      Obviously not the same as in the video or anything, but may be worth a look..

      Hello Lux. The place you're thinking of is the town of Southwold in Suffolk. Tim Hunkin's arcade is still on the pier, also the clock he made and the telescope at the very end of the pier. Go back there and relive your childhood. You won't be disappointed. Also, the restaurant on the pier does good food.
