Bad Vibes In Deprived Seaside Town 🇬🇧

Great Yarmouth is a seaside town on the East coast of England in Norfolk. It is synonymous with classic British seaside tourism, and one of the original holiday resorts in the country. The town's seafront, know as 'the golden mile, attracts millions of visitors annually to its amusements and vast golden beach. The truth, however, is that Great Yarmouth is now a town in decline and is suffering from harsh deprivation. Much of the work available is very seasonal and the lack of year round work results in much poverty for many. I decided to visit the town in the 'off season' to see what life is really like for the people that live there. I discovered a troubled and decaying town where angry locals are not happy with the faded reality of this once great seaside town in 2024.

Used to holiday there '89-'96 was an ace place. Full of life. My Grandfather used to take us there. Used to meet up with the same holiday makers and had friends who were locals. Images and videos always trigger treasured and fond memories of my Grandad and of my youth. It's such a shame to see that the locals have fallen out of love with the town. It's a sign of recent times and puzzling in the same measure. Part of my heart will always be in Great Yarmouth. ❤️

@birchna 3 месяца назад

Biggest thing Great Yarmouth council could do would be to try and funnel more of their limited resources into ensuring a core part of it remains attractive in the way Southend clearly has. Would also be nice to have a companion video of Cromer/Sheringham perhaps. This isn't representative of Norfolk as a whole.

@Islandicus 3 месяца назад

Cromer is a lovely seaside town. In fact, I prefer it during the off-peak season as it's just so busy in the summer. I went one December when it was snowing and it was absolutely magical.

@sammiehall4415 3 месяца назад

I love the norfolk coast but the bigger coastal places that are and were aimed at family's and kids for caravan seaside holidays have been neglected, the small coastal villages their is nothing like it norfolk is a gem, even old Hunstanton has its charm, wells, Snettisham, a coastal drive through them all and you will see the best, those little villages are more expensive and more geared to elders so family's most likely wouldn't find them attractive as cheap meals what kids like aren't really available.

@MrBozack 3 месяца назад

I appreciate the tourism pitch but, these leisure facilities are priced out of most of the locals' budget The new pool's admission fee is over double. The outer harbour that doesn't benefit the average local? Damp council houses, if you're one of the lucky ones. Instrument wielding teenagers robbing everything on wheels in Gorleston and Caister. All of this with a healthcare system rivalling a teddy bear's picnic in organisation skills. Meanwhile there's lots of new and shiny cars parked outside the Town Hall. In fairness, the council do provide employment to over 10000000 gardeners just not that many cleaners.....

@daryld4457 2 месяца назад

Ermmm I don't know about Gorleston, it's fairly rough in areas, but Caister? I live there and have never seen roving gangs of tooled up kids. The worst you get is occasionally a group of teenagers hanging around outside of COOP, but what village hasn't got a shop where bored kids congregate at?

Great Yarmouth has a wonderful beach, pier and promenade. It is let down by a lack of original shops and, not to be unkind, substandard accommodation. People's expectations are higher nowadays but if you are going to pay £60 a night for a room then you shouldn't have mismatched furniture and an outdated bathroom in your hotel room. Local businesses struggle because the council does not invest sufficiently in the town to make it a desirable destination. But I still visit every year because I love the sea and I know these businesses need our custom. Fish and chips are fabulous and there is also a great Vietnamese restaurant. Great Yarmouth could be an absolute jewel.

Holidays to Yarmouth were the highlight of my year in the 60s. My Gran lived in Bradwell in a prefab... We would go to Yarmouth beach and have to hunt for a space while Dad went to hire deckchairs, ( for the adults!) Returning this summer and will enjoy the visit, the beach and the memories

Busy in the summer as all UK seaside towns are. It doesn't help that school children can only be taken to these places during holidays since heavy fines are put in place otherwise.

Poor Great Yarmouth suffered a number of catastrophes. Once one of the great commercial ports of England (amazing surviving architecture here and there). The war did huge damage, the planners finished that off afterwards. The Herring (remember it was massive fishing port) were overfished and went away. Finally, as a holiday destination it struggles with package deals. Yet still, it has possibilities.

@jondavidgriffin 2 месяца назад

It would be great if you went back in summer so we can all see the contrast. I'm sure the vibe is totally different.

I have lived in Yarmouth for about 3 years now. Love the history of the town (every street seems to have a blue plaque) shame that many of the inhabitants seem unaware of that history and you look at pictures of the town in its heyday and think "what happened?" That said, the locals are all nice, some are a bit rough around the edges but you can hardly blame them for what is the result of years of neglect from politicans etc The sea front is still lovely to walk down (though I tend to walk away from the "golden mile" with all the tacky amusement arcades) and in summer I can think of nowhere else I would rather be, the town really comes to life, fireworks every Wednesday evening, events during the day, the town full of holidaymakers

@goodoldtoasty223 2 месяца назад

Sorry to be the breaker of bad news. This year the fireworks in Hemsby and Yarmouth will not be going on unfortunately. The organisation that delivers those firework displays has moved its biggest event of the year to may and everyone involved will be busy organising that.

@jamesporter2542 3 месяца назад

I used to live in Yarmouth; I used to holiday there every year as a boy until the chance came to move. But after a flood in the house, I was forced to move outside Yarmouth and all the move did was make me realize how much I miss Yarmouth - though now I wouldn't wanna move back. A lot of the areas are rough but as strange as it sounds, I feel safer in Yarmouth than I ever did in Birmingham. You can't get me to say anything bad about Norwich though

I'd be interested to see you do one of these in a well loved seaside town. I know the point it to detail deteriarion, but I think it would still be interesting. I live around the coast in Cromer. Sure, it's a little shabby in parts, but even on a drab winter Monday, it's still very busy with a constant through flow of people. I would imagine quizing the locals here would garner a very different response to the responses around Yarmouth.

I am a born & bred Guernsey girl and lived in South Norfolk for 10 years (from 2005 to 2015). I went to Yarmouth a few times over those years and personally didn’t find it that bad. Used to take my daughters to the beach and swimming. Obviously it was never going to be as lovely as our Guernsey beaches but we enjoyed our times there. Possibly Yarmouth has gone downhill in the 9 years I’ve been back in Guernsey. Was interesting to see the puppet man in the video as I used to see him a lot in Norwich when I worked there. Bit of a local legend!

@reececollison5101 3 месяца назад

I live not far from Gt Yarmouth, in Norwich. It’s really not as bad as made out in this video. The clientele isn’t the best. It does have a reputation amongst us Norfolkers for being a bit downmarket, it is a typical run down seaside town but it’s a good laugh for a day out. And they have put a lot of money into rejuvenating the town centre. It’s far from Knightsbridge, but it’s also far from the odious, baron monstrosity being portrayed in this video
