOL
LOL that's good LOL me to👍
Great Video and I live here.John
It's like a little village town on the way to Lincoln and it's like a maze and you can go around it's quite good but I think he might be closed or I don't know Tim but you can do it in the somewhere if it's
thanks Emily
That blue and white fish chip shop by train station I had fish and chips from was really sick the night time . Was ok till I ate from there nice little town thou
oh dear
The best maze in the UK (IMO) is the peace maze at Castlewellan forest Park beside the Mourne mountains and the historic seaside town of Newcastle which is right up your street! It is the second largest hedge maze in the world.
Wow
I always want to check out the underside of piers too! I like the one in Cromer. I must be into rivets or something.
lol
sorry me again but i think the little caterpilla coaster is one if not the oldest in England ,got talking to the operator 4 or 5 years ago and had a 5 lap special ,its built on stilts to stop the sea affecting it .
well it doesn't look like it will be in use this year lol
Quality channel. Excellent presentation.
thanks Paul
You went past my house, a few points... Looks like you've gone on a Sunday when everythings closed, there is cheaper parking elsewhere, that was the original Macdonalds, one of the ice cream parlours has just built upwards so its doubled in size, and you're missing the other side of cleethorpes that leads up the the train station pub and the holiday homes plus the boating lake, meridian point, the meridian road walk.
Come on Saturday, is really busy....
Cleethorpes Is a dump I had to endure ten years of holidays when I was younger, I still have nightmares to this day lol
😨

had to check map as didnt know this place good video
lol thanks for watching
thanks for the vid Tim. i'm always curious & maybe oneday i'll have a look first hand, but cleethorpes just aint grabbing me
lol
The pier used to have a theatre on the sea end. Think it was in the 70s/80s the pier was badly damaged in a storm & part of it fell down. Too costly to repair. The smaller pier became a night club 39 & later Papa fish & chip restaurant & take away.
Fish & chip shops are a street away from the front which come highly recommended by the locals
Sunderland in Cleethorpes 'the avenue' (St.Peters) is gone, since his retirement I'm not sure what's in replacement is like but you need to try Ernie Becketts Tim it's just off the seafront or for a fish & chip restaurant then Steels which is is the market place just off the avenue.
Sutherlands* or 'Suthies' I mean sorry..my sisters first job in college was in there!
Looks baron on the seafront 😟 surely they could do more to attract people off season to, as looks pleasent even tho chilly. Love 💖 your videos Tim. Thanks Tim ☺️👍
Totally agree
You asked about the Largest Maze in the UK- its Longleat Hedge Maze in Wiltshire
The maze on the way to Lincoln is called rugby Maze
ill check it out
I was there this morning 😀 not far from me
;-)
Great video. Visited cleethorpes a few years ago and wasn't thay impressed. Nice fish and chips and impressed by the building which sits on the pier.
You should visit the maize maze at millets Farm near Abingdon. A maze made out of corn... And easy to get lost in. I use to spend a lot of my childhood at millets. Definitely worth a visit. But only avaliable during the summer /autumn period.
Thanks adam I will
The fish bin looks great and kids will put their rubbish in it
yes a great idea
Will be going there in June for the armed forces weekend great video Tim not seen beyond the pier before so will have to do that
Hey mick thanks for watching
hi tim i live in cleethorpes did you no the rollercoaster is the oldest steel roller coaster in the uk.
I do now! lol thanks Leon
never been looks lovely x
lol
That is a maze in the park in breadbry park Stockport
Is there
It would have been better if you started your tour from the North Promenade (next to, 'Wonderland'), and walked south until you reached the Humberston Fitties/Yacht club. That way, you would have seen all that Cleethorpes sea front has to offer. Starting near the Pier and going north, you missed out Kingsway, then going passed the Leisure Centre, the boating lake and miniature railway among other things. Although, during the winter I don't think the miniature railway operates. The railways that brought in day-tripping holidaymakers from the midlands were largely responsible for the development of the seafront. Not only Ross Castle, but also the Pier and the Pier Gardens were funded by the railway company who ran the line to Doncaster in the mid 1800's. Prior to then, the thorpes of Clee, (Itterby, Oole and Thrunscoe), were nothing more than tiny villages with some fisherman's huts among them. Once the railways came, the town's population increased and the villages became one town.
The bit that doesn't look, 'as nice', at the end was once a large stretch of beach until it was necessary to build a substantial sea defence wall along it, due to the threat of flooding. Mind you, that was well over 40 years ago. You can see part of Grimsby Docks in the distance, (the Dock Tower being the focal point), but not Hull. That's 40 odd miles away!
thanks for the feedback and for watching
The shop on the stairs I used it before the sandcastle
cannot believe they have knocked the pub down opposite fantasy world , was popular with bikers at one time and did great food , sign of the times i guess .
I know sad
