Hi there Tim, your video is a great attempt at showing off the towns wonderful history.... However there are quite a few inaccuracies in some of the facts you are talking about. As people have already mentioned Nelson was born in Burnham Thorpe, but visited Yarmouth and was given freedom of the Borough in 1801. The Star Hotel is not the oldest hotel in the town, and was originally the Cromwell Hotel, the Star Hotel stood next door where the YMCA stands now, The Nelson museum closed its doors for the final time in October of last year which is a great loss to the town, and there were never any gallows outside the Tolhouse or the townhall--the original gallows stood on the North Denes where Jellicoe Road is now. A great video though highlighting some of our towns amazing history, when lockdown is finally lifted why not come and join one of the heritage walks that runs during the summer season :)
@bextheevilpixie : Inaccuracies can pop up anywhere, such as in your own comment where is no apostrophe in "showing off the towns history" which if only one town should be "town's". There are always keen eyes spotting inaccuracies. I used to live in Gt Yarmouth.
I was born here 84 years ago and often visit as a lot of my family still live in the area. I have live in Audley street, Rodney Road and on Station Road, Southtown.Still a lovely old town in spite of its current problems and I shall be fishing here again once I can travel and stay. Was here last June for a long weekend Staying at the Kensington Hotel. Richard French.
Thanks for your fascinating tour, Tim! Can I please add that Admiral Lord Nelson is England's greatest naval hero who put an end to the tyrant Napoleon's expansionist ambitions and in so doing gave his own life for his beloved country at the battle of Trafalgar on the 21st October 1805. The traditional toast on the anniversary of his death in battle is "The Immortal Memory!" and for good reason. It's a proper reason to crack a bottle ! Great Yarmouth was an important naval base throughout the Napoleonic Wars. Nelson, who was born at Burnham Thorpe, landed at Great Yarmouth on three occasions. Landing there after the Battle of the Nile, in 1798, he was given a hero's welcome and was carried to the Wrestler's Inn, on Church Plain where he was presented with the Freedom of the Borough. The Norfolk Naval Pillar, as it is officially known, has stood for 200 years at South Denes. Building it on an empty sand spit ensured it would be seen from both land and sea. I believe you can climb up the inside to the top on special public open days. Thanks, Tim!
Some friends lived in that row of houses above the smugglers' tunnel back in the 80s. They had a major haunting that was witnessed by several people, and it caused quite a stir at the time. I lived in the attic of the Oakwood pub, not far away, and that place came alive at times too! 😱 Love your vids!! 😁
Really interesting. Yarmouth is so steeped in history and I'm a big history fan!! Glad you mentioned the suspension bridge disaster as local people still talk about that tragedy. Well done Tim 😄👍
Loved this and as my home town I didn't even know all these facts. Remember going to the toll house with school trips, they would lock you in a dungeon for laughs.
This is really interesting Tim. I went to Yarmouth as a kid and have learnt so much more. Shocking i’m a Norfolk girl too. Who knew Yarmouth had so much history. My brother in law was born and raised there
Brilliant video I have been on holiday to Great Yarmouth since I was 5 I am now 55 the attraction for me and wife is the fantastic history of Great Yarmouth, after all these years you have shown some things i didn't know, will look the next time I go to Great Yarmouth well done. Visited the museums well worth a visit.
I lived there for a year in 70/71 and had no idea about the wall! I remember once going to the home of a girl from school that must have been in the old rows. The bath tub was in the kitchen and the toilet in the alley outside. Sad to hear the town has hit hard times. It was one of the most fun years of my life. For a teenager the seafront was great fun.
I have been to Gt Yarmouth many times, and never known about any of these wonderful places thanks for sharing. It makes me want to revisit. Great video.
Only just seen these videos on here of my home town. Lived in great yarmouth all of My life. Your right it has so much history. While growing up I heard so many stories of tunnels underneath great yarmouth most are blocked off. I would love to be able to explorer. If I find one I will let you know.. I suppose it's knowing the right people. Keep on with the videos good work. I was always told that the Nelson monument when placed was facing the wrong direction and the architect sadly committed suicide for that reason. The famous jetty pier was my favourite place as a kid always there either fishing or crabbing. But it had alot of history behind it to. Sadly another piece of history was taken away from the town. And was demolished. Look forward to see more on great yarmouth. 👍
hi hoppy here, at the garden gate where the the kiddie,s playground is now used to be a pub called the rifleman and across the road on the corner where there is now flats used to be another beautiful pub called victoria gardens, the other side of the wall is a pub called the recruit originally it was called the recruiting sergeant, ah happy days
I ga I have looked at your walk round great Yarmouth and I think there are some errors. Most important Lord Nelson was not born in Great Yarmouth and only came to the town 3 times. I think he was born in Thorpe Market but I need to look that up. You can go in the Royal Naval Hospital and look round and on heritage day we will show you round the chapel, the library and the museum. The slots round the wall are not really for guns but for bows and arrows. People not buried in the church yard are buried in the dissenters burial site within the town wall the site by the potteries is the Jewish Grave yard and the synagogue was also outside the wall. One reason the wall took so long was because of the black death when half the town died and are buried under Sainsbury's car park. When the wall was finished it was obsolete as the cannons were far more powerful which is why in some places the earth is piled up inside the wall.
This is absolutely fantastic!! I’m so ecstatic that someone has taken time out to invest in Gt Yarmouth’s history! I’d love to collaborate maybe sometime? When the lockdown started me and my partner were considering making a documentary of the history of the town from the beginning of the town up until modern times... this would be great for us history buffs and for school children who live in and around Norfolk.
A friend of mine who sadly passed away last year gave us a tour of the old wall all around the town two years ago, your video brought me back some very happy memories, she was born in the town and lived in rollesby right up to her death, thank you for the lovely memories, incidentally we were staying at the trevross hotel when she gave us the tour.
You literally in my door step filming the Start Hotel shame you didn’t film the historic Town Hall and the Old Post Office totally transformed in 6 wonderful apartments I live in one of them. Great work, Celia
One of my new favourite channels. Tim it is great to see someone bigging up that area instead of the usual GY is a shithole type of stuff. You forgot to go to Nelsons / Britannia Column though. Me and the wife watched all your videos last night and this morning. Great stuff.
Thank you so much for your kind words .. I agree I dislike it to when people moan about it thousands of people have so many fond memories and are continuing to make new ones , hopefully I will also show you how beautiful the rest of the east coast is on future videos
Hi, i really enjoyed this, as I lived in Great Yarmouth fifty years ago and was ignorant of the historical value, being a bored teenager at the time! Fabulous video and work you've put into this, its made me want to revisit. Enjoyed your other vids on Great Yarmouth too! Great job!
Thank you so much .fantastic tour of our fabulous historic gt yarmouth .you would definitely make a great tour guide for holiday makers after this lockdown has finished .looking forward to watching more of your videos.stay safe!👍🏻
Good film,,,, my Dad was born in Great yarmouth we lived opposite the naval hospital on queens rd in the 70s we used to play in the old derelict buildings over there happy childhood memories ,,,,,DW
Absolutely brilliant! I always thought it would be nice to have a guided tour of the walls and you just did it for me thank you! And all on my birthday in lockdown!!
Thought I knew Gt. Yarmouth quite well but I now know a lot more thanks to this tour of the old walls. Thank you Tim for this whole series. Doug Fulcher.
Hi I'm new to your channel my grandmother and her family came from Norwich. My mum was born in Norwich hospital. I have been on holiday to great Yarmouth since I was a child. I never knew about the wall in all the years I've been there . Thankyou for taking us on this tour it was very interesting. Next time I go i will look for the wall . Xx
Great little video. Thanks Tim. Yes, I do know all those places and I would have added a couple of details like the local hospital is named after James Paget, maybe a bit more about the Elizabethan House, the Time and Tide museum which was in shot and built in a smokehouse - referencing the herring history, but hey, you could go on forever about Yarmouth's history. Well done!
This was interesting, well done little video Tim. You obviously put a lot of hard work into this. I don't live anywhere near Great Yarmouth, and only ever been there once, but I do enjoy your walks. More please! 🇬🇧😀
I live about 15 mins away from Yarmouth but learnt alot! Will be taking a look n might even stay in the star hotel. There's also a mention of the body snatchers who used to steal bodies from that church yard. Think it's in a mark mower book.
Excellent video Tim! When we do aerial ladder training at the fire station in Great Yarmouth we can see a lot of the wall, snaking around and it is great to learn some of its history
OMG! I just found this channel! Tim this is so cool iam a Yorkie but have lived and worked here for the last 4 years, i spend so much time driving round Yarmouth and never notice 2/3rds of whats in this video. Yarmouth has so much rich history which gets so forgotten, many thanks you just got another subscriber. I promise will help to promote this channel, be in touch Tim
After watching this 2 days ago, I went on a bike ride and found the settee and metal sculpture, got some nice pictures of them, so thanks for the video 👍
Walk With Me Tim not yet, going back today to see if there is any more information, I told my dad about it as well as he was born in Row 57, so he is interested in the local history and he enjoyed your video as well 👍
hi Tim I have lived in Great Yarmouth for more than 20 years, you have opened my eyes to all this history. The concrete sofa didn't even know it was there and I only live up the road. Great videos thanks for the information well worth subscribing never know where you will be next week.
my dad runs the Recruiting Sergeant pub where that grave yard is made me chuckle when you wondered if the owners of the house in the tower had any ghost stories, im not really a believer but had many a spooky experience in that pub when growing up never really put 2 n 2 together before with that graveyard tho haha. There also a man encased in the wall at the pottery, rememeber seeing it on a schooltrip there, story was he got banished then tried getting back in though a newly built secton i always thought it was him haunting the place lol Great vid by the way
Thank you for another very interesting tour, alright a couple of bits of information wrong, but I am sure will soon be corrected. All in all a very enjoyable tour, which my husband and I enjoyed as much as the Gt Yarmouth in lockdown. Keep up the excellent work, from a Yarmouth Bloater.
Wow..what a fantastic video, i've been a visitor/holiday maker to Yarmouth for a few years now and knew about the wall but, not its true extent and nothing of the other pieces of history in that town, thankyou for sharing and taking the time to do these films...
Hello I am so impressed by your channel. I suppose like many people you haven't had time to stop because of work. In a lot of ways lockdown has been a lifesaver.
Thank you Tim, fascinating, been to Great Yarmouth lots of times, didn't even know about the wall walk, so something to do next time we are there, hopefully September.
Fascinating stuff. I've been to Great Yarmouth a couple of times for a stroll and the beach with a burger and ice cream because I never really thought there was anything else - I never, ever realised there was all this to it. However, I would believe the slits (called 'loopholes') in the walls were not (initially at least) for guns or muskets as I would imagine the walls predate any of them, but for bows and arrows/slingshot. Brilliant video again.
So helpful Tim. Currently writing a book which includes mid 19th century GY, so good to hear about all the old buildings that would have been there then. Phyllida, Norwich.
A snippet of interest, Around the base of Nelsons column it is walled and my father who was production manager at the time(erie resistor) together with 3others kept pigs in the area, this was in the late 40 ‘s and early 50’s. They fed the pigs with waste from the factory canteen.
I enjoy your vids and like the Norfolk and great Yarmouth areas, informative and interesting, I imagine Norwich Lowestoft are next on the agenda . best wishes
I'd love to see Southampton, many a happy time in Hamble visiting my nan when I was younger. Sadly life isn't the same without a Nan and a Great Nan.. my dream is to go back and settle there..
This is an excellent little channel that i hope gets much bigger in the months to come. I would really like to see a walk around Lowestoft while in lockdown. And i would also like to see a walk around Norwich while in lockdown.
I lived for about 10 years on "The Mount" on Howard Street South..The Houses were built as accommodation for fireman who served in the adjacent Fire Station which was at the end of Victoria Arcade..The "Undercroft" on top of which the houses were built dates from the 13th century and is one of only two examples in the whole of Europe..I think it was part of the Greyfriars complex of buildings which now house the Council Offices..I have been underneath and there are blocked off doors and a lot of sand infill..After it's religious use it was used as a Merchants Store and probably had other uses over the years before the houses were built.
Really enjoyed your Great Yarmouth tour, the historical facts were fascinating. Another great video thank you, made even better with Lockdown & no one in your way 😉 xx
Great video. I visit Yarmouth most Sundays for a good long walk, you have given me a mission now. Recently I discovered a house that claims to be the site of WW1 first fatalities. The suspension bridge story was new to me, thanks. Every day is a school day.
Hi , just subscribed to your channel , love your video's so interesting to go on these walks with you . Kate McCabe suggested your channel & I'm glad she did . X
Another fascinating walk Tim, well done. Just one little correction the plaque you mention is for James Paget, not James Pagent Bart. James' name was given to the present hospital and the 'Bart' signifies that he was made a baronet.
You channel is wonderful. Really interesting about the wall its unbelievable it still stands. Yarmouth is close to my heart as i used to go to california sands and go to club oasis. I wonder if it’s still there? Anyway keep up the good work. Ive been watching this all week and ive got to take my girlfriend to wells by the sea to stay in those wonderful round thatched cottages. All the best tim
Amazing and interesting vlog to watch, you really do live and learn. Just goes to prove you don't know the half of it, what an interesting history it all has, all those people of the past building its rich history over many many years.

Great to learn some of the history after spending many great holidays here
thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed this video, we've been coming to Yarmouth for our holiday for years.

Fascinating stuff. I've been to Great Yarmouth a couple of times for a stroll and the beach with a burger and ice cream because I never really thought there was anything else - I never, ever realised there was all this to it.
However, I would believe the slits (called 'loopholes') in the walls were not (initially at least) for guns or muskets as I would imagine the walls predate any of them, but for bows and arrows/slingshot.
Brilliant video again.
Thanks so much for watching mister hampshire
@@WalkWithMeTim it's been my pleasure.
Nice ,well narrated walking tour.. I salute you👍
So nice of you
So helpful Tim. Currently writing a book which includes mid 19th century GY, so good to hear about all the old buildings that would have been there then. Phyllida, Norwich.

A snippet of interest, Around the base of Nelsons column it is walled and my father who was production manager at the time(erie resistor) together with 3others kept pigs in the area, this was in the late 40 ‘s and early 50’s. They fed the pigs with waste from the factory canteen.
Wow interesting john 👍
John Haydock Love snippets like that!
I enjoy your vids and like the Norfolk and great Yarmouth areas, informative and interesting, I imagine Norwich Lowestoft are next on the agenda . best wishes
Thanks Tony, Gorleston is next 😎
@@WalkWithMeTim Been through Gorleston a lot of times but don't know much about the place.
Very interesting and makes me want to go and look round !
you should also check this out then for halloween th-cam.com/video/As5yQu7AumY/w-d-xo.html
I'd love to see Southampton, many a happy time in Hamble visiting my nan when I was younger. Sadly life isn't the same without a Nan and a Great Nan.. my dream is to go back and settle there..
will bve doing the south coast soon
This is an excellent little channel that i hope gets much bigger in the months to come. I would really like to see a walk around Lowestoft while in lockdown. And i would also like to see a walk around Norwich while in lockdown.
Thank you , lowestoft in lockdown is coming in a couple of weeks and it's a shame to see what's happened to the town centre
My husband's grandfather grew up in Laughing Image Corner, Great Yarmouth
Very cool!
@@WalkWithMeTim I think there is a post office there now. I was watching for it
such a great share,I wish you all the best,many greetings
Thank you! You too!
Another wonderfully interesting video. Didn’t know any of this existed as I’ve only ever visited the sea front on my other trips. Thanks again🙂
Glad you enjoyed it
I lived for about 10 years on "The Mount" on Howard Street South..The Houses were built as accommodation for fireman who served in the adjacent Fire Station which was at the end of Victoria Arcade..The "Undercroft" on top of which the houses were built dates from the 13th century and is one of only two examples in the whole of Europe..I think it was part of the Greyfriars complex of buildings which now house the Council Offices..I have been underneath and there are blocked off doors and a lot of sand infill..After it's religious use it was used as a Merchants Store and probably had other uses over the years before the houses were built.
Ahh - happy memories of visiting you and Lee at The Mount - hope you are keeping well
Really enjoyed your Great Yarmouth tour, the historical facts were fascinating. Another great video thank you, made even better with Lockdown & no one in your way 😉 xx
Thanks nicky
Really interesting historical walk - great stuff! 👍🏻
Great video. I visit Yarmouth most Sundays for a good long walk, you have given me a mission now. Recently I discovered a house that claims to be the site of WW1 first fatalities. The suspension bridge story was new to me, thanks. Every day is a school day.
Lol of course thats very true u learn something new every day
that was amazing to know these history... great job....thanks
Thanks tashi

Used to be a railway here and the road ran between the tower and the river.

Wow fantastic video. Really enjoyed it
Thanks kayley
Another fascinating walk Tim, well done. Just one little correction the plaque you mention is for James Paget, not James Pagent Bart. James' name was given to the present hospital and the 'Bart' signifies that he was made a baronet.
i thought that looked odd ... thanks michael
You channel is wonderful. Really interesting about the wall its unbelievable it still stands. Yarmouth is close to my heart as i used to go to california sands and go to club oasis. I wonder if it’s still there? Anyway keep up the good work. Ive been watching this all week and ive got to take my girlfriend to wells by the sea to stay in those wonderful round thatched cottages. All the best tim
Thank you very much! for watching means a lot don't forget to tune in if you can to my New Years day live Q & A at 4pm
Very nice excursion. You are a great tour guide.🙂
Thank you 🤗
Amazing and interesting vlog to watch, you really do live and learn. Just goes to prove you don't know the half of it, what an interesting history it all has, all those people of the past building its rich history over many many years.
Thanks wayne
