Hi, I am a British Army Veteran that also loves travelling and challenges. Why don't you join us on our next challenge and let the experience take us where it wants. Dean, Travelling Veteran.
The miserable old man you interviewed knows fuck all. The council actually do spend a decent amount of time and money bringing events to Cleethorpes, particularly through the summer.
What fkt cleethorpes was the fact that during the miners strike cleethorpes was selected to be the mass base of all the police, I say police, a he'll of a lot of them were army. They paid every seamstress the could to make simple black uniforms, hired every van they could After that all the mining communities blacked cleethorpes and that was almost the death of it. It took years for stuff to happen but it's never fully recovered. Shame because it does have a lot to offer.
Thank you for your comment, don't forget to subscribe 👍 AHHHH, @Jumpingspiderlife I now know who you are, I was just chatting to my wife about your channel
Local here i have fond memories of Cleethorpes the donkeys,paddling,the outdoor swimming pool the worse thing they did was get rid of Pleasure Island Theme Park and not replace it what it needs is a small fairground area like Mablethorpe i remember the ghost train down at Wonderland end,I've been to West Sussex beaches and they don't have sand,arcades or souvenir shops so we are lucky
We go to cleethorpes regularly for half a day. Take the dogs on the beach, fish and chips and home. Its fine for that. The haven site is fine for a few days but its not somewhere you would go for a weeks holiday. Armed forces day is a big event. They used to do party on the pier with big acts, i went about 25 years ago, whilst waiting for it to start a girl asked me if i could give her friend more space as she was pregnant. She must have been 14, she was swigging a 2 litre bottle of cider, then dug a hole in the sand, threw up in it and burried it. Its gone downhill since then... 😅 The worst seaside town in that area is skegness purely because of the people. Last time i went the beach was covered in beer cans, used nappies, all sorts. Why people can carry it there but not away will always baffle me. Bridlington has gone that way too.
@@travellingveteran I'm Grimsby born and bred, The Humber is an estuary NOT a river. A river forms when water flows to the surface and flows to the sea, so it has a source. The Humber was formed when two mighty rivers, The Ouse and The Trent met on their way to the sea and together they flowed to the sea. Since it doesn't have a source of its own it cannot be a river.
just added you anyway Cleethorpes is a beautiful place I love in Grimsby definitely not the best place to live rather be in my home city but Cleethorpes beach itself is beautiful xx
Spent the afternoon on the seafront today, it was packed. Blazing sunshine, busy arcades, bustling cafes and eateries, busy pubs. The beach was absolutely heaving with people having a great time. The mini railway and the lollipop train were completely packed. There's also the lovely beaches at The Yacht Club end and at the start of The Fitties (I forget the name now). It's a great place and there's plenty to do.
So much to do in Cleethorpes. Shame the water goes so far out but apart from that. Sun sand plenty for kids to do. Plenty of pubs clubs and good quality restaurants. The reason I emigrated here
I lived in Cleethorpes from 1968 until 1975. It was a great place to live. I came back and stayed at the Kingsway Hotel which is a fabulous hotel ! Lovely memories !
Its a working class ,seaside town ,arcades ice cream parlours ,cafes pubs .bistros ,shops ,swimming baths,everything you need for a holiday ,and i Love it.!
Spent my first day walking around Cleethorpes last week, around the fitties, what a fantastic place, very picturesque, long sandy beach, sand dunes, some world war 2 history and some lovely cafes along the beach front. Take a chance on this little gem and make your own mind up !!
We pop down to Tener-Cleef on train from Barton every month or so from across the Humber and i have to say we love it. Can't believe you didn't cover the miniature steam railway literally 50 yards from the signal box, Papas fish and chips on the pier and the land train. You can get a direct train to Liverpool from the station too.
