Wow I used to holiday there a lot in the 70s and 80s and always wondered what it would look like with snow, great video. Creek Road is unrecognisable now but I remember it exactly as in your video.

Hope you don't mind, I loved your walk through snowy 1988 Creek road. That I shared the film on the Hayling Island F.B.site and as you can see by the sudden rise in the viewing count. There's a lot of interest. Happy Christmas.

@iancarpenter3342 3 жыл бұрын

It was called Blazes, then it became Bennetts around this time.

I remember it as Dixies and the Shore club

@@SmallroomProductions Yes you're right, but but it was the Cutter that became first Millers when JM Inns took it over, then Dixies (Shores was the club at the seafront side, it was split into two). The larger building to the left as you look from Southwood Road was Blazes nightclub. Then that became Bennett's.

Doesn't quite look like that now, does it? And I'm not talking about the snow.

My guess is January 1987. I can`t remember any snow in Portsmouth 1988. Great footage though.

The working man's holiday paradise, murdered by Hayling Island's moneycentric local authority when they ruined the best beach on this stretch of the South Coast for the benefit of the Snotty Yachties around the Point. All the little seaside businesses depended on high-tide beach evacuees and were slowly strangled, then bulldozed to create Universal Credit hutches. You can see tumbleweeds rolling down it now - never be another like it. I doubt the L.A. has the collective wit to wonder how much money and work over time was brought in to the Island by the old Creek Road/Sandy Point.

Forth generation video game consols did a lot of the damage to the seawide arcades, along with cheap holidays abroad from the 80's onwards. Local Authority had little influence on that apart from allowing change of use of buildings as they slowly shut one by one and became abandoned. I saw it first hand over a 10 year period when less of my friends were holidaying there and now going abroad with their mum and dad. The working man had more disposable income from the mid 80's and bought games consols for their kids and took them abroad for holidays. thus many UK seaside destinations fell by the way side, not just Hayling.
