[@catrescuer]

Hi Tim, we went as a family to Skegness. I was shocked at how clean and tidy it was. There was no chip fat smell and no boarded up shops or graffiti. The people were so friendly. We enjoyed the bustling town centre with small independent shops and stalls. There was plenty of parking £3 for 4 hours by the sea front. It reminded me of how Great Yarmouth used to be. Thanks for recommending this place. Great day out.

I love Skegness and I would go there anytime of the day or the week. Skegness is a place I used to like going on holiday and I know it has changed over the years and there is new stuff there now judging and watching this video of Skegness. This is a fish and chip shop on the seafront next to Tony's fish and chip shop and it is a place where I used to get fish and chips and curry of my dinner when ever I was on holiday down there. It is very well loved seafront seaside where all the people including me like to visit and take stroll along the seafront and get a ice cream or a donut and go to the amusements and play on the machines especially the coin pusher where the 2ps move off the edge and you win prizes like a 5 pound note or a keyring etc. This is childhood stuff for me when I was little and I would like to thank you for uploading the video for all of us to see right now in full view and see what has changed over the years. Thank you.

My favourite place in the uk and my most happiest memories in my life were here. (besides the birth of my daughter)! Went here every august for 15 years or more as a kid with my grandparents and now I’m doing the same for my daughter 🥰 she was two today (Sunday 28th) so this year will be her first proper year there 💪🏻 thanks for the video!

[@sueg2470]

Loved this Tim. Stayed at Skegness Butlins about 15years ago three years running when my boys were young. We visited the town itself a handfull of times. I remember a water splash area you could walk through on the front. It was redeveloped the second time we visited . Some very happy memories here. X

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Thanks for watching sue, I think that's still there if you watch when I walk around the boating lake and the first drone shot from above

[@Bob-ts2tu]

i've only been to skeggy once in the the 60's as a kid of about 8, and never got around to going back for some reason, so looks like it's worth a visit. I remember last time i found a womans purse on the beach, so took it to the police station, and while there a panicking woman was asking if anyone had handed one in. it was perfect timing and she gave me two bob as a thank you, which i was a bit reluctant to take as it seemed so much lol and i didnt expect anything, but i paid for me n dad to go on the dodgems for the first time - nostalgia aint what it used to be is it :), so thanks for this, gave me some ideas.

Haven’t been to Skegness for quite a few years and it looks a lot nicer than I remember. Didn’t even know they had the little boats and you showed a lot of places that I don’t think I knew were there. Really enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing and stay safe😀😀

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Thanks Bridgette very kind of you to say 😀

[@robertdixon6760]

Great film. Spent many childhood holidays in Skegness. The pier was my favourite place. I used to fish from it. Remember seeing Les Dawson in a comedy play in the early ‘70’s in the theatre which was at the very end. Very sad when it was destroyed in January 1978. There were plans to repair and re-open the theatre but nothing came of it.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Thanks Robert for watching

[@melissaphillips3088]

Lots to see here and do. Beautiful day to do that. Beach looks so big and pretty. Amazing place ! The pier is great !!

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Thanks for visiting

[@joepineapples7774]

Great to see the remote control boats still there. As kids, we used to go to Skeggy on the annual day trip from our village 'top club' trip back in the late 60s - 70s. Anyone else remember the 'Wall Of Death' motorcycle setup at the Pleasure Beach?. We also dropped on two good (hot) summers at the nearby Butlins (would have been mid 70s), where we stayed for 2 weeks (I think). Happy days (if only we could go back in time). Great video and looked really nice in the sunshine.

I love these videos. Living in Australia now, we obviously have better beaches here but we don’t have the proper seaside towns like back home. I’ve been back to the UK a couple of times but there’s never enough time to recreate all my childhood memories like my trips to Skeggy. Skegness looks quite nice here. I have some terrible memories of the place. I trod on something on the beach when I was a child and cut my foot open and then one time I got car sick on a trip to Skeggy and pretty much threw up throughout the entire drive from Nottingham

The pier was three times as long originaly, with a theater on the end. The center section was destroyed in the big storm of 1976. And strangely the theater burnt down the next year. The fun fair was built on sand dunes, the railings by McDonalds drive through was the original sea wall. The original fair was started by Billy Butlin. Rumour has it he and the local council measured out the land and hammered stakes to mark the boundry, then he and a friend returned in the dead of night and moved the stakes outward another twenty feet in all directions. (I was beach maintainance officer for six years and this story was told to me by the son of Billy Butlins friend).
