- In this adventure I check out the longest pleasure pier in the WORLD! Located in Southend-on-Sea, UK, the pier originally dates back to 1830 with various different changes happening as time went on. In this vlog I take a walk around the 1.3 mile long pier along with experiencing the pier railway!

Thank you for watching Calum. I like to do some research into the places I’m visiting prior to filming the vlogs!
@@TheSanbrookeAdventures I’m a big fan Shawn and Charlotte
Hi
Growing up in Southend it's funny when you hear how many boats have gone through the middle of it! Fires as well surprisingly
Southend pier sounds like a child imagined it. “It’s so long, you can take a train to the end”.
Two trains? It use to be only one years ago. I remember going crabbing as a kid with my parents, loved going to the bowling alley and the fire. Great video of my home town, so thank you
Thank you
OMG! ha ha ha that's me and my friends running it at 7:09, shared to our club, thank you AdventureShawn, we run it often but it's great to get caught on film.
Love it! Thanks for watching
Need to visit this pier and the railway. Great Shawn!
Thank you
Omg I went there about 40 years ago on a mystery trip as a kid , I dropped my 10p through boardwalk about half way down pier, it landed on a girder could see it but not get it , I was so upset. Your vlog brought back so many memories thanks Shawn.
Thanks for watching!
It gets windy the further down you go so it get a little chilly. Bring a jacket! But it's such a chill thing, you'll have a nice time
It sure is!
OMG Shawn that's amazing I'm going to have to do this now I'd think to get my exercise I'd love to walk both ways it looks so good thanks 4 sharing dude
Thank you!
Just found your channel, I live near Southend and you have done the pier proud. Gonna look at some of your other videos. Cheers mate and I've subscribed.
Thank you for watching
BRO I LIVE IN SOUTHEND AND I STILL HAVENT BEEN DOWN THERE
At one point they planned to build a massive roller coaster above the water adjacent to the pier.
Now that would of been awesome!
@@TheSanbrookeAdventures As a Southend resident, the idea of a roller coaster at the end was abhorrent - the charm of the pier is partly its 'get away from it all' feeling. There's plenty of amusements and rides at the shore end. Nice video.
No lol my dad owns the peir rn and they planned a better train not a rollercoster
@@russcottee not true read my other comment
Artsy Annaliese, search up ‘the swine southend pier’.
All the times I’ve been to Southend and I’ve never done the Pier there 😂 Nice to finally see what it’s like! Great video Shawn 😃
It was nice to finally give it a go. Thanks for watching!
The Pier hs been shown many times on TV/pics etc in the past. Must of seen what it was like before this video over 2 years ago lol
I haven't been since before the 04 fire. Though, on the day of it, my brother was there on a school trip.
Also, I'm sure I remember an arcade museum under the pier
Brilliant video!
Thank you. X
Nice vid Shawn, I have walked both ways on this Pier, the train is a nice way to relax and take it in as well. Stay Safe
I was literally there this week 😂 I live in Southend but it was my first time it’s also really pretty round sunset times
I imagine it’s beautiful at sunset! Thanks for watching
I live really nearby to Southend and spent many afternoons enjoying the seafront and pier :)
It’s a wonderful area to visit!
An another nice video from Shawn, Thank you so much.
Thanks!
@@TheSanbrookeAdventures cheers
i love trains and thank you for sharing without skipping. i could ride a train all day long
Thank you very much
Put an RMC on it 😉
I had a little race with the train once when I went along this very pier.
That’s me at 07:04 😂
Can u do cliff top railways, loved them as a kid in 60s&70s espesially bournemouth, nan lived there , happy memories, there repairing it now
that's great Shawn, good vid
Thanks!
Looks like a fun place to visit. I'd try to time my visit at high tide. Rather look at the water than mud flats.
It’s definitely worth a visit later in the day!
Hello Shawn, interesting stuff and great Vlog throughout! Cheers Peter :-) p.s. keep it up! P.P.S. great commentary and editing, it was really informative throughout, so thank you for producing this.
P.P.P.S It looks like you had a great time throughout. Cheers Peter :-)
Thank you. I have some very exciting plans for the channel moving forwards!
@@TheSanbrookeAdventures Hello There, you're welcome, you deserve it, I can't wait to see these plans some into fruition. Cheers Peter :)
We are a real fan of this channel..like the information you give so we can decide if we would like to visit..thanks for the video 😁
Thanks!
Brilliant vlog Shawn nice pier and train ride here glad you enjoyed it mate
Thank you
I walked on it, realised I lost my backpack so had to walk back again and then back then on the train
That’s a long walk!
Shawn This Might Intrest You That There Was A Planned B&M 8 Inversion Sitdown coaster Built AT THE END OF THE PEIR
This project (Named The Swine) Would Have Been A 50 Million pound Plan to add a Rollercoaster And Entertainment complex to the end of the peir
It was Cancelled Due to the costs Of the Project And the Fact That The Supports for the coaster Would Be Huge Due to the fact it would have to be built under the sea at the bottom
Thanks for sharing!
Use to love bunking on there after dark when we was kids fishing for cod thornback Ray's and giant bass from the end nowadays your lucky to get a few pin head Whiting .that's if the pier cat doesn't knock your bait lol
I swear Shawn is the Wikipedia of RUclips
Why do I keep missing you! I was there 3 days ago!
Loved the video Shaun. Cheers. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you
Nice, positive vid, well done👍 there is a seal colony off the coast and sometimes, when the tides in, you can spot them around the end of the pier!
Thank you!
I figured you took the train back because you like trains. That walk seems like a drop in the bucket compared to how much walking you do in theme parks. :)
I do love the trains!
I look forward to watching now.
Your videos are great.
Thank you
AdventureShawn
Did you go to Southport pier the other week?
this is well weird i live here ahah
I went their yesterday
I was there just a couple of weeks ago and i must say the beach is one of the hideous ones i hav ever been to.
It’s not the best beach sadly!
was free to walk when I went there years ago.
Have you ever been to Hampton Court Palace as it was the home of King Henry? Very good pier railway. £5 will be cheap as chips which is what Mr Dickinson will say. LOL..
I’d like to check it out!
I went on that pier walked one way and got the train the other way
It’s a long walk but it’s worth it!
Love southend pier! I'm from Southend so like a 10min walk for me lol but it great place to be, and a great vlog mate
It’s a great pier indeed. Thanks for watching!
@@TheSanbrookeAdventures your welcome buddy!
Another great AdventureShawn Vlog Shawn mate 👍🏻
Thank you
AdventureShawn you’re welcome mate 👍🏻
I've been along Southport Pier the second longest pier in Britain
but you can't get right to the top because the gates close at 9 oclock so you can't get right to the end
I had to go the next morning
but my next ambition is the longest one in Britain which is south end
Oh wow,I’ve never thought to fo this but next time I go I might do it :D
It’s definitely worth it
Ryde pier on the isle of Wight has tube trains in service from 1938
I’ll have to check that out!
It is what puts me off going to Ryde the to long pier. I thought Ryde pier
Was the longest in the world!
Loved it man!!
Would love to go but I usually am up in the north of England when I go and it’s a trek down there 😂
Thanks for watching!
That was a very long pier, atleast you can ride out or back ❤❤
That’s the great thing about it!
Didn't Jamie Oliver the naked chef film a series on this pier a few year ago? didn't see the cafe bit he used, unless it was just erected for the series. Thanks for your vlogs Sean always fun to watch on both channels.
I believe so!
Lovely
Thanks Paul
Love it Shawn keep the videos up
Thank you
Very nice Shawn.
Thanks
lots of love to my bro Shawn 😀😃
Thanks!
Great vlog.
Please go on a London Thames clipper boat ride if you visit London another time.
Thanks for your suggestion!
This is so cool!
Thanks Milly
How long does it take to walk around the whole thing?
Has long as you want lol 😂 it’s about 20mins each way depending on how fast or slow you walk
It takes around 20 minutes each way
you said longest pleasure pier in the world! does that also mean the longest pier of any kind in the world? please let me know! once again shawn doing outstanding work in on his other channel !! By the way , i love both channels!
I believe the longest pier is in Mexico!
@@TheSanbrookeAdventures thanks
Ive just done a Google search and yes the worlds longest pier is in Progreso Mexico, it’s basically a 4mile long road that goes out to a cruise liner terminal and it’s technically not a traditional pier as we know them as as it’s made up of rocks, have a look on Google maps 👍🏻
Hi! What camera do you use? The quality is amazing!
I use a Sony AX53
Southport Pier the second longest in uk and is free to walk along, rip off needing to pay
Unfortunately so
When I was a kid in the sixties the end of the pier was more entertaining it had all sorts I can't understand why they don't put more at the end . At the start of the pier there used to be a bowling ally.i nearly lived on it southend has changed so much for the worse.
Thanks for the information
Bryan Callahan Yes, I’m pretty sure I remember seeing a ghost train at the end, as part of a large building. That would have been destroyed with one of the fires.
I live in Southend 😂😂
hey Shawn i have another question, what camera did you used in the Paris vlogs?
I used my Sony AX53
Huge pier
Shawn how come you did not do it later when the sea is there. Not
Much point doing it so early like
This when sea is not there.
I was visiting Adventure Island that day too
Have you been to the national media museum before? (it's in Bradford).
I’ve never visited!
@@TheSanbrookeAdventures you should do.
Imagine is the distance for social distancing was the length of the pier? 😂😂
Move it to southport it might go to the sea😂😂😂
South end
I live there lol XD
Hi shawn
Where are the amusements?
There’s none on the pier
AdventureShawn That’s what I mean. A pointless pier.
There used to be end-of-Pier amusements, before they burnt down. There also used to be a big amusement park called The Kursaal, a little way along the front, which must have been somewhat similar to Blackpool Pleasure Beach in its prime. The front entrance building of that is still there, but they built residential properties all over the rest of it. I remember going there in it’s final days, when just a small ride area was left. There was a wild mouse coaster, a rotor, a calypso, maybe a couple of other things. By that time, it was a sad mess. Southend has a lot of history when it comes to amusements.
@@GbHandlebar What did they burn it down for? That was stupid of them.
Danielle Dewitt Someone likely through a lighted cigarette onto something flammable. A lot of fires used to get started like that, back when smoking was allowed in pretty much any public place.
Is this the pier that Jamie Oliver has a restaurant?
Not that I saw
@@TheSanbrookeAdventures there is a cabin on the pier that was used as the set for Jamie and Jimmy's Friday night feast. But unfortunately it is not an actual operational restaurant.
so no sign of Jamie Oliver then? lol
I didn’t see him!
Southend pier is a load of crap has been for years, its falling apart, and neglected. what happened to all that insurance money when the pier burnt down ?
First
You have to pay for a walk? Whaaaat?!
You do
It pays towards the upkeep.
