Bad Vibes In Deprived Seaside Town 🇬🇧
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- 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.

outside of summer seaside towns can be incredibly gloomy places
My seaside town in the south of Spain is beautiful outside the summer.
i love British seaside places in spring and early autumn, the crowds, noise and litter are less than summer and the sea front is lovely to walk along
@@baddoopeymine in the Eastern part is a complete ghost town
Perhaps they could move Great Yarmouth to southern Spain 🤔?@@baddoopey
I live in Newquay, and it’s still pretty lively with surfers etc. I love winter here and Cornwall in general, great surf and big empty beaches.
Been going Yarmouth for years on our family holidays and always will as I believe in embracing our seaside towns 🏴
I grew up in Lowestoft in Suffolk and spent loads of time every summer in Yarmouth (in the 1980s) and used to love it. I moved to the south west when I was about 15 and it's so sad to see what it's become.
In the 50' s we went to see the lights, they were brilliant
I've been living in Lowestoft for the past 15 years; if you haven't been back, I don't think you'll recognise the town now
I went to Lowestoft 2 years ago...beautiful beach, amazing really on a hot summer's day... Unfortunately I also saw a lot of Drink and Drug users too, and felt incredibly unsafe.
Nothing to worry about during the day; it becomes grim in town once the shops have closed @@ChubbyChecker182
I was about to say that in my experience Lowestoft is even worse - which you must already know as you'd had rather spend time In Yarmouth!
the old guy waddling along saying bollocks to the council was hilarious but why did you let him go? Put the camera on him and let him vent. I could watch him rant forever 🤣🤣
The old Man is a STAR say it how it is.
@@chrisdeller2397 I agree
Hilarious and right all at the same time.
Id vote for him above any current lot 😂
was this part of the video deleted? I can't see it.
I read the "Downslide" started in the Late 70's with the Cheap Package deals to places like Benidorm.
Loved that guy who still can't speak English 4 years after arriving but then understood the question and answered it in English
Welcome to Britain....bring ALL the family and friends....
I think it was a joke. He'd rather not comment on the current state of Yarmouth
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. ❤️
We still go every year and love it there so this youtuber can fuck off imo
Yes please come back in the summer. We have a revamped market, lovely seafront leisure centre, watergardens, boating lake, new bridge to ease congestion. Fantastic beach, loads of entertainment galore. But needs Constance updateing, council doing good things, and a few mistakes. Come and enjoy it, BOOK NOW.
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.....
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?
We go Great Yarmouth every year . Love it so much
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.
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.
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.
Agree Norfolk in the main is a lovely part of the UK
It is representative of incompetent council management though in the county.
Norfolk is famously heavily inbred
Betting shops, 'amusement' arcades, cheap cider. How dare they ask for more!
and £1.00 burgers....the cheek of it...
But it hard to get skag now.Blame that on police enforcement
@@michaelmcginley7930 Why would you let the coppers take the credit for the work of the Taliban and Russians?
Every Proletarian Reservation should have its own police force.

Personally I think one of the main reasons seaside towns are declining is because people are snobby about holidaying in areas like this and package holidays abroad are cheaper. I love going to Yarmouth, personally
Live in sussex and my town was packed but we are way nearer to london. All seaside towns have problems
@@robdubz1510 some parts of the Sussex coast have a good reputation. Unlike Yarmouth which is known for tacky chavy holidays. Get a lot of Londoners holiday there, too.
I love that you can go to almost anywhere in the UK now and have a post apocalyptic experience.
Underrated comment.
Me and the wife have at least 2 caravan holidays a year in Norfolk and we always visit Yarmouth we like it also Hemsby, but seeing Yarmouth in the winter is a real eye opener and very sad. Cheers 🍻
Me and my partner went for a night away in the winter in Yarmouth. It really feels like a different place in the winter and not in a good way. The town is very run down
The problem is these towns are run by councils who dont know what they are doing. The councillors are not qualified or experienced to run a town. We need something like the hotel inspector, a team who know what they are doing to go into the town and advise the councils to get them on the right path.
It's bizarre how the government is allowing this country to go to rot, you'd think they'd be on the side of the property developers but no, they're letting everything collapse.
It’s a real shame to see the ornate late 19th century architecture of the guest houses in decline. PLEASE SOMEONE invest in this once great town and bring it back for the residents and staycationers alike
Im a suffolk girl Grt Yarmouth was a beautiful when I was a kid with wax works and amusements but it's got worse and worse go there most years in the summer it still in my heart the wooden roller coster was used in the madness house of fun video!! Love the roller coster but rusty as hell underneath it !!!
You need to ask “why?” People are saying it’s changed for the worse, and that it’s not safe at night, but you don’t ask what caused all this decay? What’s the reason, and who is responsible?
Do you live there?
We al know why but dare not say.

Whether or not the old bloke at the start does pay his council tax or not he's right UK is left to rot
Grew up in Gorleston on the other side of the river and can honestly say that Great Yarmouth has gone down hill massively in the last fifteen years. I was back on the market place a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday morning for the first time in eight years and could not believe how few people were about and how bad it was. It's a shadow of what it used to be.
Wendall. Its February any British sea side town is closed ,yarmouth does have a few problems like every where these days ,but you seem to have a knack of finding people with issues. The main strip regents road is not all boarded up they are just closed for the winter. Peacocks near the new market is getting a new sign put up in the next few weeks .winter gardens been given millions to redevelop .please dont judge there is a lot of good work taking place .
. good news doesn't sell.....
Haha it’s a shite hole 😂 look at the state of the place and the people ! Sad to see but it’s reality
This is what he does. Goes straight for lunatics and films then having a meltdown and uses it as a clickbait thumbnail for his video. It’s very morally bankrupt. I couldn’t live with myself if I did that.
By Easter Regent Road will be alive and full of tourists.... The shopkeeper he interviewed didn't do us any favours though but there again bad news is easier to 'sell'... Apart from a couple of overpriced shops and two restaurants there are no vacant spots in Regent Road this year.... Best place in Norfolk to earn a living
@@somethingdifferentgy imagine being a shopkeeper and telling everyone the place where you sell your merch is garbage 😂
Being From Norfolk Yarmouth is great for a day out in the summer months, but you wouldn’t really want to be there for longer than a day !
Coming from Wales I love kings Lynn, Hunstanton,sherinham.
Did not like cromer.only place I been in Norfolk which felt unwelcoming.
@@terrystephens8603 I live in Sheringham and you hit the nail on the head with Cromer 😂
Conservative Brandon Lewis has been the local MP since 2010. What has the government been doing for the good people of Great Yarmouth all this time?
Making drastic cuts to all public services and local councils, that's what they have been doing.
Brandon Lewis. Clueless Lewis. Take the money and run Lewis. the mans a joke. same as the clueless councillors.
@@PSYCHIC_PSYCHOand you think Labour will magically make money appear .. are you really that stoopid.. lol
Go back in the summer it’s a whole different place
Yeah it's even worse 😂😂
Loved the Crazy Old wild Man of Great Yarmouth
this country turned him angry, paying his council tax for nothing
He's the Mayor of Great Yarmouth!
@@platonkarataev550 I thought he was the local MP ? ?
@@GilbertdeClare0704 I'd vote for him, better than the rubbish we have got!
I wouldn’t insult that genuine local salt of the earth taxpaying man to a parasite MP
I used to go to Great Yarmouth when I was a teen (1990s). I went there again roughly 10 years later and my god had it gone to ruin. Loads of heroin users and crack houses. Quite the eye opener. Very depressing. I'd never go there again. Hard, class A drugs have taken over.
An example of local councils being underfunded by the government. Happening in most towns/cities throughout the county.
The country has gone to sh*t!
Have some sympathy the tories snd their friends need to take from thr poor to fund their boats and supercars.
Nothing to do with the government. The first thing an incompetent council does is blame the government. The council runs the town.
Govt funds the councils (as well as council tax)@@williebobs3830
@@williebobs3830Your comment proves that you are utterly ignorant and infinitely less intelligent than a turd: Ever since the Tories got elected in 2010 they have made drastic cuts to all public services and local councils, and public sector wages have been stagnant for 20 years in relation to the cost of living at present. Councils can only do so much which depends on the funding from the Central Government. I'm not saying that local councils spend every penny wisely, but since 2010 this country has been reduced to a sewer.
@@williebobs3830 It is though. The reason for deprivation in these towns is directly caused by neo-liberal economic policy implemented in the 80's. Send the jobs & manufacturing offshore, cut local spending, and rely on the myth of "trickle down" economics and this happens. Most people dont make the connection tho and the same governments keep doing the same thing to benefit their corporate buddies
Sad to see the state of the town , it was our summer treat to go their in the 70s , great sandy beaches and a superb fun fair
Keep my wife's name outta Yarmouth
Very good! 😂😂
8:49 love this guy. Bet he’s got a story to tell. He’s very expressive.
He just short and eye patch and a parrot.
I love that guy too. I'm commenting just so I can get notified by others if they comment the same.
Hippodrome Circus is worth a visit. Built in 1903 It is one of only two purpose-built permanent circuses in England still in operation, and one of only three in the world with a circus floor that sinks into a pool. They put on a great show.
The town has a totally different vibe in the summer.
its an excellent town, just needs a lick of paint!
Out There Festival is also great for circus and street arts. Out There Arts is looking to transform the empty Ice House on the quay into an international centre for circus and is getting the local community involved in creating artwork for it.
I just randomly saw your film today. Excellent work may I say. Well edited and presented. First class which is more than can be said for our poor old Blighty these day. Thanks for sharing.....
Great episode, go to Lowestoft next please I think it's even more deprived
Depraved, I lived there for a few years, it's a sh1thole only good for drunks and druggies.
Lowestoft's a paradise compared to yarco
Haha are you serious, Lowestoft is an absolute hole, least Yarmouth gets tourists in the summer, who on Earth goes on holiday to Lowestoft 😂😂
@daryld4457 . I so agree.. went for a day out with friends, I think the birds eye factory is a must!!!!... shame the yobs smashed the "Ness".... never again.....
Lowestoft is a dead town nothing there for anyone lol 😂
I live in Norwich. Yarmouth is only 30 mins away by train. It is what it is. If you want a bit of beach and some okay eating places it's fine. I certainly wouldn't want to live there. When I was young and living in Hertfordshire, my family had lots of holidays in caravans in Yarmouth. It was great as a kid but over the years I've certainly seen a decline unfortunately.
Norwich is a shit hole now
@@chrisbutcher3280 Well it's just your opinion. Norwich is a fantastic city. Great transport links, an airport, great shopping, loads of music venues, lots of wide open spaces, historical buildings. Yes, it has its social problems but what city hasn't?
Norwich is one of the few remaining English cities not to be flooded with Muslims and enrichers.
@@chrisbutcher3280 You are right there.
My family used to take me & my cousin to Great Yarmouth in the early 90's, every year. Then later on in the late 90's, myself & friends used to come down in a Campervan & it was brilliant. Seeing the place now makes me really sad. it is hard to describe how great it was back then, it was like another world, I miss old Great Yarmouth. .
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.
13 years of Tory rule and no one can even afford teeth these days. Very sad state of affairs.
Nothing to do with tory rule. Their main industry is tourism. Air planes had the biggest impact..
@@mrwideboy So air planes and tourism stopped them from getting an NHS dentist? Riiight.
@TriviaChallenge no covid did.and Gordon Browns 159Bn defict mess he left the County with, which caused the problems in the Cameron era. OK, the torys fuxked the country with brexit but these towns voted for it. Besides what's the NHS got to with a gradual decline in an industry and a town
The 2030 agenda, the goal, one world government, regardless of tories or Labour
@TriviaChallenge what has NHS treatment got to do with the gradual loss of an industry.resulting in the decay of a town. I noticed you forgot about the chineese wuhan virus, which had massively cause back logs or the 159Bn defict Gordon Brown left us with.
I've never personally been in t he off season, but during the summer on the main strip the place is buzzing a full of life
It's what you want and make of great Yarmouth. I love great Yarmouth
Same. We go every year
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.
My grandparents lived near there in the 70s/80s and it was a lovely place to go. Now sadly it has become like the rest of Britain under the vile conservative party. Unlivable and depressing!
Don't fall for the left / right scam
Neither are your friend
the lady mentioned the decline from the 80's/90's - I don't think the blame can be laid on one political party, they are all the same !
@@markosmith8037 I could not agree more with you, Yes they are all the same and as bad as each other. But the tories have finished things of the most the past 14 years. In the 70s Yarmouth was lovely and in the 80s it was pretty good too. Shame seeing it like this now, a real shame.
Spot on. The old 'slagging match' in parliament with the supposed 'opposition' seemingly just toeing the line. I think things have noticeably declined since the year 2000, but definitely accelerated since. Although I don't think there is a single reason for the decline. The local councils don't seem to do anything constructive to encourage visitors. @@waynesmith4612
Don`t matter which party it is their agenda is not the same as the common person. The left and right both use the same pot . Its time for a change of political direction .
I used to work down there a lot,I’m from Aberdeen and I’d been there a week at times.
This was mid nineties and it was decent,We went out on the pish and had great times 🏴
Old bloke was was pretty correct about the Italians & Greek Cypriots when they came a few decades ago. They created great food establishments during Yarmouth's golden years of the seaside and employed many people.
Please please please do the seaside town Hartlepool, The Headland. It’s where I’m from, was once a prosperous fishing town and known for being called monkey hangers lol😂
😂
the older guy is hilarious Wendel-we need to hear more of him -let's see him with regular inputs lol🤣

I was there early 90’s as a young kid with my parents, circa 92/94 and I’ve got such great memories. So sad to see, pretty much like the rest of the uk in general and all seaside resorts.
Just a fantastic place growing up. I will move back one day.. despite the decline..
I ran a small cafe in Yarmouth last summer. I have to say I found the various different communities there, although there is high unemployment and lots of people on low incomes, to be a very welcoming lot. I enjoy the multicultural nature of Great Yarmouth and look forward to another summer coming up .
I am 52 and have some wonderful memories as a child during summer holidays
Please return in the summer and hopefully it’s a bit more lively
No money in a good news story
This has made me quite sad. Great Yarmouth was the first place in GB I visited on a school exchange program some fifty years ago. It used to be such a lively merry place.
if your looking for a deprived seaside town go to blyth in northumberland its an absoloute shithole and has turned into a dump
Sounds a lot like Birmingham......a third world shit hole....!!!
I'm currently as I write this living out of temporary housing in great Yarmouth as I was made homeless back in may. From my experiences here it all depends where u are, some areas are worse than others but some are generally rather nice. The water gardens is a frequent on my walks because of how peaceful it is. Just now finished the vid, u actually walked down the street I'm on, Princes Street.
Yes! I just got in with a Chinese and you've done my home Town. Hahaha. Sad I didn't see anyone I know on there though. It's horrendous. What he said about people accepting that there are only jobs for 8 months of the year is true. There's absolutely nothing there. At least 90% of people are on the dole. If you live in Yarmouth you've admitted that there's no point in you being alive. I left in 2016 to join the Army and basically never went back. I did have a few months there last year just to see, and never again. Everyone is just on the dole and selling drugs. They think it's good to be like that. Disgusting mess.
Happy to review your homeland 🫡
That's not the case though it. 90% of the peopke aren't on the dole at all, that's just feeble sensationalist nonsense. Good job you left, you obviously couldn't contribute anything positive.
Those waterways were a childs dream. I remember when I was a lad back in the 50s. Dad would take me on a boat and as it went round the winding waterways on the banks were moving figers. Night time was best as they all lit up. Memories 🙂
Wow ! I can't believe the state of the Winter Garden now ! what a shame ! Great Yarmouth was great in the 60's, good in the 90's and fooked in 2024 !
Yep, funding secured to revamp it
I was born there and left when I was 15, I have been back once and now realize leaving when I did was one of the best decisions of my life.
Captain Birdseye won't be inviting any Mongolians to the capn's table looks like 😬
Me and my Grandad (God rest his soul) used to come up to Yarmouth to spend time in the arcades. A little flutter, nothing serious. But we'd have lunch up there, talk about things, Yarmouth may not be amazing to live in.... but it is symbolic to me. I wish I could go back and relive those memories.
I took my two kids ( Cypriot there ) now we been all over the world and they loved it !
use to be lot of greeks there late 70,s
I’m from Norwich, dad was born and raised for most of his childhood in Yarmouth. My mum worked late shifts when I was a kid so my dad would often take myself and my sister out to Yarmouth during weekend daytime while my mother was sleeping. We would just walk along the beech, have ice cream and sometimes dip into the amusements for a laugh on the 2p machines.
It’s a strange one for me because even as a kid I knew the place was run down and actually it was much worse back then in terms of empty buildings and hopelessness (if you can believe that) because in recent years they have spent money on the seafront just revamping the place and making it look better, all the same I have a lot of nostalgia and even now when my family go for the odd trip out to Yarmouth I will jump at the chance. I have large extended family in Yarmouth and even though I’ve never lived there it is like a second home to me.
My most recent visit was shocking. The place is packed full of migrants. People give you strange looks and don’t speak English. Posters for missing people are very prominent and once you’re off the seafront Yarmouth is still dingy and run down. My brother, sister and young nephew were walking on their own when I noticed groups of migrant men leering at my sister, I immediately accompanied them because I feared for her safety.
It’s all very sad.
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
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.
Saw a video about people finding basements under their houses where they'd been houses in the past and built on and covered up to be discovered with period correct wallpaper and artifacts from over the yrs
Put the old guy up for a award for saying what he thinks .
Our once great nation is in tatters ! And it’s all manufactured by our government !
Well done mate another brilliant video. The way you deliver and your point of view is spot on. You've actually got me thinking that I should be doing a lot more for people less fortunate than me so keep up your good work for what you are doing can only be for the good 👍 thank you Keith ❤

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
Such a shame could be beautiful, thanks for sharing.
The migrants 4 years in tax paid for migrant hotel..still not processed, paying millions into that rather than Plough it into the town.
Maybe you should interview the landlords making money out of hmo's and a manager of Bet Fred. They're doing okay. The Tories are behind the deterioration. Manipulating the masses to benefit the few.

In 1976 “ the hot summer!” it was a thriving seaside town, the hippodrome circus was full for the afternoon and evening shows, the nightclubs were heaving the cafe’s, shops and restaurants were busy. It was the place to be for a summer holiday, now, like most holiday resorts it changed beyond recognition. What on earth is happening to this wonderful little island.
Ive been coming to Yarmouth 65 yearsi still love it.
The guy in green top with glasses is one of the 'mellors' that family get everywhere...😂😂😂
I like going to the races at Yarmouth. Harry Ramsden’s for supper afterwards and then home. A good day out.
The £1.50 quarter pounder burgers tempted me 😍 lol Thanks for the upload its looks so run down and that winter gardens i bet was amazing in its heyday.
@helopi8 it was I Remember when it was open the was massive child's play area and a bar and it was all themed was a really nice place at the time it said to see what left of it just decaying as it a grade 2 listed building it just being left to rot but maybe someday something good will happen to do it we will just have to see what happens.
4 years in England "Sorry Bro". HOW the fuk he manage that much English 😂
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!
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.
You get fined for taking your kids to the seaside at weekends? Wtf 🤔
Been in the country four years and can't explain how he likes it there, strange.

Nice to see the bloke at the end with a bit of positivity. Thing is with the deprivation of Britain we can all chip in together in the community to clean the area up a bit. I believe people on benefits should be made to do 20 hours a week community service to get there money. The towns and cities will soon get there pride back. And cash strapped councils can save on labour
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
These guys wouldn't have a YT career... It's the angle they've chosen and a lot of RUclipsrs try their best to portray the UK as a cesspit for views.
You haven't got a clue. The place is a shit hole. Just drive around and look at the roads the gardens in the gutters. not seen a road sweeper for years. If you think it's so good walk down king street and st Peters rd in the evening. plank
@@stevehaworth2504 er I live 15 minutes away, I’ve been there plenty enough to know what I’m talking about thank you 😀
@@reececollison5101I also live locally and avoid it like the plague best thing about it is the sign out
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

I visited for a holiday in 2006 and it was full of life, a happy 18yr old me was loving the night life as well as the daytime events. I went back there in 2023 and it looked so bad. It is such a shame how far from grace, Great Yarmouth has fallen!
This is the realities of New Labours tenure and the Tories have not done anything to change it will vote Reform UK
It’s a sad reality. Nothing like when I was a kid (37) withernsea is an alright place to check out too. We head to Cornwall now. Beautiful beaches and no where near as run down. Cheap holidays £120 for 3 nights. No complaining.
This is looking like many places nowadays very sad. Try birkenhead.
Enjoy most of your videos.
We used to love the two days we would moor up in Yarmouth when we went on holiday to the broads in the 80s. The excitement of chugging through breedon water to get there . I was a teenager my sister in primary school
Im suprised you found a few folk who actually speak english there!
Overwhelming majority of people in Great Yarmouth are native British people, so why wouldn't they be able to speak English???????
Do you live there? Have you ever been there? It is British white 90 plus percent.
Mate, it is overwhelmingly white here.
We always visit Great Yarmouth in May when the promenade is fresh and clean, it’s beautiful in spring and summer and we’ll continue to stay in Yarmouth as we have for the past 50yrs. I am sorry though, to see what a struggle it has been for its vast community.
People just expect without giving anything back.
Especially the multimillionaires who spend on Tory party donations and gold wallpaper
@@emmabrooker166 that sentence is a complete oxymoron…
I thought they were going to refurbish the winter gardens. Hello from Lowestoft. Me and my kids go to the Fair Freights during the Halloween week. In Yarmouth, and it's awesome.
Blame Jeff Bezos and amazon...
I live maybe 5 miles from Great Yarmouth, so I recognise most of the locations. It is indeed miserable outside of holiday season. It does get a bit "moody" at night in the backstreets. The last few years have been very tough on the local economy and is shows.
That old guy is hilarious 😂
Is he?
This breaks my heart.Thank God I have such wonderful memories of caravan holidays at South Dene caravan park,fishing in the docks with my Grandad.Such lovely afternoons in the Winter Gardens.
