- The award-winning, now long gone, Weymouth Timewalk. 15 mins. One of Dorset's biggest attractions. A fantastic journey through Weymouth's history, created in the huge old Devenish Brewery complex, Hope Square. Footage around the entrance taken on its closure in 2010, and a tour inside in 1993. Sorry for the poor quality of the interior scenes, my camera then could not handle low-light. "Prepare to be taken aback".
Thank you for uploading this - I adored the Timewalk as a child! I wish it was still there! Used to visit Weymouth regularly for holidays and I’d always be begging the parents to go to the Timewalk ☺️
Same here, also how about The Devenish Story/The Weymouth Museum as well!
I loved this as a child! I’m 42 now! Many happy memories going to Weymouth in the early 90s!!!
Wow that was a trip down memory lane.
My parents used to take me and my brother there everytime we went to Weymouth on holiday back in the 90’s.
Shame it’s closed as my kids would have absolutely loved that
Thanks so much for uploading this. My family and I holidayed in Weymouth many times when I was younger and I adored the Brewers Quay and the Timewalk. I’ve just got back from a visit to the town today and it was sad seeing the old building all closed up - thankfully I had this video to help rekindle the memories!
Thank you for uploading this. I sadly lost my grandad and have lots of fond memories here with him when I was a little girl 🤍❤️
Awe the time walk, went every year from age of 7 to 13. I'm 32 now and God do I miss it, the whole place ☹️ thanks for uploading 🤣
I was just wondering today if it still existed, i visited on 1992, so sad to learn it has closed, it was a great "trip" to Weymouth's history
It certainly is sorely missed. Such a pity that successive owners of the building failed to maintain it all.
@@StuartMorris7 really sad.....
@@StuartMorris7 Yea, same happened with: The Oxford Story Dark Ride/Museum!
As you prob know: Managers said it would have taken about £4m to renovate The Oxford Story and instead decided to plough that money into the castle attraction which had opened 18 months before.
I remember the Timewalk attraction being built. Visited it numerous times when on holiday and day trips. It's a huge loss for this seaside town and seeing the Brewers Quay building laying forlorn and derelict for years has both depressed and angered me. I think whoever owns this building should be forced to maintain it, or the whole complex be sold and NOT for a hotel to be put there. The only souvenir from my trips to the Timewalk is one of the glossy guide books. Still enjoy looking at that occasionally.
All so very true. I think it's changed hands again recently.
Ever since I was little I had the feeling I was being followed or watched in this place, always been scared of it and im sure I would feel the same now if it wasnt shut
I go to Weymouth every year even before I was born family always went it’s a 2nd home to was gutted when this place closed the whole place in general has changed
Cheers for the upload. Brings back some nice memories.
I miss this place so much 😢
You, me and 1000s of others :(
I’m so glad you’ve uploaded this, literally just been to Brewers Quay for the first time in years and it’s all closed down and depressing. These bring back memories.
I remember visiting here as a child of about 10 or 11. The smell of the black plague room is probably the memory that has stuck with me most of all.
I would have loved to have taken my children here one day :(
Same here! And the ‘bring out your deaddd’
Thank you for uploading this. Many fond memories!
Started crying at the black death bit as a kid. So dark and scary!
I thought I was going to catch it from the dummy 😂
This was a great museum entertaining. So sad its closed.
Thank you for uploading this video. It's a shame Timewalk is no longer there.
When was this filmed? Used to go to Brewers Quay regularly when I was a child. This has brought back so many memories. Thank you for sharing this. I still can't believe they closed. It annoys me that similar locations around the world still exist and are still tourist attractions and yet everything good in the UK closes :-( Visited Tin City in Naples Florida a few years ago and it was so similar to Brewers Quay.
I filmed the cat and the tour inside in 1993. The entrance and shops were in 2010, just after the actual Timewalk had closed
@@StuartMorris7 You must of filmed the timewalk later then 1993, you are showing the revamped version of the show which was done in the later 90's
@@davidallen3659 The first part showing the outside, entrance and shops was in 2010. The main part, up the stairs, cat, clock and walking through, was in December 1993. Sorry for the confusion. I didn't realise it had been changed. It was lucky that Ihad filmed it, I'm surprised nobody else seems to have done, unless you know.
We loved this place. Such a waste when it closed down.
I never managed to see it, shame. A lot of these type of attraction have come and gone:- The Oxford story, Dickens World in Chatham, Windsor Station with waxworks of Queen Victoria and a train (can't remember the name)
But Canterbury Tales is still going.
Didn't expect to find anyone there but expected everything closing down!
Oh that horrid musty smell, I ,dont miss that ! spent many times here with my children and then my grandkids !
I wish I could’ve went into this. Sadly I live there but can’t bc it’s closed down forever😢
It's a crime what's happened to brewers quay it went from a must visit attraction to don't even bother going its in a sorry state of affairs now :(
TAKE
ME
BACK
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE!!!!!
I like this place as a kid i did find the cat in the first bit scary as a child.
I just don’t get why they don’t redevelop it properly, Weymouth town centre really needs some serious money spent to rejuvenate it.
