Hi there Tim, your video is a great attempt at showing off the towns wonderful history.... However there are quite a few inaccuracies in some of the facts you are talking about. As people have already mentioned Nelson was born in Burnham Thorpe, but visited Yarmouth and was given freedom of the Borough in 1801. The Star Hotel is not the oldest hotel in the town, and was originally the Cromwell Hotel, the Star Hotel stood next door where the YMCA stands now, The Nelson museum closed its doors for the final time in October of last year which is a great loss to the town, and there were never any gallows outside the Tolhouse or the townhall--the original gallows stood on the North Denes where Jellicoe Road is now. A great video though highlighting some of our towns amazing history, when lockdown is finally lifted why not come and join one of the heritage walks that runs during the summer season :)

@bextheevilpixie : Inaccuracies can pop up anywhere, such as in your own comment where is no apostrophe in "showing off the towns history" which if only one town should be "town's". There are always keen eyes spotting inaccuracies. I used to live in Gt Yarmouth.

Thanks for your fascinating tour, Tim! Can I please add that Admiral Lord Nelson is England's greatest naval hero who put an end to the tyrant Napoleon's expansionist ambitions and in so doing gave his own life for his beloved country at the battle of Trafalgar on the 21st October 1805. The traditional toast on the anniversary of his death in battle is "The Immortal Memory!" and for good reason. It's a proper reason to crack a bottle ! Great Yarmouth was an important naval base throughout the Napoleonic Wars. Nelson, who was born at Burnham Thorpe, landed at Great Yarmouth on three occasions. Landing there after the Battle of the Nile, in 1798, he was given a hero's welcome and was carried to the Wrestler's Inn, on Church Plain where he was presented with the Freedom of the Borough. The Norfolk Naval Pillar, as it is officially known, has stood for 200 years at South Denes. Building it on an empty sand spit ensured it would be seen from both land and sea. I believe you can climb up the inside to the top on special public open days. Thanks, Tim!

Some friends lived in that row of houses above the smugglers' tunnel back in the 80s. They had a major haunting that was witnessed by several people, and it caused quite a stir at the time. I lived in the attic of the Oakwood pub, not far away, and that place came alive at times too! 😱 Love your vids!! 😁

I ga I have looked at your walk round great Yarmouth and I think there are some errors. Most important Lord Nelson was not born in Great Yarmouth and only came to the town 3 times. I think he was born in Thorpe Market but I need to look that up. You can go in the Royal Naval Hospital and look round and on heritage day we will show you round the chapel, the library and the museum. The slots round the wall are not really for guns but for bows and arrows. People not buried in the church yard are buried in the dissenters burial site within the town wall the site by the potteries is the Jewish Grave yard and the synagogue was also outside the wall. One reason the wall took so long was because of the black death when half the town died and are buried under Sainsbury's car park. When the wall was finished it was obsolete as the cannons were far more powerful which is why in some places the earth is piled up inside the wall.

I lived there for a year in 70/71 and had no idea about the wall! I remember once going to the home of a girl from school that must have been in the old rows. The bath tub was in the kitchen and the toilet in the alley outside. Sad to hear the town has hit hard times. It was one of the most fun years of my life. For a teenager the seafront was great fun.

When the lockdown started me and my partner were considering making a documentary of the history of the town from the beginning of the town up until modern times... this would be great for us history buffs and for school children who live in and around Norfolk.

Only just seen these videos on here of my home town. Lived in great yarmouth all of My life. Your right it has so much history. While growing up I heard so many stories of tunnels underneath great yarmouth most are blocked off. I would love to be able to explorer. If I find one I will let you know.. I suppose it's knowing the right people. Keep on with the videos good work. I was always told that the Nelson monument when placed was facing the wrong direction and the architect sadly committed suicide for that reason. The famous jetty pier was my favourite place as a kid always there either fishing or crabbing. But it had alot of history behind it to. Sadly another piece of history was taken away from the town. And was demolished. Look forward to see more on great yarmouth. 👍

A snippet of interest, Around the base of Nelsons column it is walled and my father who was production manager at the time(erie resistor) together with 3others kept pigs in the area, this was in the late 40 ‘s and early 50’s. They fed the pigs with waste from the factory canteen.

Fascinating stuff. I've been to Great Yarmouth a couple of times for a stroll and the beach with a burger and ice cream because I never really thought there was anything else - I never, ever realised there was all this to it. However, I would believe the slits (called 'loopholes') in the walls were not (initially at least) for guns or muskets as I would imagine the walls predate any of them, but for bows and arrows/slingshot. Brilliant video again.

I lived for about 10 years on "The Mount" on Howard Street South..The Houses were built as accommodation for fireman who served in the adjacent Fire Station which was at the end of Victoria Arcade..The "Undercroft" on top of which the houses were built dates from the 13th century and is one of only two examples in the whole of Europe..I think it was part of the Greyfriars complex of buildings which now house the Council Offices..I have been underneath and there are blocked off doors and a lot of sand infill..After it's religious use it was used as a Merchants Store and probably had other uses over the years before the houses were built.

I live about 15 mins away from Yarmouth but learnt alot! Will be taking a look n might even stay in the star hotel. There's also a mention of the body snatchers who used to steal bodies from that church yard. Think it's in a mark mower book.

Great video. I visit Yarmouth most Sundays for a good long walk, you have given me a mission now. Recently I discovered a house that claims to be the site of WW1 first fatalities. The suspension bridge story was new to me, thanks. Every day is a school day.

I love Great Yarmouth & Gorleston a lot. I know it has its faults but it has so much history and so many interesting buildings and artefacts. It really needs a lot of employment to come in to give a lift to the area.

You channel is wonderful. Really interesting about the wall its unbelievable it still stands. Yarmouth is close to my heart as i used to go to california sands and go to club oasis. I wonder if it’s still there? Anyway keep up the good work. Ive been watching this all week and ive got to take my girlfriend to wells by the sea to stay in those wonderful round thatched cottages. All the best tim
