I have vivid memories of two holidays with my Mum when I was about 8 years old, staying in some of the great B&Bs, donkey rides on the beach and visiting Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole. Tim's visit to the bathing area by Knightstone Island brought back particular memories of the last day of one of our holidays, munching chips on the beach and catching crabs along the walkway with kids I'd just met :)

As a local it’s nice to see an outside perspective on our town. The Tropicana (now a funfair in summer and ice rink in winter) used to be an outdoor pool with the tallest diving boards in Europe and later became a fun pool which I remember from my childhood, however it never did very well due to the weather and expensive maintenance costs so the council closed it. The Grand Pier has actually burned down twice and the theatre was lost in the 1930’s fire so doubtful many alive today will remember shows from that era, although it’s possible there was a theatre there in the 50s but not 100% sure. However the main space in the pavilion is also used for shows and dinner events, they move all the arcade machines from the main floor when they do this, have been to a few Christmas parties there! In the first few years of the Grand Pier’s life they extended the jetty out the back by 1500ft so steamers could land and compete with the old Birnbeck Pier but the currents were so strong they weren’t able to safely land so it was demolished except for a stub which the function rooms are now built on. I was also in the last couple of people to leave the pier as they were shutting it the night before the fire, didn’t realise then it would be the last time we’d get to go on the pier we’d grown up with and as good as the new one is, the previous one was better in my opinion

I have a vague memory from the mid 70s when I was about 10 of going up to the high board and it seeming a damned sight higher once you were up there, turning around a bit sharpish and diving of the lower board.

@@paulhanson5164 I would love to have scene the iconic diving boards but sadly they were demolished the year before I was born. Apparently they had become unsafe due to the sea air corroding the concrete and rebar and despite being a listed Art Deco structure the council was granted permission to demolish them

The old pier had so much character and as a kid I remember being scared to walk on the planks, don’t like the rebuild at all when u get in there it’s just another arcade, the new owners wanted to change the old look but were denied then we had a fire 🤔 coincidental I don’t think😔

Was born in weston, but moved away about 18 years ago, i go back when I can to see family, I do miss the beach and the sea, the pier was free to go on before the fire, not so keen on the rebuild pier, I do miss the old one, so many memories growing up. And the Tropicana was an outdoor swimming pool loved going there as a kid. Weston has changed alot over the years. Loved you video. And plus evey year you get some stupid people get they car stuck in the mud 😒 🙄, even tho they are signs everywhere lol.

This is the nearest beach for me, a hour on a direct train, which GWR do run more direct trains in the summer from London all the way there & luckily stops at Swindon, when the weather is good everyone just goes down for the day ❤ been there 3 or 4 times this year already, I love it never gets old, I actually won a history dvd this year on the pier which shows the history from the first fire, to the 2008 one and what it is now got to see it get rebuilt to what it is now, some of the original structure is still there, deep in the ground, but had to replace most of it. Believe it or not, the sea does come in on a rare occasion and I've actually been in the sea there but if you go down to the right of the pier they have built a all year round pool, with a bridge over it, I have a short of it on my channel Love western super mud (I've seen people get stuck before, but the emergency services was fast to respond)

Brilliant video. I was born in Weston & have lived. Here all my life….. I remember going on the former Grand Pier b4 the newer one. They had a really cool big wheel. Which we went on…. And Tin Can Alley which was these Cats. With Bins that opened out & you had to throw the balls in. Great fun. The Bumper cars were good too. But sadly in 2008 I believe…. The Grand pier as it was caught fire. I remember going down that day to see what happened. There were thousands of people down there all crowded along the promonade. Some crying in disbelief. The prom covered in 15 fire engines. Sinse then though. Our Pier has risen again & bought joy to our town. We like the cafes & love Penny arcades. Dismal Land was one of the Best Events our town could wish for. We were lucky enough to go. We often visit Sandbay too. Kewstoke. Next door. There’s lots to do in Weston.

@@WalkWithMeTim there's good bits and bad bits. They tore down the bowling alley years ago to regenerate it but then left the area a waste land. The council charges too much rent (more than Bristol City centre) for shops in the buildings they own so we're losing alot of our high street as well. It's nice having the beach on your doorstep though and residents could apply for a card so they don't have to pay for the pier lol

While places like Worle, West Wick, Locking, Uphill and Worlebury and Kewstoke aren't actually as bad as people say they are.

There used to be a few shops at the entrance as well but thats all gone now sadly.....Like a lot of seaside places its suffered with under funding, unemployment and homelessness which makes the main shopping area a bit rundown and unkept. But it does have the best fish and chips restaurant and take away we have ever been to called Papa's on Waterloo Street, we stop there on the way back from Devon or Cornwall its that good...

The Funland park is no longer there - it was a temporary use of the Tropicana building for a couple of years (same space was also used for Banksie's Dismaland. Being converted into a music venue this year. It's a real shame the sand sculpture festival wasn't there when you were there, has been there for years but gone now. Marine Lake is lovely when it's fully functioning especially at night with the lights reflecting on the water :)

Weston has 3 piers, the 2 you mentioned plus that diamond shaped short pier which used to be an aquarium. Funland was originally the open air swimming pool called the Tropicana and was recently used as the BANKSY Dismaland art installation - the area is now a multi-use platfrom. The new pier was going to have a sky tower at the far end but the company building it went bust or something and I believe they could not find another company either willing or able to complete it.

Old pier definitely better 👍 was a good value day out 👍 the new pier was a scale factor of 10-20x more expensive than the old one when it reopened. When I was a kid I wrote a letter to Anekka Rice to try and get her to fix Birnbeck pier on Challenge Anekka 😁. Has been a state all of my 33 years!

I was born in Bristol myself but I grew up and still live in Weston-super-Mare. In regards to the Grand Pier's £1 entry fee, I have HEARD that you can get on without paying it *if* proven that you live in the town (though I have a feeling it's £1 to get on either way so don't take this as granted) even though I swear deep down that it used to actually be free until recent years. I just ABOUT remember the old building before it caught fire in '08 (and also remember the brief part which re-opened shortly after the fire happened). Weston was also the location for the "T4 on the Beach" event that used to air every summer on Channel 4 during the mid-00s and early-2010s. Another thing is that right near my family home, there's a plaque for the country's First Lord of Admiralty during WW2, The Earl Hillsborough (who was born in the town).

What a lot of people don't know is that where you've parked was actually a gift from the Queen hence the name Royal Sands. Sadly, our council still charge the earth for what should be free.

The name Royal Sands was given to the building when it was developed into apartments after being derelict for a decade, prior to that it was called the Royal Hospital, a name which it gained sometime in the first half of the 20th Century when we had a King on the throne. When it opened in 1871 it was known as the West of England Sanitorium and like many buildings in Weston was designed by local architect Hans Price. You might be thinking of the Queen Alexandra Memorial Hospital which whilst not a gift from royalty was funded in part by Thomas Knyfton who owned Uphill Manor
