Lived in Gorleston from 1964 till/84. Used to be a large outdoor swimming pool where the bandstand now is. I remember there was pride if you got a pool season ticket allowing VIP access to its fabulous interior ( I got my 25 yards swimming certificate at the pool). Worked on the parks and gardens for a couple of years during 1975/76 the great drought. Fun times. Gorleston went through a rough patch and was neglected and unkept, then a renaissance back to the pretty seaside town. Ended up as an entertainer and worked the Ocean Room and the Pavillion many times. Thanks for the nostalgic walk around some of my old haunts.

We visited a couple of months ago for the very first time. Such a lovely place. Free seafront parking, lovely Pier Hotel and beach. Also went into Ocean Bay amusements shown near the start of your video. Absolutely brilliant with old school levels of service from lovely family owners and very fair machines. They were also offering a £12 bag of 2ps for the pushers for only £10. You have won before you even start playing !. Superb value and well worth a visit.

Absolutely loved this film Tim. Thank you so much for doing it. I absolutely loved living in Gorleston in the early 60s and still miss the magical life we had there. Your film has brought back many memories. I learnt to swim in the open air pool that used to be where the bandstand is now. My class went at 9am in the morning, in the summer term, walking from my primary school (Stradbroke Junior) and the water was invariably freezing at that time in the morning. We very soon learnt to look at the daily water temperature ( on a blackboard at the pay kiosk) on arrival to get an idea how frigid the water would be. At that time the hall adjacent was called The Floral Hall, ( I recall a riot of coloured flowers around it) and they did afternoon dances. I heard my first Beatles song played then ( I wanna hold your hand) as I was swimming in the pool with friends on a hot summer afternoon, and the big Floral Hall sliding doors were pushed open. My little brother used to sail his toy yacht in the yacht pond, and one Sunday pushed it out too far, overbalanced, and ended up in the water. We had to go home in a hurry! The following Sunday we went again, and my dad was remarking to mother ‘ exactly just this time last week ‘you know who’ fell in the pond’ when we heard a splash....and he had done it again!

Thanks Tim for another great video. Forgot how beautiful Gorleston is I felt my nanny was watching this video with me Bless her it was her favourite place ever. Me and my husband Have decided later in the year we are going camping as close As we can to Gorleston. Thanks so much you should have your own TV program on television.👍👍👍

I've been going to Yarmouth for a few years...but it was only last year when i actually decided to have a look at Gorleston...and what a lovely little place, thanks for taking us there in these difficult times....

The Great British seaside is wonderful whether it's along the rugged cliffs or the bucket and spade resorts . Can't get enough of these videos .

Hi Tim. In 1977 we was on holiday with our two young son's . We got on a ferry boat across the river to gorleston on sea . The ferry went from outside the old birds eye factory in vermouth.we went to the old walled town of gorleston, we found a old pottery and next door was fish smoke house.

I’m so glad that I have found your videos to sit back and enjoy watching. I have very fond memories of my holidays as a child in and around Great Yarmouth and every year I always try to make a day visit or have a few nights stay. Thank you for sharing your lovely videos. I’m hoping to have a few nights stay later on this year.

Really good, nice use of graphics. Thanks 😊

Great walk, Tim. These first videos that you did in the middle of the coronavirus restrictions are like a time capsule already. Hope that all the attractions etc are now back open in Gorleston.

One of my favourite places ever, gorelston beach is an absolute hidden gem 👍👍

I love this Beach.. Have visited twice in the last 7 years.. beautiful sand

What an amazing video! Love Gorleston and this video shows some of my favourite places (was part of the "Gorleston boat model club" for few years. Stopped because of lack of time due to my job) so, I was frequently at the pond! ❤️

Lovely to see these introduction vlogs into your local Seaside & Coastal areas Tim. Down on the East Coast where you live there is some fine examples of Victorian Artitechure & Features. Beautiful areas of Beaches & Coastline's 🌅🌊 No wonder you love it so much 💙

Loved the video buddy! Used to Holiday there in the 80's with my Parents when I was a Child - Still have very Fond memories. Was blown away when I saw it featured in 'Yesterday'!!

I’ve lived here all my life, born in the JPH brought up in Gorleston and now Yarmouth, we are very lucky to have such beautiful open spaces so near.

Thank you Tim, Kate sent me, I spent a lot of time in Gorleston as a child and spent most of it in the swimming pool where the band stand is you showed. And on what we called the little beach (near harbour wall) and sailed my red yacht in the boating lake and played I. The kiddies pool but it’s different to when I was a child it was just blue in the bottom and had a very small gradient. Glad to see the big arch is there with the gardens and the building use to have the toilets in. My uncle Donnie was chairman of the bowls club he played many years. I will enjoy following you as I like going with Kate on virtual walks we are confined to the house shielding for now. So many happy memories thank you Anni

Thanks so many memories of visiting my cousins in Gorleston back in the 50/60’s.

Tim I absolutely loved yr video showing us everywhere on a beautiful day ime one of Kate's followers the content & filming was excellent I really enjoyed it tim xxx

I absolutely love this area. Was born in the JPUH and grew up in Lowestoft but now live on the south coast xxx

I used to live on Clarence Road in the mid 2000's and have appeared at the Pavillion. I'm back up near Manchester now and watching your video was not only a trip down memory lane, but also a little holiday. Thank you.

Great video tim happy memories of that area lovely beachs cheers

Hi I've come over from Kate macabes channel and really enjoying seeing parts of the country I've not visited. It all looks beautiful and I'm off to binge watch your videos now x

In 1978, I was an 13yr American teenager and lived a couple of streets off the beach right by the tennis and lawn bowling courts. We used to ride bikes and skate down the driveway to the beach by the gardens. I left lots of skin and blood on that pavement. Still have lots of photos from the 70's of my parents in the Ocean Room. I seem to remember an American or Petroleum Club there back then also. Can't wait to go back and visit!!! Thanks for the memories.

Nice tour with narration..👍

Thanks Tim enjoyed my walk with you as always !

Just came across this video by chance and loved it. I lived in Gorleston, quite near Marine Parade when I was a kid in the 60s. Astonished and happy to see that after all that time very little has changed.

Fantastic videos you make mate pleasure to watch and very informative well done :)

Many happy memories of family holidays here in the 60s and 70s. We usually stayed in a lovely old building on Marine Parade, converted into holiday flats, Scroby House. Now once more a private house. Parents usually booked the flat at the top, overlooking Marine Parade with fab views out to sea. Great vid Tim!

I love your videos, my husband and I holiday every year either yarmouth ,hemsby or corton and didn't realise just how many places we have missed .I thought after 15 years we would have pretty much been every where ❤👍

I love you enthusiasm and i can tell you love Yarmouth too, its lovely to see. I do not live there but it has always been in my heart like many who have commented below. i strangely feel more at home and at Gt Yarmouth than where i live and have grown up. I really hope to visit again sometime soon. I hope you stick around this beautiful area. :) Great work again Tim

Hi Tim, love the videos, we live in Spain, I am originally from east anglia, I used to go to Gorleston for the Sunday school outing, and started my nursing career in the james Paget hospital. We discovered your videos today! I was showing them to my Cuban husband who hope's to visit Norfolk and the UK for the first time this Autumn. Nice to see Gt Yarmouth in a more positive light, A couple of suggestions, the broads and caister st Edmund, Keep up the good work!

Beach is huge. So pretty there. Seems like such a relaxing place to go with your family.

Thank you so so much Tim. This has really cheered me up. Brought back some amazing memories from my Childhood. Take care. 🤗💕

Happy days! I lived there as a boy from '58 to '67 and loved it. Lots of changes of course, when I was there, you could actually jump off the (lower) prom on to the beach. The drop was nowhere near as big. It was great to see the yacht pond revived, spent a lot of time sailing my model yacht there and rounded off the day with an ice cream from Della Spina yummy! Lol Many thanks for a wonderful trip down memory lane.

Few hundred on the beach! 6,500! Largest number of extras ever in Europe. The work on quayside is to strengthen the sea defences. Anyone can visit the Coastwatch volunteers btw The splashed will reopen, they remove the working parts in the winter. It will reopen. Love your video.

Few years ago I have participate the Gorleston Parkrun along the Seafront with his beautiful sandy beach and gardens. I really enjoy your video. Thank you.

Clear blue skies and golden sands...... not how I remember Yarmouth when I visited as a kid!!!!

hi there, hoppy here, the beach across the river is called spending beach me and the lads used to fish off there for years until the offshore company halliburton moved in and walled it all off, typical, used to be used by lots of anglers, also used in the old days for boats in trouble to run up on for repairs

Hi, lived there in 1946 until 1956, the ocean rooms used to be the Floral Hall and also had an outdoor pool,popular for dancers i remember watching the Joe Loss band there, there used to be a ferry boat( to Yarmouth (rowing boat 22passengers some standing ) it was used by workers going to Birds Eye factory, and also Erie Resistor,also used by Scottish Fisher girls.My parents lived there until the late 90’s. Love going back.

Used to love the swimming pool where the bandstand is !! Happy days , thank you !

Absolutely love gorleston beach great video

amazing drone footage friend. and walking tour in this beautiful seafront is so relaxing. great to see this amazing place

Thanks for another great video. Easy to see why Norfolk is such a popular holiday destination. Been clubbing down at the Ocean Rooms a couple of times.

Loving your videos, just binge watching them, finding them very informative, and looking forward to visiting all these places. We’ve not long only moved to Norfolk. Going forward, I would find it useful if you could tell us if the beaches are dog friendly, I realise a lot are not, but some of the more remote ones may be. Kate directed me your way. Thank you.

nice to sea wales again i went there about 17 years ago thanks tim

Great video as usual remember the ocean rooms in the 60 s great bands played there happy days

Love the East coast. Cracking vid buddy. ty

I recently managed to walk from the pier to that turbine in Lowestoft and back again. It was a goal of mine.

Great job!! Thank you!!

Amazing video, ad professional job, I really enjoyed.

Beautiful beach

Many thanks for the vid.

Beach,Sand,Second to None,Nice Clean Place with a Amazing Beach.

This is my favourite beach in the area - hands down!

Kate sent me over. :)

Very interesting indeed 👍

Thanks Again! Could you do a Short one of Hopton please, as the Beach there is also Lovely. I can’t believe how clear and Blue, all the Seas Are looking now! Xx

Loving your videos 😍x

SPECIAL REQUEST 😃. If you do Lowestoft, can you do The Naval Memorial, north of the town alongside the A12 Yarmouth Road, approximately one mile north of the harbour? It's in a prominent position within a local authority gardens, known as Bellevue Park. It's on the top of the cliffs and the memorial itself is on the edge of the cliff and unobscured view of the foreshore and sea. Commemorating almost 2,400 men of the Royal Naval Patrol Services who have no grave but the sea. Local fisherman and conscript Charles McCondach is commemorated there and I've never visited the memorial. He was blown up by a mine with only 1 survivor in a trawler converted to a minesweeper in 1940. Do keep up your entertaining high quality clips nevertheless. Great stuff!

Another great video.

Looks a nice place,no litter hate litter.

Think you could get to that little beach before the outer harbour was built, spent many hours round Gorleston and had many take aways from the the pnes you showed, love Gorleston town to. There used to be a ferry across the harbour, no idea when it stopped. Gorleston theater is beautiful inside and out and the staff in the pier hotel are so friendly.

My home town :) great video!

we absolutley love gorlston beach go there every year with some good freinds of ours
