I have lived close to and visited Great Yarmouth for most of my life and remember going to most of the attractions and when the waterways had lights featuring nursery rhyme characters on the islands making it a magical place to be for a child in the 50s. This is a great ,comprehensive look at the seafront and I have been very impressed by the good commentary . Thank you!

Went on holiday with my mum and dad every year from the early 60's to 70's,have so so many happy memories of those wonderful carefree days,couldn't wait to get to the pleasure beach and the roller coaster,i think 7 times in a row was my max.Took my dear mum back after my dad died,i could see she was full of memories.It all changed and like this wicked world today life is crap.Nothing though can take our good times away.

I also spent a few very happy holidays is Great Yarmouth, every August from around mid 1960's to 1975. We visited my grandmother who lived near the old Southtown station. Nan died in 1975 and I didn't return til many years later, with my wife. I showed her all the old sites and found a lot was the same, including Joyland, with the snails ride !

@ginaharvey3000 4 года назад

Love your videos. I use to holiday as a child with my family in the mid seventies and eighties in the area. Staying in California. I remember going to the top of the Oasis tower and watching shows at the Windmill amongst other happy memories. Enjoyed taking my children on the Snails last year 😊

@WalkWithMeTim 4 года назад

Thanks for the memories gina

@christopherland4240 4 года назад

I have never seen Great Yarmouth looking so quiet, we are so used to the hustle and bustle with the noise from the amusement arcades etc. I have been up the tower in the past when it was called the Oasis. That was very early 70`s though. The snails are a family favourite of ours and the wife and I will have a go for old times sake, it just has to be done. I have been to the circus twice, once was many years ago with my parents then again around 10 years ago with my wife and two children. It is still a real spectacle especially the ring when it drops and fills with water. I also remember going on the Water Ways on a guided boat, there again that would have been very early 70`s. It is such a shame that Great Yarmouth lost it`s greatness, millions have been spent to try and regenerate it but it seems that it needs millions more to turn it around to it`s former glory. There are still many areas which need changing, two you mentioned were the aquarium and the Winter Gardens. The beaches were also packed in my day as well, but they are never that busy anymore. Perhaps things may change due to the virus and people will return again to our holiday resorts if going abroad is much harder to do. There is often good coming out of bad. Keep up with the videos Tim, perhaps you could do a walk around Reedham or Horsey at some point.

I visited Great Yarmouth as a kid in the mid 80's to mid 90's. So many memories are flooding back, far too many to mention. Highlight of the day was Snails, tubs and then trampolines on the beach, followed by a drink in the amusements whilst playing on the penny pushers. Once a week we would go and watch the Norfolkline ferry come in. Thanks for the trip down memory lane l feel like l'm 5 again.

@afflulifestyle1784 4 года назад

I think that was the best times in the 80's & 90's at Great Yarmouth everything felt so carefree. So many great memories, we spent so much money in the arcades. The chips & doughnuts were so nice. See a lot of things still survived though. Thanks for the video.

This is a gem of a vlog Tim. Absolutely magical 😍 the Snow on the Beach! I don't think I've ever seen just a thick layer of Snow on any beach! Not on TV & I've never seen a Snowy Beach in real life! You were very brave walking under the pier in that wild windy & freezing cold weather. You sounded cold! There was hardly anybody else out that day & this was filmed last Winter! Or the Winter of 2020. Before I joined your channel, I remember we all had quite thick snow in the winter of 2021 & 2020. The Palm Trees in those Gardens near the Seafront looked funny with the Snow! And the seaside attractions looked quite odd in the snow like long forgotten places. The Beach Huts did look pretty against the snow. You walked so far out to the Sea on the snowy sand! Sounded like you were really enjoying yourself Tim! I loved it when you said " no one else on the beach but me!"

Great memories . Hardly missed a summer in Yarmouth since 1970. You used to be able to boat ride the waterways. I love Blackpool as well but Yarmouth is far cleaner and with the numerous places to visit it wins hands down . Tip for any visitors the motor car collection at Caister Castle is a must .

From tiny tot to stroppy teenager I went to Great Yarmouth with my family every year and we stayed near the Wellington pier .It was a magical place to be,such great acts on the piers I remember seeing Morecambe and Wise,Tommy Cooper, Leslie Crowther to name a few. My favourite was the circus and we always went on a Wednesday and a great night out at the bierkeller, it was a walk down memory lane thank you

What a fantastic video, I spent all of my childhood living in Norfolk as both my parents use to work on a boat yard in Wroxham, and they would take my brother sister and myself to the pleasure beach during the summer in the 1970's. I now take my son there nearly every year, he love's the pleasure beach (we now stay in the new Premier Inn next to the Pleasure beach). It is well worth the drive from Cornwall even if we are going just for a few days!

Great Videos and great memories. I lived in Great Yarmouth from 1976 to 1979. My dad worked in the oil industry and we had quite a bit of American families living there. Had a small American School in Bradwell. I was 12 years old then and now 55 and want to plan a trip to go back and visit. I have found memories of Regent road and every Saturday morning we would bowling at the Regent Bowling. I remember a little hole in the wall gyro and moussaka place around the corner from there. I will be watching all your videos and look forward to going back and visit.

@WalkWithMeTim 4 года назад

Wow cowboy town sound good fun ..

@jaguar6519 4 года назад

@@WalkWithMeTim , yeah the cow boy town if you looked from the air it was horse shoe shaped it wasn't a tacky affaire it was properly done it was like a living museum and you would get bank robbers on the roof shooting at the sheriff and his deputy's and they would fall from the roofs onto a carefully placed boxes that were stacked about 7 to 8 foot high. the other thing i wanted to mention was the tower i went up it there wasn't much up there it was just an open space were you walked round and look through one of those telescopes you see on blackpool front but you could see for miles.

Another place I used to spend alot time with my family as a child, i still do to this day. Great Yarmouth has given our family such great days out. It's now become an annual MUST to get along the seafront and enjoy all of the amusement attractions. I now have a wife and a little boy, i've even gotten her into loving Yarmouth's seaside attractions. It's amazing to still be enjoying it years on from my childhood. Does anyone remember the Ghostbusters ride? It was about halfway down the main seafront strip. Was basically a virtual reality ride. I used to absolutely love it. It just suddenly disappeared :( Great video btw. It's great to see someone showing some love for the local scene! :)

Good informative video. My wife and I live in Overstrand, near to Cromer. We like to take the occasional drive through the coastal villages to have a lunch at Yarmouth and walk along Regent Road to the market place. Looking forward to doing that again when lockdown finishes. Keep up the good work.

I've just watched the bit about the 'House Of Wax' again. Personally, I knew it was limited but I always enjoyed the contents. The Margaret Thatcher wax-work was pretty good, as I remember. I still have the photograph of it - it's very life-like. You're film has made me want to visit Yarmouth. I might even try and get down there after the restrictions have been lifted - might even try and see the blue snails. Keep up the good work, friend. Respect.

Excellent video of that weird lockdown time with everything so empty. I see that since this video, the new marina centre has opened and there’s been a lot of grants / lottery money for the town including the repair of the Winter Gardens - hopefully good times are coming back again!

@Leanne-Lea 4 года назад

It's good to see they finally built those new shops. I was on holiday the day it caught on fire on the friday which is a shame as the day before my kids wanted to go bowling there but it was too busy. We went last year and it was a just massive space with a metal wall panels up

@WalkWithMeTim 3 года назад

yes it was quick too!

@sandrataylor7400 4 года назад

Even though I cannot go out at present I miss walking along the sea front at GY and also along the beach from Winterton to Hemsby so lovely to go on your walk. Looking forward to your History Walk been on a couple of the organised ones on a Sunday. I walked the Water Ways when first opened last year and a lovely spot look forward hopefully doing it again this year. Kate recommend your site on her video today.

We stayed at Heacham Manor last year for a very brief visit and the following morning only had about an hour to take a look at Hunstanton and was overwhelmed by it's natural beauty and is on my to do list to stay for a few days, this is another great vlog Tim and have shown the full scale of what Hunstanton has to offer, I also have to say you have a great eye for attention to detail Tim, the gardens are absolutely stunning and I too wish that I had a bigger garden to accommodate a floral boat, thanks for sharing 👍

@WalkWithMeTim 4 года назад

thanks, Stephen .. going to need a bigger garden

I was asleep in a B&B 2 blocks away to the north when that fire happened. Watched them damping down the morning after. The pub on the prom is a fantastic place for a meal and a beer. First went to Gt Yarmouth when I was 9, back in 1987. Went up the Oasis Tower, and you look right across to Berney Arms mill on Breydon water. Did the circus a few years ago, and love the Rollercoaster.

Wow, what a great video! I'm originally from north Italy, lived in London for 16 and half years and moved to Yarmouth 6 years ago. However I knew absolutely nothing about this place. Thanks for the tour. You showed a lots of interesting places and shared some nice history. At least now I know a bit more of this small city 👍😉
