Come join me on a tour of Merrivale Model Village on Great Yarmouth Seafront.
I check out this miniature town and railway as I get exclusive access before it opened one Saturday morning! I also check out the Old Penny Arcade which uses real old pennies in the amusements and take a look at the beautifully decorated tea rooms and enjoy a cuppa and a slice of homemade cake.

I remember this when I was a child and we always went late evening when it was lit up. By the way the “seesaw” in the medieval scene was a ducking stool where they tried witches.

Girl on the car bonnet in the showroom gives a whole new meaning to the term dizzy blonde (no offense intended). Last time I went in the model village was about 20 years ago, still recognise some parts, though a lot is new to me. Great vlog.

Interesting! thanks Dave

Many many years ago Great Yarmouth had a fabrication yard that constructed offshore gas/oil platforms. I got sent up to Great Yarmouth to work there for a while. My employer booked me into the Carlton Hotel. During my stay the weather was atrocious & the curtains in the hotel were blowing inward at 45 degrees. It was freezing in the hotel. The best thing of my time was a visit to this model village which was absolutely brilliant even then. It's even better now. Thanks so much for this brilliant video (& all of your other videos).

@jonathanadnitt7704 3 года назад

In all the years going to Yarmouth (and probably because we had little money back in the day) we never visited the Model Village. It was very cool of Frank letting you film around what looks like a very enclosed area and many thanks to your good self in showcasing this part of Yarmouth. And a big congratulations on hitting 25k subs. Well deserved.

My family hate it because they know that every time we go to Yarmouth I want to visit Merrivale. One highlight on a visit was while watching it run past, it derailed and as we tried to warn a staff member, another heading the other way run into the derailed train causing absolute chaos

@majortriumph2450 3 года назад

Loved the video. At 16:05 the model of a woman being dunked into water is called a ducking stool. It was used to punish disorderly women and dishonest tradesmen; a way to humiliate the wayward. Before that it was also used to ascertain whether or not a suspect was a witch.

@WalkWithMeTim 3 года назад

Brilliant Tim. It's lovely. I didn't even know it was there. I used to love model villages. Ramsgate had one many years but it was vandalised a decade ago I think. It was such a shame.

I've been to Merrivale Model Village, came here nearly 3 years ago for my 30th birthday. I took some footage and put it on RU-vid too. 10:08 Wow, I don't recall seeing the sensory garden on my visit either. Has this been added recently? Love the big wheel. 12:19-13:01 Oh dear, no Thomas this time? When I visited there, Thomas was sitting on the track at 13:00. Didn't really check out the arcade. We did visit the tearoom though. Even though I don't visit Great Yarmouth much now, I'd love to visit the Model Village again sometime.

One of the places I've really wanted to visit on my list. Love the look of the penny arcade there's a large antique emporium not far from where I live it's in a place called Eccleston they ave all sorts there including a collection of old penny arcade machines very much like the ones in your video. My favorites are usually the automata like fortune tellers and the laughing sailor.
