You made my day. I studied in chelsea college of aeronautical and automobile engineering at shorham Airport, now kn 13:41 own as North brook college between 1975 and 1978 . I still remember the walk as some times I use to take train and walk through the chirch through the high street you missed the tudor bridge and the wooden bridge . And I wish you took us to the airport where my college used to be. Shorham Airport is famous for WW11 and are displaying some historic pictures . Thanks again for taking me down the memory lane ❤
I'm very glad I could bring back some old memories for you :) its part of the joy of making videos for this channel - people like yourself reach out to say they were able to see a place they once lived or once spent time. Many thanks for your message and have a wonderful day! Alex
@WonderingEnglishman each time I visit England I make sure to visit Brighton and shoraham as I have great memories of the two. And I spent my best days of life great places and great brightonions ❤❤
@@humayunkabir9279 I hope there will be many more visits :) new content on England coming to this channel as well as other parts of Europe & the world. Watch this space! Appreciate the view, the comments and the insight into those that walked before me :)
@@TheWonderingEnglishman. It is my wish to spend my retirement in Brighton/ shoraham, however I visited both the places in 2019 but found them very expensive to pass retirement . However it is still great to visit Brighton/ shoraham
I was born and brought up in Shoreham BY Sea, haven't been back for 20 years, but the part of the beach where you walked past the Church of the Good Shepherd (just before you got your cup or tea!) really reminded me of my youth. As you say, the fish and chips are the best, and remind me of walking back from school, taking the train from Worthing and buying 2d worth of scraps and chips in the town. Thank you for the video
David thank you kindly for leaving a comment - Its comments like this that make the whole youtube process worthwhile. I'm certain it was a great place to grow up :) I hope to return someday when the hot weather returns to check it out further. Best regards to wherever you now reside :)
@@TheWonderingEnglishman I now live in Los Angeles, which is a little different from Shoreham! The main difference being between a small seaside English town and a big bustling American one. I have subscribed and will come back regularly to this excellent RUclips.. So, see you around! Keep up the great work please!
So you are Leo sayers town mate . Indeed the fish and chips shop at main bus stop serves the best fish and chips . I have great memories of that place .
@@humayunkabir9279 One of the mysteries in my life is around the time in the 60's when I worked for a couple of summer holidays from school at the NSU importing facilities on Beach Green (or was it Harbour Way?) helping to de-grease the cars getting them ready to distribute to their sales points around the country. I seem to remember another boy also worked there by the name of Gerard Sayer, who was the same age as me. To this day, I can't make up my mind whether he was the actual Leo Sayer who went on to greater things! I don't suppose that mystery would ever be solved now!
@@TheWonderingEnglishman Sorry, not sure about the flats, although I don't think so. I thought you were talking about the detached houses that back onto the beach.
4:30 I've lived in Shoreham all my life, that Gent on the bike is a lovely chap and has been riding that same bike around the town since I can remember. He's a local legend.
Visited shore ham today - much better and quint than you showed. The churches and graveyards and the ferry bridge wer lovely. Decent pub and a real nice curry in an Indian restaurant. I’d visit Brighton and shoreham ina day.
Aaahhh maaann I miss those sights. I traveled to Cornwall and Lands End Cheddar and other small cities and villages round about. Love the sound of seagulls. I would love to travels one day to Lake District and Scotland. Wonderful video keep them coming.
Those are all wonderful places you speak of. Sadly i visited all before my youtube days but I hope to capture more of those fantastic places in future visits:) Hope you make it to the lake district and Scotland both are magical best advice a week + with a car and head north through lake district and then onto Scotland to take in the lochs cities and coasts :)
As an American I chuckle when you casually mention that the church and area are from the eleventh century. We think it’s a big deal to have my mother’s early settlers relatives buried in a cemetery going back to the early 1700s. I do understand time when I visit Westminster abbey. Lovely tour including the fish and chips. I would love to see Bath and Cornwall in your videos. You could also interview the locals in your videos too. I’m still waiting for you to wear the blue janes bond swim trunks in your video. As far as beaches Miami Beach , Aruba’s strip , Malibu , Chicago’s oak street beach and Michigan’s secret beaches with sand are all amazing. We even have the Michigan and Indiana dunes. A beach need sand not pebbles. Glad you got out the sea or ocean is always calming. Even happier the Nazis didn’t get to invade. Your clips would be in German and I wouldn’t be alive to see them. We defeated the tear down of the Columbus statute in Chicago. There are still enough Italians left to stop the nonsense. C
I saw videos of those brave Italian's defending Chicago. Those are real Americans! The UK and Europe does have a lot of history hence it saddens me to see the rabble desecrating thousands of Europe's Churches over the last few years. The latest only at the weekend in Nantes France by a man fresh off the boat bitter and twisted by what great men of our past had built. Yes i have to say my weakness is my lack of interviewing with locals in all my videos. I must try harder to capture those moments. However, even the locals in shoreham didn't want to be on camera. And when I was in Cork ireland last week I saw a protest by some lovely ladies who had just been made unemployed by a big retailer in the centre. I asked them if I could interview them to help their cause even they refused. Its amazing how camera shy some people are - or maybe they just aren't Subs to my channel :)
The wondering Englishman subs yet. The churches being torched are terrible. I saw that it was a blaze but never saw the follow up on who did it intentionally.
An illegal fron Rawanda linked to the fire. However, once again they will fail to get enough evidence to charge him or anyone. Notre Dame was also Arson but the authorities will never admit that. freewestmedia.com/2020/07/20/illegal-african-immigrant-questioned-about-nantes-cathedral-arson/
The wondering Englishman I agree Notre Dame was arson too. Apparently the number of fires in churches is suppressed as much as the attacks on South African farmers. I really enjoyed your shoreham trek with the fish and chips. I’m near new buffalo union pier and st jospehs Michigan beaches this summer. I’m planning on staying out of Chicago for at least a year. The courthouses are all using zoom conferences and I think that will continue indefinitely for many cases. I’m miles from the lovely university of Notre Dame campus. It’s nice to be on five acres with a pool and jacuzzi and a garden. There are lavender fields near here too on a thirty acre farm. The Amish country in Indiana is an hour away. Amazon delivers here and Whole Foods. My hometown is now all built up with dining and shops and boutiques. Not sure how drew binsky built his subscriptions and vlog. I will have to see your Instagram I’m getting used to that but only so many hours in the day. Hopefully travel will resume by next summer and the virus with be dealt with. The number of business failures here will be staggering along with loss of homes.
The wondering Englishman just rewatched Keira knightly pride and prejudice although Colin is mr Darcy. Any travel to the Peak District or even the cotswald ? There are beautiful places in Britain I haven’t seen yet a train ride for you to explore. It’s still garden time even high grove ????
somehow it looks so sad, empty streets, empty muddy beach but i guess all countries look similar these days, my country too. I hope this will be over soon. I have been to London a few times, I would like to visit Brighton next time I come, it looks interesting in pictures :)
Well i did pick a grey day and a weekday. If I was the travel channel you would get blue skies and filtered views. Here you get the gritty realism and the consequences of lockdown :) Brighton is nice although very messy at weekends due to the crowds and the very prolific gay scene.
@@TheWonderingEnglishman Keep filming without filters, i would like to see more small towns like this especially local people and customs. btw didn't know that about Brighton hehe maybe I watch too many filtered videos
The wondering Englishman one of the beaches in Cornwall was beautiful. I can’t remember the name but it was nice. In terms of worldwide, Mauritius 🇲🇺 is one of the best I’ve seen 😋
Durdle Door is beautiful. Strangely Scottish beaches are also amazing if you can find a break from the rain! Ill take White sand over stones all day long :)
Being a resident for the past, ooh, 40 odd years, I can say,, with absolute certainty 'what a 💩hole'. Used to be, alright I guess, now it's over populated,(without adequate ammenities/services to compensate.. classic case of build as many new properties as possible, but don't increase availability of services). Does make me chuckle the properties being sold with promisess of 'scenic River views'..well, if mud flats for large portions of the day are your thing 🤣🤣. The shopping experience has also morphed over the years.. from being of a wide variety, to being largely of the 'foodie/pretentious ilk'. Except for a handful of core businesses around the town, Shoreham town centre is now, essentially a 'revolving door' as very few, especially 'niche stores' survive more than 3 & a half seconds.
I don't work for the travel or history channel. It was a small adventure i always appreciate it when subscribers or viewers leave comments with more information as it adds value to the place :)
I think you need to get a good gimbal as the movements are a bit too much of a roller coaster and create nausea in the viewer. I’d recommend buying an OM5. Good content but poor filming spoils this film.
Actually Shoreham is SHIT. Steyning and Bramber and Beading are picturesque villages/hamlets just round the corner and Worthing is a smaller, more conventional Brighton a bit further then that. No, Shoreham is not frequently visited by surrounding people unless they have plenty of grey hairs and a face crammed with wrinkles. PS,thanks for blessing Shoreham-by-see with your granny killing London germs. :D
You're talking cr*p. I live in Shoreham and I'm only 86 with NO 'grey hairs as I have the 'Kojak' look (and I'm a very spritely LADY). My face isn't 'crammed with wrinkles', either, but my arse is another matter. Anyway, you seem a really nice person - very charming and positive, and not at all ageist. LOL.

Those "council houses" backing onto the beach are all worth at least a £1,000,000!
The crazy inflated world we live in! But fair play to those who got right to buy under Thatcher..
They never were council houses!
The 5 story tower blocks?
@@TheWonderingEnglishman Sorry, not sure about the flats, although I don't think so. I thought you were talking about the detached houses that back onto the beach.
Nope the rows upon rows of flats
The houses are all clesrly private and very expensive.
Don't get me wrong its a lovely place.
Tjankyou for visiting hope to move here in the near future.
4:30 I've lived in Shoreham all my life, that Gent on the bike is a lovely chap and has been riding that same bike around the town since I can remember. He's a local legend.
He looked the Legend type!
Where do you live?
But there are beaches in the Shetland Isles aren't there?
So, you're saying that the guy is 'The local bike'! (anyone know his route.. asking for a friend 🤣)
Great place , I have great memories of shorham .
Great video Alex. Brilliant to see you focusing on places in UK. Urging me to visit the seaside now. Thanks for the inspiration 👍🏼😎

Reach out before you do. And remember to try the whisky along the way- obviously after the days driving ;)
@@TheWonderingEnglishman sorry I don't really drink alcohol, at the tops maybe a fruit flavoured cider, or a glass of champagne.
Yahhh that's me.

You could always make a video…

Very informative. Thank you.
You are welcome - plenty more content to come :)
if you went east more towards the very end of Shoreham beach there is an ancient fort to explore
Yep! I missed out on that one due to the terrible weather that set in partway through the day - next time! Thank you for watching though :)
Who else searches up the town that they live in
Hopefully you shared it with a neighbour ;)
I live here and when facing blundens if you go to the right and through a little alleyway you are on my street
Next time :)

oh this isnt the one in austrlia??? What. Ok lol
Nope... but I bet you can guess which came first ;)
@@TheWonderingEnglishman no... which one tell me >:)
Every place existed in England by name before it came to be named in Australia, USA and even Canada.
